Plus, Orla Kiely's top tips.

When you think of the sixties and seventies, what springs to mind? The Beatles, Woodstock, Mad Men, Fleetwood Mac, flares? How about rich dark wood, patterned wallpaper and simple yet bold shapes.

If you look at current interior trends, it’s undeniable that the vintage aesthetic is having something of a comeback. The functional wooden designs, clean curved lines and muted tones synonymous with mid-century design are everywhere to be seen. In fact, in a recent survey of 600 decorators, 26 per cent of respondents said they’d witnessed a resurgence of iconic mid-century design and interiors.

The instantly recognisable colours and prints found in the interiors of the 1960s and 1970s are having a surge in popularity, too. Combined, you get a wonderfully retro look – it’s enough to make you want to dig out your vinyls.

'The sixties and seventies were all about expressing yourself,' says Irish designer Orla Kiely, 'and where else is better to express yourself than the place you spend time in every day.'

Keep reading to discover Orla's top three tips for incorporating the trends of the sixties and seventies into a modern interior. Plus, meet our top picks for creating a vintage aesthetic in your home.

'When you think of the mid-century, you think of wood tones, bright colours and bold patterns. A fun way of adding pops of colour into your home is by choosing statement accessories,' says Orla. 'Bold cushions, interchangeable headboards and fabrics such as curtains can be interchanged to enable you to refresh your rooms quickly and easily.'

Orla says: 'Mid-century design celebrated all things natural, with floral patterns given a pop-art spin. I suggest using a large-scale pattern as a dominant shape, followed by using medium or smaller-scale patterns for accents. This creates the contrast that mid-century interiors are known for.'

'The 1960s and 70s introduced a whole new range of textures and man-made fabrics,' Orla explains. 'A 1970s home would be filled to the brim with tactile materials such as shag carpets and macramé. To create this effect in your bedroom, use complementary colours and patterns, changing up your bed linen, cushions and curtains or blinds to create a depth without your layers looking clashed or unorganised.'
