Decor Trends From The Year You Were Born

From mirrored and metallic finishes and wallpapers to curved walls and glass bricks accents to the overkill of florals and ruffles, wood paneling galore, shag carpets with shag rugs with shag bathrooms, round showers, Avocado Green and Yellow Harvest kitchens, the very multiple mixes of patterns…the list is endless.
