Lime green, fuchsia, turquoise, purple, avocado green -- people were not afraid of colour in the '70s. Texture was also important (just check those carpets, and we loved a good shag pile rug). Architects and designer names of this era included Marion Hall Best, Leslie Walford, Nola Charles, Barry Little, Babette Hayes, Bryce Mortlock, Ken Woolley, Philip Cox, Michael Dysart, Glenn Murcutt. THE EIGHTIES: 1978-1987 Moving into everyone's favourite decade to forget, townhouses rose in popularity. Stucco and rendered exteriors flooded in, as well as designer kitchens. The garden became more important, and bi-fold doors were in fashion. An extension of this was the popularity of green living, such as solar panels and recycling, and energy-efficient housing. Other design notes include Plantation-style louvres, and the rise of Neoclassicism: pillars, glass bricks and curves. The colours of the '80s were defined by pink, peach, apricot, celadon and teal teamed with grey and white. But don't forget your “Hot-Shot” brights – including pink, yellow and aquainspired Ken Done. Sophisticated moody hues, such as night sky and storm, with red highlights were also big. On the softer side, romantic punchy pastels like rose, hyacinth, and primrose were popular. Natural Australian hues including bottlebrush, banksia, wild honey, sandstone and ghost gum were a stylish choice. There were also lots of Provence sunflower yellows, cornflower blues with timbers, nautical blues and whites and primaries as accent colours.
Architects, designers and other big names: Barry Little, Pia Francesca, Ruth Levine, Ann Gyngell, Tibor Hubay, Leslie Walford, Warren Head, George Freedman, Neville Marsh, Clive Lucas, Ray Siede, Allen Jack & Cottier, Guilford Bell, David Hicks (UK), Tricia Guild, Laura Ashley Retailers tapping into the passion for design also started to rise. They included Artes Studio, Arredorama, De De Ce, Design Warehouse, Designer Rugs and Robyn Cosgrove. THE NINETIES: 1988-1997 Moving out of the '80s to the '90s, which, to be fair, was still pretty '80s, it was all about Industrial cool: warehouse conversions and minimalism (with lots of white and grey) were all the rage. Around this time, there was a revival of classic designer furnishings triggering knock offs. Retro '50s and '60s style is back with block contrasting colour, just fresher. Another design influence was Post-modernism, or the ornamentation on clean shapes. But there was also a Memphis influence, with New Country gaining traction. The corrugated-iron bark look was big, people. Smart homes made their debut (can you believe it?). Green houses, including recycling and energy efficiency are front of mind. In terms of the palettes, “Watercolour” hues were in, including (clean but not too vibrant) blues, geranium pinks, buttery yellows, greens -- and they weren't afraid to use all of these in juxtaposition.
