Description

On this week’s episode of I AM HOME, hosts Tyler and Hilary take listeners on a journey through home design’s most iconic decades—the bold 50s, the eclectic 70s, and the laid-back 90s. From atomic pastels to earthy textures to DIY-friendly charm, the team unpacks how these vintage styles shaped American interiors and why they continue to influence today’s trends.

Hilary shares how these design eras are making a comeback, from mid-century silhouettes and sputnik lighting to shag rugs and gingham prints. Whether you love retro flair or just want to understand why avocado green is back, this episode shows how the past keeps inspiring the present.

Tune in for design history, trend insights, and a whole lot of style flashbacks.
