Demi Moore’s Childhood Home is a Masterclass in ’70s Trends
As shopping for retro and vintage furniture grows increasingly popular, pieces from the seventies have become a hot commodity. From Tiffany-style lamps to rattan accessories to dark wood furnishings, signatures of the Me Decade are showing up in all the chicest homes. Demi Moore’s childhood dining room featured all of them.
During a 1977 photoshoot about the life of a typical Los Angeles teenager, the photographer Michael Montfort captured a 15-year-old Moore enjoying dinner at her mother’s home in Fairfax, California.

Notably, what ties the entire look together is mixing a connection to the natural world with more modern materials. For instance, Demi’s living room featured both a wooden table and a glass ceiling light. We expect to see a similar approach to mixing and matching materials in 2026 that takes on ’70s style.
Josh Branigan, Furniture and Home Interiors Expert at Cuckooland, explains: ‘Nature continues to inspire interiors.
Designers are increasingly drawn to mixing materials, such as stone with timber, linen with leather, and metal alongside rattan, to reflect the layered beauty of the natural world. These combinations bring depth and invite touch, while small imperfections keep spaces feeling lived-in rather than overly polished.’

Stoneware Dinner Plate With Raised Border
Nothing makes a dark dining table stand out like cream plates, and these ones add some flair with their intriguing shape and detailed style. You’ll want to use them for all of your dinner parties.
Tyna Rattan Placemats, set of 4
Demi’s family eats on woven placemats, and these give them a fresh 2025 update. You can also get the matching Tyna rattan coasters to complete the set.
This stylish tiffany lamp is a beautiful celebration of the classic look. It would look perfect on a console table behind a living room sofa.
This intricately woven chair reminds us exactly why wicker will never lose its appeal. The boho-style woven chair features a flared back that is said to turn a forgotten corner ‘into a showcase,’ and is one of the most stylish silhouettes of the 1970s.
The legs and frames are solid eucalyptus, kiln-dried for extra durability. The bevelled edge is super streamlined and really showcases the walnut veneer tabletop.
Venetian Glass Wall Mirror
Etched glass was all the rage in the 1970s, and it’s easy to see why. This intricate and luxurious mirror would be a beautiful addition to a dining room.
Whether its the look of a ’70s kitchen or dining room you’re trying to access, harnessing the beauty of this decade comes down to artful pairings, as seen in Demi Moore’s childhood home.
Josh advises: ‘Incorporate natural elements with a dining room with a wooden dining table top set on a sculpted metal base, a living room that pairs marble with wool, or a bedroom with woven cane accents. The charm is in the balance; a sense of luxury that still feels honest and grounded.’
As looks from other decades circle back into fashion, there’s nowhere better for inspiration than the time itself. Combining the ideas with newer pieces makes the magic really happen.
