Hang posters of some of the disco era's biggest stars. Some of the most notable disco stars include John Travolta and Donna Summer, but you can also use posters of stars from television shows that were popular such as "Charlie's Angels." If available, use black light posters for a glowing yet nostalgic look.

Hang bell-bottom trousers on the walls. Bell-bottoms were a novel clothing fashion that began during the flower power movement of the late 60s, but had enough staying power to remain fashionable even through the disco era.

Hang strands of 70s beads from the doorways at the party. The length of the strands should be approximately the same as the height of the door. The colors of the beads should be gaudy. Color combinations such as brown and yellow or green and orange are ideal. 70s beads are not only reminiscent of the style of the disco era, they also help transform a room into an experience and atmosphere unto itself.
