Fittingly, this [home decor collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-outfitters-x-chipotle) takes sandwich lovers back to the 70s with designs that take a page from the past and celebrate the sandwich and the ingredients that make it the timeless menu item that it is. Made with ham, Genoa and Cotto salami, tomato, lettuce, onion, three cheeses, olives and mustard, the sandwich's components are referenced throughout home decor designs like rugs, wallpaper, pod chairs and blankets. Ahead of the holiday season, gift-givers who know a fan of The Original will want to snap up products like the Nice to Meat You Mat or the Bun Bag before they disappear. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 18% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Decor Revival:** The Schlotzsky's Sandwich Studio Line taps into the nostalgia for 70s decor to create a revived retro aesthetic in home design. - **Food-inspired Home Collections:** The sandwich-themed home decor collection by Schlotzsky's showcases the growing trend of integrating food and culinary inspirations into interior design. - **Niche Menu Item Tributes:** Schlotzsky's pays homage to The Original sandwich through a limited edition decor line, reflecting a rising interest in celebrating specific menu items in creative ways. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The Schlotzsky's Sandwich Studio Line presents an opportunity for home decor companies to explore and capitalize on the demand for 70s-inspired retro designs. - **Food and Beverage:** The sandwich-inspired home decor collection by Schlotzsky's opens up possibilities for food and beverage brands to further extend their brand reach and engage with consumers through non-edible merchandise. - **Hospitality:** Hotels, cafes, and restaurants can consider incorporating sandwich-inspired decor elements to create a unique and memorable dining experience, leveraging the popularity of themed environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crisp-Textured Deli Menu Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-harvest-lineup.md) - [Retro Sandwich Diners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renzo-sandwich.md) - [Pesto-Centric Italian Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-pesto-trio.md) - [Plush Sandwich Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandwich-rug.md) - [Hot Sauce-Infused Sourdough Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sourdough-sandwiches.md) - [Customizable Sandwich Shop Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bag-to-the-future-menu.md) - [Celebratory Submarine Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blimpie-deluxe-subs.md) - [QSR Sandwich Shop Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-3.md) - [Cheese-Filled QSR Combos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlotzskys-mac-and-cheese.md)
