Everyone always says they hate these 70s designs, but I frankly love them. They’re warm and earthy, they just feel comforting to me. Maybe it’s because the rural area I grew up in had tons of houses and places built like this.
Most 80s interior

It’s a mixed feeling for me. Definitely warm and comfy but also difficult to keep clean. I mean my grandparents somehow kept their home reasonably clean but on the other hand these brownish tones did a good job hiding the nicotine stains and the fabric everywhere could hide a lot of debris and dust.

If they still sold refrigerators in harvest gold, my wife would be working overtime on talking me into buying one.

I wish I had a picture of the one we made entirely from PBR cans for our White Trash Bash party.

No, they’re found in a kitchen. That’s a ship’s rudder.

Look at the huge color TV. What luxury.

Should have splurged on the Curtis-Mathes console. TV, Record Player, Casette, and 8-Track all in one.

This is certainly a 70s interior, but not the most 70s interior.
In the same way that the Mariana Trench remains mostly undiscovered, I don’t know that anyone will ever truly plumb the depths of 70s interior design, but I can offer this as a counterpoint.
Shag carpeted walls, even all the way onto the ceiling. Even Graceland has it (here’s the entrance to the Jungle Room) though these days they claim it was installed for “acoustic shielding” lol. No, it was the style, like conversation pits and unmatched plaids and avocado or harvest green appliances.
And carpeted walls weren’t in every house, but they weren’t uncommon in the US as far as I know. At one point in my misspent youth, I lived in a house that had a den lined with lime green shag not just on the floor, but up and across the entirety of the far wall, while the other walls had matching green palm frond wallpaper with a chrome/mirrored background. This wallpaper visually delivered the carpet wall to you on the ricochet: even if you weren’t looking at the carpet up the wall, you were looking at the carpet up the wall. It was, mercifully, a dimly lit room that did not get much light anyway.
My spouse remembers similar. It was a thing. There is a reason there are so few pictures of it left.

Omg, I didn’t realize this level of 70s was physically possibpe
Glemek@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We’re reaching levels of 70s that are, frankly, irresponsible.

Throw out the horrible carpet and this this place would look decent by modern standards.
