Some of this was way over the top even in the 70’s, my friends and I were teens, these were some of our parents homes. I still have a couple of the afghans my mom knitted.
We had wood paneling and shag carpet. 👍🏻 Great memories.
Grandma made each grandchild an afghan and all the girls got ponchos.
I have a 1970’s Home that I bought in 1999 and still have and many phone solicitors call me asking me to sell it and I say hell no….
Welcome to the 1970s! Time to have that perfect little suburban family! Su-barbie-a.
My eyes are bleeding…
Thank God, I have none of that chit in my house … still, my house is stuck in the 1960s … which wasn’t that much better. 😜
Linoleum was introduced in 1870. What you are calling linoleum is actually vinyl flooring. and is less durable than linoleum.
Quality ! Great images. Thank you.
The 1970s – the decade that style forgot.
My grandparents in the 1970s had an avocado Frigidaire refrigerator. It was cool.
Just as now people find an old antique oak ..mahogany..piece of furniture say oh how nice…and paint it…months later curb alert
Linoleum – Invented in the late 19th century, not the 1970’s. In use in kitchens since at least the 30’s, maybe the 20’s.
I remember those ugly avocado green and harvest gold appliances. House plants were big in the 70s too. Anyone remember macrame?
At least someone had the good taste (and money) to have the Barcelona Chair. Around here the TVs always held the kids’ senior pictures on top.
Those AI generated thumb nails give me the creeps…
I was a young married woman in the 70s. I remember natural fabrics, a sense of fun, of liberation – and lots of colour. Today’s interiors seems very sterile and restrained to me.
Actual linoleum dates to much earlier in the 20th Century, however vinyl flooring is more representative of the later half of the 20th Century.
I was born in 1967 and my parents bought a new home in 1974. I remember shag carpets, hanging beads hanging between rooms and paneling
Linoleum was around long before the 1970’s.
What they’re calling linoleum was actually vinyl flooring. Linoleum has been around since the 1860’s. The two most popular colors of the 1970’s were Harvest Gold and Avocado Green. Our first home was done up in Harvest Gold. Bathtub, sinks, toilet, formica counters and of course shag carpet.
Don’t forget the ceramic mushroom cannister set.
Fast forward to 2023 where everything is white and gray. Wood anything? Paint it white.
I remember the sofas were so soft that when you sat down, you were suddenly at eye-level with your knees 😂😂😂. At the end of the 70s, we had a sofa that was made of foam. It looked to me like a giant liquorice all sort. The seat was brown and the arms and back was made of two ‘L’ shaped orange and brown striped detachable pieces that were velcro-fastened to the seat. It was fine when it was against the wall, but some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to pull it forward a bit nearer the middle of the living room. I came in, after a pint or three and slumped down on it and the Velcro arm ripped off and had me on my back behind the couch 😂😂😂😂. Then there was the plasma lamps. After a pint or two too many, you needed things to be as static as possible. Those jelly like lumps braking off each other, suspended in greenish yellow liquid was too much like my bilious stomach contents 😂😂😂😂. Ah, those were the days!
We had the gold yellow appliances and paneling everywhere. It never was updated from that. The hall was so dark. My parents lived there for about 50 years.
3:04 We had exactly the same macramé owl, ours was made out of burlap twine, though! And it was in the 80’s. LOL!
wood chip pinecone popuri.
Some major extremes going on here. If I had walked into any of those loud floral living rooms back in the 70s, I would have freaked out man!
Wood paneled walls and linoleum were 1950s things. Not 70s things.
Ahhh the 70s! Love this – So many memories! We had light blue shag carpet that we "raked" after vacuuming 😅
God-awful.
I still have paneling in my living room, dining and hall but I painted it. It’s much nicer than the brown
Personality, colorful, cozy
One thing I also remember about the 1970s: waterbeds.
Growing up late 60s 70s in the den had a green sofa, burnt orange carpeting an Afghan on the sofa and wood paneling. The rest of the house was carpeted dark green. Kitchen floor Harvest Gold linoleum. The bathroom was from the 1950s! My mother went crazy knitting afghans!
doesn’t look like anything I lived with.
5:15 That flat-screen TV is a couple decades out of time. Must have fallen through a black hole, or something… 🤔
I loved everything about 70s style. This video brings back wonderful memories.
The Dick van Dyke show didn’t have a sunken living room. He tripped over an ottoman.
Ahhhhh….the early American maple furniture that I grew up with…….may it NEVER return……
I grew up in the 60s and the 70s… never saw a sunken living room in anybody’s house LOL… hmmmm
1:37 That is just plain ridiculous.
You have a kind, peaceful, and positive attitude towards 1970s taste. Unlike other people I know who were teenagers in the 1970s who are today resolute in denying that the 1970s ever happened.
I personally think the bright colors and busy patterns are so ugly.
I still like the look of a sunken living room.
I don’t remember there being a sunken living room on the Dick Van Dyke show…?
Wood paneling gets a lot of hate in social media. It’s good to hear the point being made that the bad stuff wasn’t really wood! There is something to be said for real wood on the walls, on the floor or in the furniture.
The whole of the interior world was orange with some brown.
I liked the wood panelling. It was combining it with orange and brown that made it dark. 😬
I want a revival! After the blah of the past 90’s and 2000’s,we learned now that the 70’s were the best.
