40 Vintage Photos Show What Living Rooms Looked Like in the 1960s

   

The “Retro Modern” style is associated with the decades of the 1950s and 1960s. As a furniture material, polypropylene, which was manufactured in colors that could be matched to paint chips, came into its own.

Foam molding, mostly used as upholstery cushions, became a basic structural unit for furniture in the early 1960s. Large areas, such as sofas, beds, carpets, drapes and wallcovers, were covered in vibrant colors and patterns. Employing “psychedelic intensity”, the colors and styles were influenced by India, Spain, and the Mediterranean.
 
Synthetic materials such as acrylic, plastic, and chrome were all materials that heavily factor into 1960s furniture designs.
 
Here below is a vintage photo collection that shows what living rooms looked like in the 1960s.
