30 Vintage Design Pictures From The ’70s And ’80s That Make Today Look Very Boring
I don’t know when we all agreed everything should be beige, but clearly nobody ran it by the ’70s and ’80s. Back then, every room felt like a bold personal statement, even if that statement was “yes, the couch should be the brightest thing in the house.”
These vintage design pics are a reminder that subtlety used to take a backseat to vibes and I kind of respect it.
