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 and across the ceiling.

Even Graceland has it, though these days they claim it was installed for "acoustic shielding" lol. This is the entrance to the Jungle Room at Graceland:

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

[–] tdgoodman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Look at the huge color TV. What luxury.

[–] weimaraner_of_doom@piefed.social 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

We had a zenith like that.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] weimaraner_of_doom@piefed.social 5 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I was gonna say, swap out that carpeting with something a little less sensory-overload, maybe change the wallpaper, but I'm down. The colors are fine. Like you said, earthy.

[–] Micans@reddthat.com 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That is just wood veneer and a giant stone wall/fireplace. Maybe it could be refinished with a lighter stain?

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 1 points 16 hours ago

Ohhh okay I thought it was some tacky lookin wallpaper.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Jimbo@pawb.social 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mmm, old cigarettes and dust

[–] db2@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

And whiskey.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I can see the mint green appliances and linoleum floor in the kitchen from here.

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.ca 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I want colourful appliances again, linoleum is a still a no go for me

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

Check out Drew Barrymore's appliance line.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That chandelier is spectacular.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You just don't get this level of chandeliers these days

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That ceiling better be popcorn asbestos.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

Wouldn't be a 70s interior wothout it

[–] jade52@lemmy.ca 6 points 23 hours ago

Would honestly love if my home looked like this

[–] bearoftheisle@europe.pub 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Truly Austin Powers levels of groove

[–] homes@piefed.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now you know where that “floor is lava“ game came from

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It looks lile a really bad texture in an early computer game

[–] ol_capt_joe@piefed.ee 1 points 22 hours ago

It looks like Gollum's last moment with the ring

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

That is a chandelier I would get the ricketiest stepstool to change a lightbulb for.

[–] slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 22 hours ago

everything apart from the carpet, the desk, the tv and the little desk for the tv is actually kind if nice.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] koella@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

The floor is literally lava?

God I need this. Why did we think it could be better than brown

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Where's the Grooving Pit?

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I kept looking for someone hiding in the carpet like it's meccha chameleon.. ugh

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Looks like "The Shining'
