My mom has a ton of books taking up a wall in her house. I wanted to share with you some pictures from a 1965 interior design book called Decoration USA. I love how a lot of the design elements and furniture styles are still relevant today. At least we have steered away from saturating the entirety of a room with a singular bright color. I spared you those eye-burning pictures.

Yay! Large scale abstract art dominating a room!

I wish all the pictures were in color. They sure loved their woven rattan in the 60s. This photo was showcasing the fireplace pit. We still see those dining chairs used today.
good grief
Not a laptop in sight in any of the desk shots – kind of refreshing!
love these chairs!

I gotta say, I’m digging all the low furniture in these pictures! I’m the kind of chick who always sits on footstools or the floor, so these armless couch/bed things look great to me!
agreed! I am in love with most of the sofas and chairs… oh, and the shelving… and the art!
