We all strive to have a cozy, comfortable, and stylish home. Our idea of what it should look like we gather from our environment – homes we visit, social media, or anywhere else – the options are endless.
One such place is the Instagram account called "The 60s Interior." As the name suggests, it shares photos of interiors that were popular during the 1960s, but here's a twist – it also contains pics from other decades. We created a list of these images for you to get inspired by or simply enjoy. So, how about we get into them?

A Lived-In, Plant-Filled Kitchen From The 1970s
I've learned that kitchens in the 70''s were much smaller than they are now. The focus was more on conversation pits and large living rooms where people could gather while the host(ess) conveyed edibles from the kitchen. Since then, the kitchen has evolved into a gathering place in it's own right. Thus, doing away with some other amenities.

Would’ve been nice to have dates on these. I’m old enough to remember decorating trends from then, plus clothes and cars do help put an approximate time period to them, but some people’s homes STILL look like some of these. Also, some designs just stuck a lot longer than you’d expect, usually because the people who bought the house from the people who decorated it couldn’t afford to renovate right away, so made do until they could—-and if it was a rental property (my particular experience), it stayed because the landlord was a cheapskate. So, if they’re pictures from magazines—-I noticed IKEA on one of them, and some of the rest look like Architectural Digest or some other periodical—-the publication date would help pinpoint them.
Late 70's / early 80's is magical to me, because I was little, then. Also, IDK what amuses me more, the designs or all the comments by young people concerned with safety.
