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?
More info: Instagram As Encyclopedia Britannica put it, while the need to have a pleasant environment isn’t new, interior design as a thing kind of is. The term “interior decoration” was used for the first time in 1904. Years later, in the 1930s, the similar term “interior designer” was coined by an “Interior Design and Decoration” magazine. Little by little, the concept of interior design and its profession developed. Nowadays, sources like Wikipedia describe interior design as the art and science of designing the interior of a building in a way that it becomes a safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using it.
As an example, let’s take the 1960s. As some of you might be aware, this decade saw the origins and spread of the hippie or counterculture movement. This movement rejected conventional customs and traditional authorities and advocated for peace, love, social justice, and revolution. The effects of it are still felt to this day. Besides sociopolitical, fashion, and lifestyle stuff, the movement’s political life influenced interior design too. The spirit of change was in the air. Apparently, hippie ideals created a desire for communal living spaces and challenged conventional home design ideas. So, pop art led to interiors having abstract and geometric patterns. It also had vibrant colors – for instance, orange, electric blue, and lime green paired with contrasting neutrals like white, gray, or black.
Speaking of ’60s interiors, there’s a whole Instagram page dedicated to them – @the_60s_interior. Granted, the name says its focus is the ’60s, but the bio adds that there are some images from the ’50s, ’70s, and ’80s. So, maybe we could say it’s a page of vintage interior photos.
Well, it’s no secret that people like peeking at interiors. After all, TV shows about them tend to be a guilty pleasure (or sometimes not even that guilty) for many. Clearly, as this account shows, not only TV shows about interiors are liked by the public, but images of them too. That’s where our list comes in – here you can find plenty of photos of vintage interiors, collected from the @the_60s_interior page. So, now it’s your chance to decide which of these images are the most captivating by upvoting them!
