About Nostalgia & Eras
Step through the front door of a 1970s home and the senses fill at once: the deep pile of a burnt-orange shag carpet underfoot, the warm amber glow of a lava lamp on the sideboard, and walls lined in dark teak panelling that made even a small room feel like a den. The kitchen announced itself in avocado or harvest gold — the appliances, the tiles, even the fondue set waiting on the Formica worktop. Macramé wall hangings, wicker chairs, and a bold paisley wallpaper completed a look that was confident, cosy, and entirely its own.
