why is it harder to clean than any current material?
Soap and water and a brush, that’s it.
Is this one of those things where sarcasm doesn't carry over the Internet, or...?

Design and style changes throughout the decades. The style now is basically to keep a blank slate for eventually re-sale. That's why everything is beige and white. If you alter your colors or style too much, then you'll be reverting back to beige/white when you go to sell.
So sure, throw in that shag carpet, brown walls, and wood paneling. But lose about 50k-100k value on your home.

Yes! This is vital context -- in every photo taken by/with my grandparents, every single person was smoking.
But not the married people?

I remember looking at estate agent photos of my parents home when they first bought it back in the 1980s. It looked very much like this. I remember when I was very young they had a carpet with a similar sort of dead plant motif, I remember crawling along and following the plant stems.
That's just how everybody seemed to decorate things back then, people used to wear a lot of brown as well. Perhaps we all depressed or something

When I moved into my house it had a concrete coloured lino floor in the kitchen, you could never tell if that thing was clean or not. Is that bit of brown part of the design, or is it a crushed bran flake? So you'd get the Hoover out and it would turn out to be part of the bloody design.

elimination of wood, cotton, and wool as materials and fast fashion/plastic fashion means that classical fabric (or finish, or furniture) looks have been forced out, so that race-to-the-bottom Chinese goods can replace them.
now you buy a $1900 couch made of cardboard and foam. And every wall is “agreeable gray”.
This is also a response to the 1950s:
And 1960s:
That 60s one looks awesome

Idk, this has more personality to it than the beige nightmare a lot of folks live in. Even if that personality smells like stale cigarettes and Cutty Sark.
Also: Spiders. Spider god damned everywhere.

These colors and the vibe felt the best. I was too poor in one way or the other to have this. I’d love to have this now.
What's the other way to be poor?

I like dark wood but it does make rooms looks smaller if it is all dark colours

Cozy as all hell though. Better than the drab gray cookie-cutter-prison aesthetic for sure.
Bring back carpet, earth tones, and separated rooms please
I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.I’m good with bringing back all of it. Except carpet. Carpet needs stay away.

What a wonderful way to describe that. All you've done is make it even more appealing.

I have lived with that carpet. It was horrible and thin.

You got a remember, back then smoking inside was a normal thing to do. There is a color pallet that nicotine stains just sink into without notice. This picture is a prime example of said color pallet.

I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.It just needs a white sparingly patterned rug under the couch for contrast

I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.Having one room like this is enough tbh. I love my concrete walls and ceramic tile.
