It was a reaction to the artificial colors that got popular in the 60s.

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.My new home was built in the 50s and the biggest take away was "whoa, all the rooms are separate!" It's glorious.

Apparently Cutty Sark is a whiskey, which presumably is what you meant, but the first DDG result is a British naval ship which ... Also kinda makes sense?
Many liquor brands have a sailor/pirate theme. I never saw the appeal personally, but I guess it just plays off the stale "sailors drink a lot, amirite?" meme.

other then the carpet I like it
Yeah, the upholstery is just too 'matched' with the walls. I would imagine if it was a light colored tile, and the couch was a solid color, it would almost seem like a modernish house.

I like dark wood but it does make rooms looks smaller if it is all dark colours
I always love the picture showing the different ways to contrast walls/ceiling/floor colors to push different feelings. Found it, or at least something similar to what I remember.

Why? It muffles sound and is much nicer to walk across. Extra layer of insulation on the floor too.
Because no matter how much you clean it, it is intensely more disgusting than tile/faux-wood/wood floors ever will be.

It's...so....drab
And still more than we'll ever achieve

I visited Konopiste castle in the Czech Republic that had a moat with a bear living in it. Inside, most of the place was covered in beautiful walnut. Hand carved patterning, and filigree. It was actually beautiful. And the ceilings were like 20 feet tall. A bunch of animal busts, linens, and furs. They even had the real white and blue fine China that Boomers are so obsessed with.
I remember thinking as I walked through there: "Wow, this is what it's supposed to look like"
Did the bear still live in the moat or was the bear only in the moat historically. Regardless I am disappointed that there are no pictures of the moat.

That first step is a doozy.

Its the floor. You walk on it, not eat your dinner off it.

But not the married people?
If they liked it they should have put a (smoke) ring on it.

Bear was sleeping, it was at night. Only pic I have is this, it was not very impressive but it smelled like a bear lived there.

Thank you I am now contented. Also bears are fucking great I don't care if it was asleep or not.

Then we flipped the script in the 80s, continued in the 90s. Then The Matrix came out and we reinvented black and white clothes, went froggy again.

This was an attempt to emulate the rich, wood-paneled, dark, rich luxury of old money.
Reading Vonnegut's Dead Eye Dick and the top photo is how I pictured his dad's attic.

Never thought of that! I'm on my PC in the living room, wife is eating behind me at the kitchen table, which surprisingly enough, is in the kitchen. House dob: 2018 Total walls: 4
In the home I grew up in (dob: 1956), those were three separate rooms.

Very classy back in the day, très chic.

Also: Spiders. Spider god damned everywhere.
I'm fine with that. Made it a point over the last 30 years to get used to looking at them. I let 'em run the house. Figure if there's enough food for a predator, best let them work for me.
Funny note: My Filipino wife is disappointed we don't have house lizards. Aside from their obvious use, apparently they're lucky.
