Just finished watching "The Shinning" 1970's horror movie set in an expensive resort....the carpet!....the curtains, the furniture YUCK! Orange and Lime green carpets and bathrooms WERE NEVER ATTRACTIVE!!! I was born in 1972 so anyone alive at the time please explain your bad taste! Ant theories? The world was supposed to end in 1975 so maybe nobody cared!
Furniture/carpet/colors - What is wrong with people who lived in the 1970's?

Lotsa drugs man. They needed the colors in the real world to match those in the drugged state

Just like in any era, colors are dictated by designers more than the general population. So if they deemed a color was in or popular or chic, the gen pop would go along.

I agree with Lady Lee, although that doesn't explain the soundtrack. Disco was worse than the color scheme.

Sorry, seafoam green leisure suits with contrasting topstitching were the worst! Especially if worn by a bald guy with a comb-over!

I hear ya.....those colour schemes were absolutely attrocious!
Has anyone here been the Grantville, PA Assembly Hall? Man, that place in the 1970's-1980's was pure hell! The orange/green/red swirly pattern carpet is forever burned into my mind! The seats were also orange to match!! Uggh, it was horrible, and the new redesign they did isn't all that better, but still hurts my eyes to a degree.
Sigh...I remember when they actually served FOOD there! I actually kind of miss that....the smells as lunchtime approached!
Messed up!!

bathrooms WERE NEVER ATTRACTIVE!!!
Bathrooms were not show rooms back then. They were for going toidy!
Watch "The 70's Show" , it really captures non-witness life back then.
