1960s decor

Hey kiddo, do you know what the 1960s were? It was a time when people were exploring new ideas and trying new things. One of the things that changed during the 1960s was the way people decorated their homes.

Do you remember what your grandma's house looks like? With her vintage or old-fashioned things - That was how houses looked like in the past. But during the '60s, people started to make their homes more colorful and exciting. They used bright colors like orange, yellow, blue, and green to make their homes look bold and fun. These colors were often mixed together to make interesting patterns.

People also started to use new materials in their homes, such as plastic and polyester. They used these things to create furniture that was shaped like something out of a spaceship. Think of how a flying saucer looks like. That's how some chairs looked like at the time.

Another thing that people started doing was putting up psychedelic designs in their homes. These were bright colors and trippy patterns that made you feel like you were in another world. Some people even painted entire rooms with these designs.

So, that's it. The 1960s was a time when people decorated their homes with bold colors, new materials, and interesting patterns. It was a time of exploration and trying new things.
