The opulence of these homes from the 70s is almost gaudy but also beautiful at the same time.

I know! every time I see them I try to resist judgement and to come up with some song from those years instead, and I immediately like them.

Just indoctrinating myself for no good reason haha

Whose house was on the cover the September 1976 issue?

I wonder if this house still exists?

Whose house was on the cover the September 1976 issue?

It's the NY apartment of Yvon Dihé. At first glance, I would have thought Vreeland. See below.

So what genre would you think best fits this? lol

^ I honestly just plug some Funkadelic into any landscape and I'm sold in 2 seconds . Just think...

This horror.....




But you're blasting this..


It almost makes you sad that things got so 'plain' afterwards lol. You see less camp and more.. psychedelic.. 'journey' because.. the 70s.

Thank-you he was one of so many we lost in the 80s and 90s to A.I.D.S.

They are yet, at the same time they're all so different from today's AD, where every interior looks the same as the one before and the one after. LOL

I love interiors from that time. There is so much to look at. You always discover something new.

Great point! I agree...very maximalist with all the different elements, colors, textures, etc., but it works! Today's homes, although pretty, there's no character or real flare. Most of it kinda feels flat to me.

And don't get me started with all the coffee table books in these 'new' homes. I am 99.99% the owners have really no idea who the subject is nor have they ever looked inside them! LOL

Ok, I'm done.

The opulence of these homes from the 70s is almost gaudy but also beautiful at the same time.

It’s because the sensory-overload of textures/patterns/prints are visually stimulating and for fashion addicts especially, recall the carefully curated settings of the rarefied worlds of the likes of YSL/Chanel/Oscar de la Rental etc; it’s the brand of setting ideal for a fashion shoot, where the eye truly travels for a visual journey, like paintings from the Renaissance. But as a home, personal space, I’m absolutely creeped out. I need to see every unwanted particle, every unwanted spot and stain— whether that’s a resting spider or a bread crumb, in my living space so I can remove it (immediately), since I don’t have a maid service. Decors like these make it impossible to spot unwelcome pollution, and my paranoia with sitting on a spider/insect and its squashed body becoming one with the texture/patterns/prints of the space just creeps me out to the max.
