Stately homes, holiday houses and a pea-green carpet: the October 1970 House & Garden records the taste of its moment with no hindsight. Read today, it is a precise document of how interiors looked, and how they were meant to look, at the turn of the decade.
This is the October 1970 issue of House & Garden, promoted as the Decorating Issue of the Year. Published by Condé Nast and running to 171 pages, it was presented as a bumper issue devoted to real homes.
A document of taste at the turn of the decade.
The issue features two stately homes and three holiday houses, showing real interiors rather than studio sets. Together they give a broad view of domestic style in 1970, from formal rooms to relaxed holiday settings.
One of the issue's features is devoted to pea-green carpet, a colour closely associated with 1970s interiors. It shows how quickly the palette of the new decade was taking shape in homes of the period.
Interior magazines from the early 1970s are collected as references for the design of the period. Issues from 1970, marking the transition from the 1960s, are valued by designers, collectors and anyone interested in the history of the home.
The colours and forms of 1970s interiors are a strong reference in contemporary design, adding interest in original magazines.
Monthly magazines were rarely kept, so issues from 1970 in good condition are less common.
Vintage interior magazines are used by designers and stylists as primary sources for colour, materials and layout.
