Vintage Green Decor Trends from 1964

The June 1964 Bride and Home magazine suggests using bold greens in decor, leading to regrettable design choices for homeowners.

Say goodbye to sleek mid-century modern and hello to “What Were They Thinking?”.  Avocado, lime, kelly, and dark Victorian green are just a few of the greens used in this decorating article featured in the June 1964 issue of Bride and Home magazine. “Toss it like a salad” is the suggestion to decorators who will unfortunately take the advice and put up wild wallpaper, causing a nightmare for home owners decades later.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
