The 1970s was a decade of questionable style choices, particularly when it came to home décor. Homes in the groovy ‘70s were a cacophony of shag carpet, harvest gold, and odd architectural features. I’m looking at you, split-level houses! Spend some time scrolling through Zillow and marvel at the retro ‘70s homes on the market that have never been remodeled. It’s like stepping back in time. While there is some appeal to vintage ‘70s fashion, art, and music, many of the outdated home trends of the era aren’t likely to retrend anytime soon.
#1: Carpeted Kitchens
Whoever thought putting carpeting in kitchens was a good idea either never had kids or never prepared a meal at home! True, most of the kitchen carpets of the 1970s had low, tightly woven fibers, like Berber, but you could find thick shag in kitchens, too. The remains of every glass of spilled milk lived on in the carpet fibers and padding forever.
