Décor Accessories
Popular design elements were Siamese cats, mushrooms, roosters, daisies and owls. Copper and other metals were very popular.
Pop art inspired by comic books and popular culture (think Andy Warhol and his “Campbell’s Soup” painting) were great for kitchens, living rooms and family rooms. Modern art with geometric shapes and vibrant colors decorated homes, as well as psychedelic prints and op art. This look was referred to as “Mod”.
Posters became an accepted, inexpensive way to decorate, and lighting was exciting with lava lamps and fiber optics.
The hippie look created a contrast to the modern techno look, with more muted colors and ethnic patterns. Hanging beads and leather fringe added to the hippie style.
