You’d have to get rid of that telly Lyn - totally out of place ! The first photo looks almost like a painting for a puzzle. A challenge with all those florals. Viv.

It appears to be the mid 1960's, when fashions changed and gaudy colours were preferred.

Perhaps the National Trust should purchase it. Its as much a part of cultural history as the back to backs.

The last time I saw something similar was when I purchased some furniture online and went to collect it from the home of an elderly lady who had passed away and her son was clearing the house. That may not be the case here but if it is I think it’s quite sad that someone’s personal possessions should be put on show for the world to see after they’ve gone.

Yes, in a way. However we may dislike the decor, it was "home" to someone, and they decorated it as they saw fit. It worked for them, even if for no one else.
