Nothing say’s the 60’s like plastic-covered furniture in a warm gold hue!
Sure, it was the 60’s but come on, home decor trends went from the swank of the 50’s, straight to hell with the popularity of the plastic slipcover. As much fun as it is to celebrate the era of free love and counterculture, plastic covered furniture is one fad that came out of the 60’s that is best forgotten.
The logic was you’d maximize the life of your furniture and still be able to see the fabric by covering it with clear plastic slipcovers. So you have this soft, aesthetically pleasing couch but pure neurosis prevents anyone from ever actually feeling feel the fabric.
Instead, it would crunch, cause the sweats, and often stick to your legs. This was totally normal in the 60’s yet is still a sure sign of neuroticism.
