Synopsis

Seventiestyle is a fascinating and colourful guide to all
aspects of decoration and design in the 1970s home. Packed with full colour
illustrations and photographs, the book shows the choices available to
consumers during this period.

David Heathcote has drawn on MoDA's extensive collection of retail and
trade catalogues, domestic magazines and household manuals to produce a
vibrant and beautifully illustrated guide to the 1970s interior.

No other guide is as comprehensive in its coverage of the features of a
home. Detailed sections include bathrooms and kitchens; fixtures and
fittings; furniture; wallpapers and paints; carpets, furnishing fabrics;
lighting; fireplaces and heating; and finishing touches. Each area is
covered in comprehensive detail in a way that is highly informative while
at the same time hugely enjoyable to read.

Other books in the series include Sixtiestyle, Fiftiestyle, Thirtiestyle
and Turn of the Century Style.
