There are too many brilliant photos for me to scan from Bright Ideas For The Home by Per Dalsgaard and Elisabeth Erichsen (1978), so I’ve restricted myself to six of my favourites.

Vac-formed arses? Coupled with those suspiciously shaped side lamps? Yikes...
I particularly love the way the heads in the background are looking at each other disapprovingly...

Superbe…Gros bisous
Have a few books along these lines.The original version of the Terence Conran House Book (or possibly the Bedrooms & Bathrooms volume) has a spectacular bachelor pad home ents room. Worth looking for.
love the huge round pouffe and the mural. I would love to have murals.
I love the girls…Maybe I should do that at my store..oh and yes I agree with you about red butt decor room. oh i would love to have a huge bean bag room
One of my favorites!
Fabulous! Loving the patchwork seat and the mural the most and wondering if I have a free wall to copy! x
We have a 1970s brown corderoy 'lounger'- not as OTT as that adult playpen but we love it!The bed-bums are horrific, though. I never thought I'd say that aboyt the 70s home (one of my fave eras) but really. Bed bums and phallic lamps. No.
I currently can’t shut up about corner sofas. They were the height of sophistication, as far as I was concerned, as a child and they remain so. I wouldn’t say no to the plushy playpen either though…
Wowwww love these images! Especially the three ladies painted on the wall. I always forget about interior design in the 70s, i think it just normally gives me too many flashbacks to my grandaprents hideous brown orange and yellow house in the early nineties which apparently had been the "height of fashion" when they moved into their house in 1974!
I think it’s the memory of my parents’ hangover Seventies decor, despite having an Eighties childhood, which makes me nostalgic for it as an adult. Hangover from their being married in 1971 and hangover from the house we moved into having been decorated in the Seventies. The Eighties barely broke into my home…
My mom had this book and I studied it! I would love to add it to my collection. It includes instructions on how to make all kinds of crazy furntiture out of wood, foam, and fabric. Very awesome.
