This is certainly a 70s interior, but not the most 70s interior.
In the same way that the Mariana Trench remains mostly undiscovered, I don’t know that anyone will ever truly plumb the depths of 70s interior design, but I can offer this as a counterpoint.
Shag carpeted walls, even all the way onto and across the ceiling.
Even Graceland has it, though these days they claim it was installed for “acoustic shielding” lol. This is the entrance to the Jungle Room at Graceland:
No, it was the style, like conversation pits and unmatched plaids and avocado or harvest green appliances.
And carpeted walls weren’t in every house, but they weren’t uncommon in the US as far as I know. At one point in my misspent youth, I lived in a house that had a den lined with lime green shag not just on the floor, but up and across the entirety of the far wall, while the other walls had matching green palm frond wallpaper with a chrome/mirrored background. This wallpaper visually delivered the carpet wall to you on the ricochet: even if you weren’t looking at the carpet up the wall, you were looking at the carpet up the wall. It was, mercifully, a dimly lit room that did not get much light anyway.
My spouse remembers similar. It was a thing. There is a reason there are so few pictures of it left.
Omg, I didn’t realize this level of 70s was physically possibpe
I can see the mint green appliances and linoleum floor in the kitchen from here.
I want colourful appliances again, linoleum is a still a no go for me
Check out Drew Barrymore’s appliance line.

They’re all black and white on the main page but click through to an item and you’ll see the color options.
I know it’s not full on dishwasher/stove/fridge appliances but they’re still pretty.
Look at the huge color TV. What luxury.
Should have splurged on the Curtis-Mathes console. TV, Record Player, Casette, and 8-Track all in one.
We had a zenith like that.

That ceiling better be popcorn asbestos.
Wouldn’t be a 70s interior wothout it
I can smell this room.
Mmm, old cigarettes and dust
And whiskey.
Truly Austin Powers levels of groove
Well put
Would that make this groovecore or groovegore?
Everyone always says they hate these 70s designs, but I frankly love them. They’re warm and earthy, they just feel comforting to me. Maybe it’s because the rural area I grew up in had tons of houses and places built like this.
If they still sold refrigerators in harvest gold, my wife would be working overtime on talking me into buying one.
It’s a mixed feeling for me. Definitely warm and comfy but also difficult to keep clean. I mean my grandparents somehow kept their home reasonably clean but on the other hand these brownish tones did a good job hiding the nicotine stains and the fabric everywhere could hide a lot of debris and dust.
Yeah I was gonna say, swap out that carpeting with something a little less sensory-overload, maybe change the wallpaper, but I’m down. The colors are fine. Like you said, earthy.
That is just wood veneer and a giant stone wall/fireplace. Maybe it could be refinished with a lighter stain?
Ohhh okay I thought it was some tacky lookin wallpaper.
Mmm pizza
Would honestly love if my home looked like this
That chandelier is spectacular.
You just don’t get this level of chandeliers these days
I wish I had a picture of the one we made entirely from PBR cans for our White Trash Bash party.
No, they’re found in a kitchen. That’s a ship’s rudder.
That is a chandelier I would get the ricketiest stepstool to change a lightbulb for.
everything apart from the carpet, the desk, the tv and the little desk for the tv is actually kind if nice.
Now you know where that “floor is lava“ game came from
It looks lile a really bad texture in an early computer game
It looks like Gollum’s last moment with the ring
God I need this. Why did we think it could be better than brown
Mmmm pizza
