Rebellious 1960s The popular television series Mad Men does a fantastic job in recreating stylish 1960s interiors. Features of this Period: Popular colours: Decorate with avocado green, copper, orange or mustard yellow paired with beige. Wallpaper: Wallpaper became very popular during this period, especially flocked wallpapers. There are many 1960s reproductions of patterns such as paisley or florals for sale today. Classic furniture: Look for moulded plastic and pod-shaped chairs, as well as streamlined, wooden Danish furniture including desks, coffee tables and storage cabinets. Other accessories: Finish the look with Andy Warhol inspired pop art and, of course, a shag rug. If you really want to go 60s retro, you’ll need a lava lamp and oversize beanbag chair. 68 THE ESSENTIAL COSTA DEL SOL WEBSITE - www.simplymedia-group.com
