It was the decade of "mix and match", individualism was the most important aspect, and youth culture seemed to reinvent itself year after year. In the 1980s, there was no unified style direction. Rich colours like orange, green, brown, yellow, and white were the order of the day. Baroque and Art Deco elements were combined to create breathtaking designs. Wallpaper designs remained colourful, whilst patterns became large-scale, often geometric, and daring. Even though the hippie movement was slowly coming to an end in the US, across Europe the sense of rebellion amongst young people continued. The 1970s were characterised by the new Flower Power era. But damask patterns in bright colours and adapted to the zeitgeist also enjoyed a huge comeback in the 1960s. Even the most garish shades were now acceptable. The hippie movement also developed a specific literary and idiomatic language, as demonstrated in movies like "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles. In wallpaper design, this was reflected in psychedelic graphic patterns inspired by Op Art. Textile and wallpaper design went through a period of boundless imagination and creativity.
This new futurism signalled departure and change. In terms of colours, pastels were de rigeur, but grey, black, and white, as well as shades of orange and warm reds, were also popular choices.
The new home would not be complete without stylish wallpapers sporting graphic and organic elements, for instance abstract and stylised floral motifs. The 1950s saw the beginning of the new post-war construction boom. In terms of wallpapers, "Vintage" means that they were produced between the 1930s and the 1980s.
The English term "Vintage" describes premium-quality objects which were produced during the actual times they represent.
