You have traveled back to 1973, where the interior design philosophy was apparently "if it doesn't look like a sunset on Venus, you aren't doing it right." Evans is selling us the dream of lightweight plywood, perfect for those who want their living room to feel like the inside of a giant pumpkin. Look at that wall-mounted fireplace, it’s less of a heating element and more of a "space-age soot dispenser." The couple in the living room is clearly discussing how many more shades of "Harvest Gold" and "Burnt Sienna" they can fit into a single square foot before the room achieves sentient consciousness. It’s vibrant, it’s wood-grained, and it’s definitely "polyclad" to ensure those 70s vibes never, ever fade.

Mrs Carl Meyer and her Children
Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, 1856–1925)
Date: 1896
Medium: Oil paint on canvas
Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom
Description
This is a portrait of Adèle Meyer (née Levis) with her daughter Elsie Charlotte and son Frank Cecil. Her husband, a banker, was foreign emissary of the Rothschilds and chairman of De Beers. The theatrical composition of the painting, with its plunging perspective, perhaps reflects Mrs Meyer’s own passion for theatre and opera. By using studio props, including the wood paneling and Louis XV sofa, Sargent created an image of opulence and unapologetic wealth reflecting the status of Adèle Meyer in society.
A bohemian bedroom filled with rich colors.
