When was any part of this house ever in fashion?

Need a garage. Use the lounge
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-66149624.html I don't think an investor would want this long term tenant

That garage seems to me a good idea for that property.0

50s for the swirly carpet, and some of the wallpaper, late 60s, early 70s for the rest of the wallpaper and the stone cladding?0 -

I remember my parents' terraced house, in the 50s and 60s, having wallpaper up to a border, but the part above the border was always plain white to match the ceiling. Then the 'fashion ' changed to patterned paper to the ceiling, but no border.0 -

It's not a sitting room by the look of it. It's a downstairs bedroom - thus making a 3 bedroom house (judging by the fitted wardrobes). The sitting room is called "lounge" on the plan.0 -

I suspect you are a couple of decades early for some of that.
The bathroom is pure 1970s.
The kitchen is 1980s. So is most of the darkwood fitted furniture - before that it would have all been free standing or, if fitted, plywood.
I'm sure that the carpets are more early 1980s than 1950s - and probably nylon. The parent's living room one was - lasted nearly as long as this one.
The stone cladding is almost certainly 1980s - the Coronation St episode where the Duckworths house was stone clad was 1989.
The sofa looks very like the one I bought second hand in the mid 1990's so suspect 1980s again.
The wallboards in the attic room look like the ones my parents stuck on the kitchen walls circa 1981. Polystyrene tiles on the ceiling of that room similar age.0 -

Ah, yes. The border was at about picture-rail height (anyone remember them?) and the white above it to blend with the ceiling was intended to make the room seem bigger - because it would seem the ceiling covered a bigger area (or have I made that up?).0 -

There aren't any numbers on these pictures -the one with the door into the living area and a staircase on the left...what is that door for? It's got a red heart on the handle and some flowery thing trailing down it on the left.
I can't fathom out what the door is doing there, perhaps I'm looking at it wrong!0
