80's for sure, i win

I'm gonna say 60's/early 70's. The carpet running along the floor on the wall and the tailed zebra rug at least date this a little.

Yup, 80's for sure - - - like 1980-1982!

70's.

Looks like 1966-1972. I'd say '60s, looking at the furnishings and technology in the room.

The colour scheme, tiki tables and zebra rug had me thinking early 80s - but I went 70s on account of the shag carpet running around the couch, and the light fittings.

70's- 1975-78 era. The teak does it for me.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say late 50s/early 60s. But the voting thingy is not showing up for me, so I don't know if 50s is even one of the choices. If not, I'd say 60s for sure.

I would guess late 50's early 60's because of the red (reminds me of Vreeland) but I went for 60's - thinking it's probably late 60's to early 70's, because of the wood.

I guessed the 70's although the lighting makes me think differently...

I said 60's - Perhaps "cutting edge" use of shag carpeting on the walls?

It's definitely '50s. The predominant square type design it's defining for the period.

The ubiqutous zebra rug (though initially a big hit ih the 80s), the square lamp shades and the matching small-big tables: I'm guessing now.

I also say the 70s.

I'm with the late 50s/early 60s crew. Somehow this makes me think of an elvis movie. Tiki, geometric, shag.....I voted 60s.

Late 60's-early 70's.

'70s. Check out the portable TV on the table.

I'm going to guess mid-late 60's.
That looks just like my grandparents' style... mix of tribal and modern. Except they had a (real) leopard hide rug and a wall-mounted bar/storage cabinet covered in real zebra hide. And lots of Danish modern furniture.
When they relocated to Chicago a few years back, I snagged a real Howard Miller Nelson sunburst clock and African drums...

I said 70's based on the little TV on the table.

The colors are intense. I say 80's.

The lighting and tv say mid-to-late 60s to me, but the overall, general style stayed, carried or continued on until the mid-to-late 70s (i.e. the Willis' upstairs from the Jeffersons had this palate of colors and materials as well as the art).

this one is a little tough. I'm thinking very late 60s but the little tv on the table appears to be more 70s technology.
view beddybee's profile
I say 1950s or early 1960s. Voted 1950s

I'm saying late 60's to early 70's for small TV's like that did exist at that time frame. In the early 60's you can buy a small 12" B&W portable TV that was trully portable and yes, it had tubes for it's main chasis. I know, I had one for about 4 years in the late 70's, early 80's that dated to around 1962 for it only had the VHF tuner.
Shag carpeting was a definite big hit in the 70's but I'm still sticking w/ late 60's, early 70's.

Hmmm, I'm not sure that's a TV. Looks like a "small" radio to me!
@ dn - BRILLIANT use of a Jefferson's reference to prove your point! This truly could be a deluxe apartment in the sky!
