I remember looking at estate agent photos of my parents home when they first bought it back in the 1980s. It looked very much like this. I remember when I was very young they had a carpet with a similar sort of dead plant motif, I remember crawling along and following the plant stems.

That's just how everybody seemed to decorate things back then, people used to wear a lot of brown as well. Perhaps we all depressed or something

You got a remember, back then smoking inside was a normal thing to do. There is a color pallet that nicotine stains just sink into without notice. This picture is a prime example of said color pallet.

Right, my first reaction was “I can smell this picture.”

My parents had the exact same upholstery as that couch in the living room growing up.
