"Experimental, Futuristic, and Other-Worldly" — There's a Good Reason Space Age Interiors Are at the Fore of Design Right Now

Image of an all-white living room that is design in a space-age aesthetic. There is a curved white sofa, two white egg chairs with black interiors, and a black geometric coffee table between the sofa and chairs. .

Some of the most beloved interior designs are influenced by the styles of the 1960s and 1970s. Culture at this time was going through a period of revolution and reform, and in home design, this led to a fusion of innovation and visionary aesthetics. Bold colors, materials, and shapes were the ethos of interior design at the time (much like what we see coming back today). However, there was no influence so cosmic as the world's launch into space exploration. Known in interior design as the birth of Space Age interiors.

Like its namesake hints, the Space Age interior design style spawned from the excitement around the space race and the cultural development happening as countries raced to land on the moon. That sense of futuristic technology and experimentation bled into how designers imagined interiors. If your mind is taking you to sleek, white egg chairs and chrome dining tables, then you are in the right place.
