There is something timelessly alluring about the bohemian style of the '70s. This revolutionary moment was characterized by a unique blend of influences, including rock, disco, and punk, resulting in a sound that feels simultaneously striking and laid-back. Keith Richards living room embodied the best impulses of this era's aesthetics.

An archival image from 1969 shows Keith and then-partner Anita Pallenberg relaxing on the floor of his Chelsea, London home, surrounded by '70s trends. Rather than a sofa, the couple reclines on a pile of geometric and block-printed pillows and throw blankets that sit in stark contrast to the traditional wainscotting of the walls. Additional furnishings include a brass cigar table and a tall antique silver candlestick holder filled with a white taper candle.
