My Mom was a rebel in all ways and rejected anything that would cloud up her views of sunlight and the outside and unless there was an ultimate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/products.asp?id=privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">privacy<\/a> issue, she had uncovered, bare and naked windows wherever possible. I guess today she would be an outlier. So, I delved deeper into the &#8220;familia&#8221; window covering heritage, and discovered that my grandmother was a window covering maven of the 50&#8217;s, dedicated to chintzy curtains, heavy brocaded drapery and lots of layers on windows \u2013 the more the better! &#8220;Ugh,&#8221; said my Mom, but for me, as a dedicated window treatment designer, I have to rationalize that the 50&#8217;s, my grandmother&#8217;s high decorating era, with its unique and gaudy, daresay, I say tacky style, must have been her design guide; therefore, not her fault!

Today, I thought it might be fun to get a blast from the past and take a look at some of the design ideas of the 50&#8217;s, so that we can value today&#8217;s innovation, selections and limitless, cool ways to make a home your own. Just be glad that we no longer have to put up with uneven, ugly fabrics, cheap , gauzy materials, metal clacking blinds and harsh utilitarian furniture, kitschy flamingos, space hogging console TV&#8217;s and loud, brazen colors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/1_edit.png\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
