Western design, horses stitched onto the back of seats, and wooden tables carved horses on the sides. Lots of wood on sofa and chairs. very heavy and at that time very expensive. Wish I had it now!<br><b>References : </b><br> Stacey, I remember my grandparents bought a new livingroom set, it had a sofa, chair and 3 tables.

My parents had a 'leatherette' sofa in black with red and grey moquet cushions. It had black shiny legs, as opposed to feet, and brass casters. The style would probably be called fashionably 'retro' now.<br><b>References : </b><br> The colours I remember the most in 60’s furniture are Grey and Red.

The material was hard waring like sitting on a brilo pad and come in brown, red or blue. Not the most comfy things to sit on but in 60's we were out more than in. That is what we had anyway my nans was a well padded hard course sofa material like cordroy itched when you sat on it. It was also very heavy so once placed you never moved it. ha It lasted her 30 years!!!!!!<br><b>References : </b><br> We had a cottage sofa and chairs they were wooden framed and had wooden arms and padded out with material with cushions.
