I can hardly be accused of caring for furniture fashion, but I know that even finding a carpet like that on the 1983 catalog would be hard today, except of course in a used furniture store. Likewise the drapes.

If I wanted to give that 1986 couch to a charity shop, they would probably refuse and say they could never sell it.

Of course there are some more neutral, "timeless" things too. The 1983 cover couch would not stand out at all today, and I believe the little tables are still for sale at IKEA (I have one, though it's in the laundry room)

That carpet is literally in the first room of the 2013 catalogue. Or maybe it is a different carpet, but I can't tell the difference.
