Lol, I know rich people from that era and they did not live in this, they lived in mansions. Even saw a baby grand piano in a friend's sitting room I visited as a kid.

Rich men from this era built better mansions than rich men of today. I mean large houses not the dwarf duplexes people build today.

This is a very normal house.
the problem with building those large houses is that in old age after the kids have all left, the large houses become difficult to maintain and become a shadow of themselves

No, not the typical setup of a wealthy man’s living room in the 80s and 90s. The photo depicts a middle class home interior for managers, doctors, lawyers, and teachers in the 80s and 90s.

There were no plasma tvs at the time this was considered a rich man's parlour
The rich men houses weren’t like this, it’s majorly the poor/middle class family, they see their couches (especially if it’s very fancy or it took them a fortune to get) as something to be taken care of with extra caution.

This is a village chief parlour in the 80s, even my father parlour in the 80s is far better than this.

Righteousness2:
Thats life for you.
Vanity upon Vanity all is vanity!
What many killed themselves for in those days is a load of scrap today.

Listen! Everything we own and see around, they do not really Matter.
All the great Mansions, posh automobiles and so on that we own and want to acquire by all means, they do not really matter.
Nobody will take a pin From here to Eternity.
We came Here Na.ked, we will leave here Nak.ed.

Do not kill yourself because you want to acquire this or that or because you dont have this or that.
Handle the things of this life with Very Light Hands else they will deceive you, destroy you and land you in Hell.

Strive to get What really Matters.
The Genuie Salvation of your soul is what really Matters. It is Only available through JESUS CHRIST.
Thank you Pastor 🙏

There's usually a very nostalgic feeling I get when ever I enter all these old homes with very old people inside.
The furniture a nd everything inside is usually of very high quality

If not for China and their much affordable interior decor material. If not for the Internet and exposure of our architects and builders.

My dad in the 1980s was middle class working for John Holt those days and our parlour was 100 times more beautiful than this. We had air conditioning in all our rooms, full wall to wall rugs, wall paintings you name it.

I disagree cos;

✓ My papa parlor big pass this during early 90s

✓ We get dinning

Funny enough, we are not rich but average family who can afford to feed

This looks more like a living room of a babalawo in current times than a rich man's house of those days.

There was never a time when there would be sheets on the flooring of a cushion. Never.

They could be on the armrest and headrest.
But never found on the yanchrest.

Whoever did this never visited a rich man in his entire life
OP was a victim of Abject poverty in the flesh grin

Flat screen TV in the 80s and 90s?

Is the owner of that house a time traveler who went to the future to steal what would have been termed alien technology?

Or is he just someone living in the 2000s whose taste in decor has remained stuck in the past?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind..

More like a poor man's living room. Rich men built houses with large rooms and very large sitting rooms in the 80s and 90s.

OP where is the apoti fedeko of the 80s and early 90s? What's plasma tv doing there?

In a rich man's house then, you'd see a lot of quality carved decor and spacious living rooms with luxurious wavy settees, aquarium and the likes. No landline telephone, no bookshelf in your picture and you say it's a rich man's house. Doesn't look like it at all.
No built-in mini bar. OP never entered a rich man's house in the 90s.

There is nothing rich about this. So I thought about people in the 80's and 90's all wore oversized suits until I saw a throw back of one iconic celebrity back then. Tailored and well shaped, with clean brogues. It still plays out today, someone that has a poor taste in life will always show irrespective of money in the bank account.
