Homeowner transforms room in to 1970s time capsule

Ryan Nicholson sits on an iconic Eames chair in his 70s themed living room. Release date January 13 2025. An IT professional has spent nearly a month transforming his home into a 1970s time capsule, despite family thinking he is 'nuts'. First time homeowner Ryan Nicholson, 31, spent 25 days transforming the living room of his home, near Selby, East Yorkshire, into something straight out of the ‘decade style forgot’. He said: “It was a new build so it was just a bare shell, no carpets or blinds or anything like that, it just had a kitchen and stuff like that. “It took quite a while of saving to get to this position, but I’m quite pleased with what I managed to accomplish. “I’ve always been drawn to old electronics, that’s always been one of my big interests, I’ve been into this stuff since I was like nine years old.
