Frank Ockenfels/AMC
While Betty Draper was busy being a house wife in her Ossining, NY, home, House Beautiful was featuring cutting-edge home designs to make any 1960s woman swoon. Here, we take a look back at past designs and remind everyone why we still love to see similar styles every week on TV. For ideas on 1960s-style accessories, see Decorating the Mad Men Way.

Mysterious Bedroom
At night, the bedroom becomes mysteriously beautiful, suffused with glowing light from sources concealed in the surrounding deck that may be dimmed or intensified in endless ways, combined almost like musical chords, to fit the occupant's need or mood. The bed wall is luminous enchantment in itself. Featured in the February 1960 issue.

Rich Living Room
Coming into the living room from the entry area during the day is like walking into a richly furnished pavilion, a securely sheltered space under a broad roof resting on substantial stone piers but otherwise open to views of the surrounding landscape. Featured in the February 1960 issue.

Versatile Kitchen
The center island, with lighting and a vent fan built in over the cooking unit, also serves as a work table and desk. Note the space above the cabinets over the sink through which, when the draperies in the passage are drawn aside, one can see the garden beyond. Featured in the February 1962 issue.

Inviting Living Room

Kitchen with Garden Room View
Even though there's no window opening directly to the outdoors, this kitchen still has an open, spacious feeling, achieved by a wall of glass that opens into the garden room and bathes the room in soft daylight. Featured in the September 1961 issue.

Non-Traditional Living Room
The living room reveals a fresh attitude toward furnishings with very little reliance upon East-Coast traditions. Here the taste is wide-ranging and open to many sources and influences. Note use of non-traditional fabrics on traditional chairs. Featured in November 1962 issue.

Wallpapered Bedroom
Adjustable shutter-blinds, relics of Victorian days, can be turned into effective ventilating doors to a clothes closet, besides giving a room a look of architecture. And a tester bed acquires contemporary freshness, unexpectedly valanced in wallpaper instead of fabric. Featured in the November 1962 issue.

Harmonious Living Room
The living room is a generously proportioned space having the openness and freedom characteristics of the day's feeling and thinking. It provides a harmonious setting for furnishings that are a mix of the old and new. The nature of this mix is particularly emphasized by the tall storage cabinet at the right. Featured in the September 1961 issue.

This custom-made combination of louvers, shoji-type silk paneling, and an antique foil painted screen can embrace the bed in complete privacy. Featured in the November 1960 issue.

Japanese-Inspired Living Room
The living room is arranged with an asymmetrical placing of elements, preferred by the Japanese. It is carefully furnished with many fine Oriental works of art. At the entrance to the living room is the tokonoma (alcove) with its characteristic tokobashira, a column made of a tree trunk with only the bark removed. Featured in the September 1960 issue.

Living Room with Outdoor Views
In a large living room, the main grouping of furniture is isolated from all through traffic. A low bench provides extra seating without turning focus away from the featured view into the treetops outside. Restrained drapery and furniture fabrics in green and gold harmonize with wood and cane of furniture and with outdoor scene. Featured in the October 1960 issue.

Conforming Furniture
Instead of being limited to one static arrangement, hexagonal snack tables can be used interchangeably in living, dining, or bedroom. All can stand alone, yet they can combine with each other to conform to whatever new rooms you place them in. Featured in the October 1961 issue.
