The chapter begins with Juliet Gardiner’s memoir of married life in a Span house and how the various homeowners in the estate all decorated in the same way, bringing together a loose mid-century modern style with bits of Victoriana. It continues by examining Terence Conran’s The House Book, as a guide to eclectic interior design and its emphasis on junk shop ‘finds’. The chapter then looks at examples of informal lifestyle culture in cooking and food (for example the growing popularity of mayonnaise, and the emergence of PizzaExpress) and how the clothing shop Biba developed into a ‘must have’ look for young women. The range of what might constitute the ‘good life’ ends up by looking at the Mirror Dinghy and the attempt to make sailing a leisure pursuit affordable to all.
