Everything About This Vintage Wallpaper Video Is Ridiculously Soothing

Remember yesteryear? When craftsmen made things with their hands and the world seemed perpetually accented with the color of yellow mustard? When the age of modernity had not yet fully "poked its ugly but useful head" and homeowners loved wallpaper?

Ok, I sort of cherry-picked those bits of nostalgia, but, regardless: the past, amiright? There's something so ridiculously soothing about watching the mundane bits of everyday life through the lens of another decade, especially when that view is accompanied by elevator music and a well-spoken narrator who says things like "machine-mad days" and refers to our "whirling world."

Cue a video from 1968 that spotlights a wallpaper and fabric manufacturing factory outside of London, courtesy of British Pathé 's YouTube channel. Watch it, relax, and prepare yourself to fall back in love with handmade designs.

H/T This Is Colossal
