Going by the groovy wallpaper, I'd have put it at early 1970's.

I'd say late 50s/early 60s.  Sepia suggests earlier rather than later.

Would you have found those types of clothes in the late 40’s maybe?

I don't think so. I can't remember us wearing clothes like that then. Also I think the girl's hairstyle is more 50s.
