The 1930s home presented an exciting new way of living for the generation that moved out to the suburbs. Young couples who had previously rented accommodation in urban centers found themselves able to afford new-build homes with hot running water, a bathroom indoors, and even aerials for the wireless already installed. Some four million houses were erected, and interest in interior home decoration boomed. This fully illustrated book introduces the homes that people fell in love with in the 1930s, and the fixtures and fittings that went in them. It is not only a practical and valuable companion for people who own or wish to renovate an inter-war house, but will also appeal to all those interested in period design.

  • Most evocative.

    This small brochure/book transported me back to homes smelling of wooden floor wax polish, disinfectant , open coal fires and beef roasting.Gosh, how primitive it seems now, but how homely. It's good to see how the houses worked for us though. In excellent condition.

    Fascinating insight into a way of life (only just) gone. But seems like a world away.
