Ideal homes investigates the tastes and aspirations of the new
suburban communities that emerged in Britain following the First
World War. In a period when homeownership was becoming the norm,
these communities sought out varieties of architecture and design
that were both nostalgic and modern, reflecting longings for 'Old
England' on the one hand and technological convenience on the
other. The book draws on exhibitions, memoirs, advertisements and
films, as well as surviving examples of suburban architecture and
interiors, to identify a distinctively suburban modernism, embodied
by the Tudorbethan semi. Arguing that the 'ideal' home of the
period was both a retreat from the outside world and a site of
change and experimentation, it concludes by considering how such
houses are lived in today. This new edition also features an
introductory chapter on researching the history of your own home.
