The 1950s home presented an exciting new way of living for the
generation that moved out of the suburbs. Young couples who had
previously rented accommodation in urban centres found themselves
able to afford new-build homes with hot running water, an indoor
bathroom and aerials for the wireless already installed. Some four
million houses were erected, mostly in cosy semi-detached styles
that harked back to traditional cottage architecture. The design
elite rejected this 'Stockbroker Tudor' look and opted instead for
brave, flat-roofed modernist villas. This book introduces the homes
that people fell in love with in the 1930s, and the fixtures and
fittings that went in them. Packed with illustrations and
informative chapters on architectural styles, gardens, furnishings
and technology in the home, this book is an ideal introductory
guide to the houses of the period.
