What would our 1930s terrace interiors have looked like?
Comments (12)We bought a 1930's house recently in west London. There were a number of styles prevalent during this time usually falling into 1 of 3 categories - art deco (the one everyone knows about), mock-tudorbeathen which as the name suggests has tudor beams, oak iron studded front doors and often oversized fireplaces too. Finally there were the modernist homes with a focus on modern materials (think lino, curved glass crittal windows and tubular steel frame chairs etc. For me however its some of the smaller architectural details that I love in 1930's houses - lead light windows (sometimes with stained glass), picture rails in every room, 1 over 3 panel doors with high bakelite or brass knob handles and best of all original herringbone parquet floors! These are the things I've chosen to focus on in our house without going all out 1930's! Also as ASVInteriors mentioned there is also an element of arts and crafts to some of the 1930's homes which can often be seen in pretty entranceway doors/windows, quality inset kitchen cabinet doors/drawers, panelled cupboards and sometimes board and batten type hallways. I found the original brochure with illustrations for the homes built local to us from when they were first constructed which gives a great idea of what the interiors would have been like originally. Hope this helps!...See MoreHow to make our ugly 1930s terrace look pretty?
Comments (28)Hi - congratulations on your new house in our beautiful city! Your vestibule glass is stunning and if you like it as much as I do, I would consider taking design direction from that .... it will subtly remind you of/prepare you for that 'wow' factor as you approach your home. I wouldn't lose the external door if you value the heat retention/security, but you could change it to the style of the inner door, which will also add light. Mostly I would concentrate on using elements of those colours from the vestibule glass on the outside of your home - namely the yellow, deep red and black. I love Bristol painted houses, but if you want to keep to a neutral paint on the render then just experiment with ways you can use these colours as accents, eg door colour or detail on the door surround, dark window cills, dark brick red or nearly-black path, and definitely planting (especially the LHS of the path & RHS of the door). Depends on your budget but I'd recommend tiling the front step, and then maybe save money by using concrete paint on the path. Have fun experimenting with different ideas by 'photoshopping' a picture of your home before you spend any money! :-)...See More1930's bathroom design
Comments (14)Thanks Minnie. We will have to putbyhe bath down The left hand side if we do shower over bath because there is not enough tiling space where the window is. The previous owners tried this by the look of it and realised that water just covers the window sill and window! The bath would have to be a footed shower over one or i think a panel on the bath?? So if we panel it would be half way up the wall....See More1930s Middle Room Layout Advice
Comments (10)Hi Chânelle Congratulations on your purchase! I bet you cannot wait to get stuck in! I highly recommend that at this stage you sit down with either an architect or an interior designer. White there are fantastic builders out there, their remit is building and not always optimising space, light and flow. This may be a cost you hadn't factored in, but it really will save you money, stress and time down the line. They can really help you create a home that is optimised to work hard for you and be a space that you will adore for many years to come.
