1940′s interior: have the “old school” feel.
Do you have money to splash for interior design yet you don’t want those frilly designs I have mentioned earlier? How about getting your home a 1940’s look?
Don’t feel miserable. The 1940’s look is not so bad, it’s chic in fact! Loud colors that contrast each other were “in” during those times. Red and white, gold and gray… anything goes. Since you are living a convenient and fast-paced lifestyle, getting things mixed-and-matched is not anymore a concern.
Also, since we’re talking about the 1940’s, expect that you’ll have to splurge on some antiques. No, not the uber expensive ones, but those little paraphernalia (figurines perhaps?) that have a 1940’s touch in them. Maybe you could add in your shopping list some glass doorknobs too so it’ll be more authentic looking.
