1910's - The homes of 1910's were indubitably be like to the homes of 1900, maybe the only difference is this is when interior designs came into portray. The old folks itself you would unquestionably find wooden floors, paneled walls, the windows are likely to be stained glass, the most singular piece in a 1910's home in my opinion would be the fireplace, it would be the well- point of the room, very goodly hearth placed in an inglenook or intermission, you would also notice the mantle to be carved and in many cases there would be a gnome above it. When it came to decorating these homes, this is when handmade items became perfect powerful, unimpassioned handmade furniture, lots of copper and pewter would also be found in these homes.
