The evolution of American homes is ever-changing and filled in new things to add almost every year. But it’s not until you see the changes slowly warping by every picture that it is evident how trends evolve. From the colors, and materials used in the furniture, patterns, and fabrics, the changes can be drastic or slow, but what we know for sure is that some trends never die and will come back eventually. So let’s take a time machine and go back into what the American dream home used to look like throughout the years from the 1940s until the 2020s.

America was involved in World War II for the first half of the 1940s. Because of the lack of materials and need for home decor, many classic interior hallmarks from the 1930s were prevalent. Besides, it was the turn of the decade, so it makes sense to have the curved lines of furniture from the 1930s, like this Streamline Moderne style. Inspired by aerodynamic designs, you can see the evidence of technological advancements from the decade before.
