More 1920 Decorating Ideas-Bedrooms

Weren't those kitchens from Antique Home Style beautiful? Today I am going to share bedrooms! Most of these pictures are actually advertisements for flooring, hence the bright carpets and floor coverings.
A cheerful little bedroom under the eves. I have always loved dormers. 1920s architects made great use of them in bungalow style houses.
 Through the doorway one catches a glimpse of a sewing room.......rather interesting a curtain is used to separate the two.
 An attic bedroom. Did you notice a chair is almost always pictured? I love the idea! It would be very handy to have someplace to sit, especially if it is a cozy one like the wing chair above!
I hadn't realized painted furniture was so popular in this era. I love the same of the headboards and the painted roses.

  1. Very pretty! I love the idea of a sewing room right off the bedroom. So fun. : )

    1. Isn't that a wonderful thought! Love it.
      There are quite a few that show up in the advertisements, but I don't think I have ever seen them connected to a bedroom on house plans. I love how sewing was such an intergrated part of life that architects included them in houses.

  2. I've seen curtains hung between rooms on old movies, but I've never run across them in decorating books or magazines for that time. Maybe it wasn't popular for long?

    1. Interestng..... Maybe it wasn't popular? Just something that was a short lived fad. Or maybe it was popular for the masses (seems like a practical solution to me), but not popular in decorating, too simple/poor/old fashioned?
