Magazines

Hey, guys! Today's post is going to be going back to the discussion of the Better Homes and Gardens magazines from the 1940s. However, this time I'll be posting five pictures that I found online that show what kind of styles were used during that period and writing about it.
In the images provided, it's obvious that during the 1940s the prominent style was traditional and functional. Along with this, a lot of wood finishes and bright paints were utilized (as seen in the image in the top right that I obtained from a student-based blog post from 2010, which I will leave the URL for at the end of this post). The Better Homes and Gardens magazines often feature people interacting with a space or of the spaces alone, and during the 1940s many of the covers were drawings. Many textiles were used for the tile floorings and wallpapers. Overall, homes shown in the Better Homes and Gardens magazines during the 1940s portrayed structural buildings that are highly functional.
