LatestIn the 1950s, people were desperate to be modern, and old attitudes were bulldozed away; in the '60s, objects thrown out as junk by previous generations were suddenly in demand for the young and fashionable. Now the rage for nostalgia has spread to homes located all over the country. Why we became obsessed with furniture and architecture from the past.
How we decorated and redecorated our homes over the latter half of the twentieth century reflects our changing attitudes to domesticity, home ownership, gender roles, and children. Through interviews and the witty use of archive, an intimate and affectionate social history of British homes.
