• Blue 1940s Kitchen Full of Linoleum

Three types of linoleum are combined to form this floor. Remember, we still were a nation concerned about vermin and disease, including polio. When your kitchen is white, you can see the dirt and crumbs — and get rid of them. There was so much to be grateful for, that we did not necessarily need “more stuff” to be happier. I also swear I’ve read somewhere that there were prohibitions on building more than one indoor bathroom at some point… I need to find the source. Public Domain Mark 1.0This 1940s dining room style is up for interpretation.

Here’s another thoughtful bathroom, packed with storage — notice how the tub is pretty much “built in” to the storage in front of it. This actually seems like a pretty darn good idea.

To see all of Hazel Dell Brown’s thoughtful decorating solutions to common problems, view the slideshow below. Of course, I would not mind this kitchen, either. A family gathers around the living room TV set in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The Spruce is part of the Dotdash Meredith publishing family. Lee has over two decades of hands-on experience remodeling, fixing, and improving homes, and has been providing home improvement advice for over 13 years. There has been a lot of discussion in the past on gardenweb kitchens about it.

The catalog contains several ideas specific to linoleum patterns — which were super common in 1940s decor. Hazel points out that this flooring can come to the rescue when a room’s furnishings are undistinguished. From the sounds of this catalog, folks were making do with the furniture they had and adding spiff around the edges. When I look at some 1940s interior design and decor, I see a real sweetness. We still were a nation in which the masses did not have a lot of material affluence.

Oh, how we wish we could get this floor — and even more so, the famous #5352 — today. Our attic bedroom, 1940 cape cod attic turned master bedroom suite. Public Domain Mark 1.0In a period when books frequently lined the walls of homes, this 1940s home has a solid wall of books along the staircase. It's a classic look with bright, bold-statement splashes of red against blue that help catch visitors' attention the very moment they enter the home. Public Domain Mark 1.0In this kitchen, linoleum is used not just for the flooring, but for the sink surround and countertops.

Post-1953, the bullnose is less likely to be black and more likely to be the same color or a similarly toned contrast color, e.g. pink and mint, pink and robin’s egg, etc. I write about each one of these design ideas in more detail below. To save space in this children's bedroom, these three beds become one. In the morning, the middle bed slides under the tall bed, and the short bed slides under the other two beds. The shower is enclosed in a glass cabinet and with a curtain at the door.

I’m hoping when we pull up the horrid kitchen carpeting laid over another layer of pressboard in the adjoining laundry room that the old linoleum is in as good of condition. We had previously unearthed linoleum in wonderful condition in the hallway, front bedroom and bathroom. Look at all the function that is packed into this well designed and decorated space. This design — which is an extra bedroom the homeowner wanted to rent to generate extra income — made a room for rent into a one room apartment instead. A day bed — used for seating or sleeping — eating area, kitchenette, and office space as well as room for storage. With this design, Hazel teaches us that good design can add value.

The crenelated, appliqued gold pattern along the table cloth has a definite Grecian flavor. Yet the room designer calls this crenellation a "Chinese fret design." In any case, this dining room's purple-on-gold bold color schemecatches the eye and makes for lively conversation. Public Domain Mark 1.0This uniquely designed kitchen works off of an oval shape to facilitate workflow. Sink, stove, and refrigerator are all within easy reach.

This vintage catalog is formatted to feel like a scrap book of ideas that Hazel Dell Brown has collected over time. She has “hand written notes” scrawled in the margins and little sketches here and there to illustrate her ideas. What a charming format for what is basically an Armstrong linoleum sales brochure. Much of the furniture is made of furniture-grade plywood. Plywood as a design element is popular once again. In the late 1940s and into the 1950s, higher grade plywood was often used to make nightstands, beds, cabinets, and chairs.

It makes me want to paint a ceiling a bright color. The use of warm and rich colors in this space — combined with the symmetrical arrangement of furniture — make for a calm, cozy and inviting living area. Of particular note — the way that linoleum inlays were used in conjunction with a small area rug to visually create one larger area rug. Using a small cloth rug with a less expensive linoleum floor inlay underneath is a smart way to “have a bigger rug” without the added expense.

Quinby & Wilson’s Colonial Maple Shoppe and McHugh’s which carried all the other styles of furnishings. So Colonial Maple furniture was everywhere even if the home wasn’t particularly Colonial Revival in style. The shop went out of business in the early 80’s. I think more due to retirement of both owners than to changing tastes or maybe a bit of both.
