What would our 1930s terrace interiors have looked like?

We're attempting to buy a 1930s terrace in North West London and will have to redecorate a fair bit - I'm wondering what the interiors would have looked like back when it was built, and what furnishing/decoration would be appropriate? I'm assuming little art deco grandeur in Wembley!

Here is one that might give you insight into a 1930s home

Not necessarily art deco but also arts and crafts
or you could search 1930s terraced housing interiors on google images for some good sources. You will find decorating was quite dark still...Jane Fitch Interiors
9 år sedanThere's the Geffrye museum in Shoreditch which has rooms decorated in different period styles. Not sure if it's near Mile End as my knowledge of London is confined to the South West. Check out this link http://www.geffrye-museum.org.uk/collections/thematics/20th/living-rooms/page-1/
Also, the V&A museum is a good reference for period features and furniture and has a great online resource.equinoxer

9 år sedanhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/design/period_1930s.shtml This is a brief summary of the different types of styles in the 30s. I'd just google images and articles to read up on it. Now Is a good time to go for an Art Deco style though as there's so much stuff around! I would probably just give a nod to the 30s rather than go all out and replicate all colours and furnitureastartestar

9 år sedanHi Kit - you might find this piece about renovating a 1930s semi a useful resource. Within it there's a link to a really beautiful 30s house renovation, too >> https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/architecture-how-to-fall-in-love-with-your-1930s-semi-stsetivw-vs~40061705Kate Burt
9 år sedanAlso Kit we ran a piece all about Art Deco (and watch out for some more stories on this style coming soon – they'll be flagged up in the Houzz editorial newsletters when published) >> https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/so-your-style-is-art-deco-stsetivw-vs~42717921singingcrayon
9 år sedanNot quite for design but this 1930s Haynes manual is useful to avoid making structural mistakes: http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=33261&langID=-1
