This is a collection of images featuring bedrooms from the early '50s (1950-55). All this week I'll be sharing images of early interior design from 1952-1955 here so if you're interested in the early half of the '50s check back often.
I've noticed that bedrooms seem to be the most conservative rooms in the American home. I suppose that shouldn't surprise me much but I have been kind of baffled by how traditional and conservative the bedrooms looked in the late '40s as well as the early '50s. It seems as if it was the last room in the house to modernize. If I had more time I could probably make a case for it being symbolic of the countries deeply problematic views of sex and human sexuality.

Early mid-century bedrooms seemed to take a little longer to modernize than any other room in the American home. Bedrooms remained rather traditional looking until the late '40s but you can still come across some nice design elements or color combinations. Here are some of the more interesting examples I've come across.

Welcome to Mid-Century Living! My name is Kimberly and I'm a longtime admirer of mid-century design. My husband and I recently bought our first home and it's a beautiful old custom built 1954 atomic ranch house in Napa, CA. I plan to share my adventures in home restoration and remodeling as well as various decorating tips, gardening and landscaping ideas, recipes and anything else that falls under the banner of "Mid-Century" or "Living." I'll also be writing about local issues and various things that interest me as a new home owner. I hope you'll enjoy your stop here!
