The 1950's
Space Age

I can sure remember the 1950's very well, I probably roller- skated my way through half of that decade, I was mad about roller skating.
The colour combinations pink and black, and pink and grey, were very popular. Cream with red accents was trendy too.

My Dad put cupboard doors on the shelves on wall of our kitchen, giving it a new built in look. The new cupboards were painted cream and Mum chose red and cream square door handles. I was very impressed with those square door knobs, they seemed so space age.
Everything seemed space age in the'50's.

For my 10th birthday in the mid fifties I asked for a cup and saucer which I had seen in a shop window, the saucer was shaped in a triangle! How cool is that! It had a grey squatty cup and a pink saucer and was completely different than our old fashioned flowery china. I was so proud of that cup and saucer, it made me feel space age, set apart from the rest of the family. I am sure my mother was very relieved that all I had wanted that year was a cup and saucer , so much easier to get than the chimpanzee I begged for in a previous year. I didn't get one.
I had my tonsils taken out just before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth ll , so I missed going on the school trip to London to see the decorations. I was soooo disappointed

Get the Look from BBC UK

Get the look is meant for real size houses. The same rules apply to dollhouse rooms though, so I have included it here.

Floor - lay a chequerboard vinyl floor in black and white, red and white, or yellow and white. Use floor tiles rather than one continuous sheet.
Fitted kitchen - in your fitted kitchen, choose Formica tabletops.
Chairs - go for the diner look in the kitchen with chairs in chrome and vinyl in day-glo colours.

Fridge - in America a gigantic fridge is essential, especially in a bright colour.

 

Appliances - fill the kitchen with big chrome appliances: blenders, toasters, and swing bins in chrome or plastic.

Fabrics - are bright with abstract patterns, often with science-inspired imagery such as calyxes, starbursts, atoms etc. Or go for pretty, sprigged florals set against polka dots or stripes in sugary pinks, reds, blues and yellows.

Use animal prints, especially zebra stripes and leopard spots for cushions, rugs and throws in fake fur.

This 1950's Soda Fountain Shop was made by Candy in New York State.

I am sure it will bring back memories to a lot of people.There is so much to look at in this room box. Check out the poodle skirt, Candy made that herself. The lamps hanging each side of the mirror are made from earrings. The juke box is a radio!
