Wonderful Kodachrome Photos Capture a Young Lady at Home During the 1950s

The 1950s was a decade that brought massive changes into the homes of Americans. The post-World War II era was a prosperous time for most middle-class families. They experienced an evolution in everyday life, replacing their apartments and their lifestyles in the city for a cozy home in the suburbs.

Dynamic and vibrant designs started to appear, influenced by science, space exploration, and innovations in technology. The architectural characteristics of homes also changed in the 1950s. Houses were smaller than in the pre-War period.

Open-plan living was introduced, and the fitted kitchen was part of every household, making the housewife’s work a lot easier.

The colors used in the 1950s were mostly pastels. These included soft pink, mint green, butter yellow, baby blue, and turquoise (similar to the popular current turquoise). Red and other bright colors were eventually added for dramatic decors.

These wonderful Kodachrome photos were found by Christian Montone that captured an American young lady named Nance at her home during the 1950s.
