Questions About 1940s Home
- What is a modern home?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A modern home is a style of residential building that was constructed during the modernist design movement of the mid-20th century. Modernist architecture is defined by clean lines, simple rectangular shapes and a lack of ornamentation.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023To display your purse at home, you should typically place it upright on a shelf in a cool, dry area that doesn't receive direct sunlight. Stuffing your bag with acid-free tissue paper or white cotton towels will help it maintain its shape between uses. Refer to the care and storage instructions provided by the maker for specific instructions. Shop a variety of bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021In the 1940s, ladies wore clothes defined by clean and slim silhouettes. The jackets, blouses and sweaters often featured shoulderpads and had somewhat of a military feel. Most dresses were quite casual and pants and playsuits became part of a woman's everyday style.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A number of dresses were popular during the 1940s. Many women wore short-waist dresses with button necks, collars, fitted waists and full skirts. The classic A-lines with knee-length hems in red, white and blue colors were also a trend. Shop a collection of vintage dresses on 1stDibs.
- What is a 1940s style dress?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The most popular 1940s-style dress was the shirtwaist dress. It had a front opening like a men’s shirt, but with large buttons in the front of the dress, which was practical and easy to wear. The sleeves were short and necklines varied from shirt style to sweetheart and other necklines. Antique and vintage dresses from well-known designers are available on 1stDibs.
Roman Malakov DiamondsMarch 22, 2021The easiest way is to measure the circumference of the finger you wish to put a ring in. Once you have the circumference, you can search online for a table that roughly estimates the ring size to the circumference of the finger.- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Choosing a desk for your home or office is a matter of personal preference, but ideally, the best home office desk would be one designed with ergonomics in mind. In other words, it should be of an optimum height to save you from slouching, it should preferably be equipped with adjustable height settings to help achieve eye level with your laptop, and it should not take up too much space in the room. Shop a range of antique and vintage home office desks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021There are many colors available for painting a mid-century modern home and it is a matter of preference. You can choose from a range of colors that are closely associated with mid-century modernism — popular pairings include orange and brown or chartreuse and gray, for example. Find a wide variety of mid-century modern furniture, decorative pieces, serveware and lighting on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024Frank Lloyd Wright designed more than 1,000 homes and other structures over the course of his life. However, only about 400 of those designs were ever built. Some of his most famous homes include Fallingwater, the Frederick C. Robie House, the Hollyhock House, the Darwin D. Martin House and Taliesin. Explore a diverse assortment of Frank Lloyd Wright furniture on 1stDibs.
