Book - Tidstypiska kök & bad 1880-2000

The book provides an illustrative picture of the standard and style development of kitchens and bathrooms in Sweden's apartment buildings and detached houses. The design and equipment of kitchens and bathrooms follow the spirit of the times through the decades, both technically and functionally. At the same time, history bears clear traces of how the view of housework and life in the home has changed over time. 

The depiction begins in the 1880s when many cities grew strongly in the wake of industrialization. There were housing shortage and scarce economic conditions. The homes were heated with tiled stoves, the food was cooked on a wood stove and in the yard there was a privy. 120 years later, in 2000, when the story ended, a high standard in kitchens and bathrooms was a matter of course. New trends took turns, and many kitchens and bathrooms were demolished and rebuilt, long before it was technically necessary. 

Increased knowledge of period interiors is a valuable basis for conservation, renovation and remodeling. Inspiration can be taken from different floor plans, kitchen layouts and interiors.
