Home Sweet Bungalow presents home furnishings
(Products)
in the style of the Arts & Crafts Movement, a design and lifestyle
philosophy from the late 1800s through the early twentieth century.
A common Arts & Crafts
Movement theme is that
a well-designed environment created with beautiful architecture,
furniture and furnishings would serve mankind for both the makers
and consumers.
The Chicago Prairie style and bungalow
designs sprung out of this movement with bungalows being the most
popular Arts & Crafts
home design. Nearly one-third of Chicago’s residential housing
for single families is bungalows.
The over 80,000 homes that comprise
Chicago’s “Bungalow Belt” are typically of one
and one-half story brick construction with low-pitched over-hanging
roofs, dormers, art-glass windows and front porches.
