The lady of the house was heavily influenced by the contents of the various magazines on the market during this era. One area that was influenced is the style of the interior and exterior of the family home. One of the ways the women found ideas about how to decorate or the type of home that was the popular culture of the time was from magazines. One such magazine was Homebuilding Magazine. An example of influence at this time was that the homes began to shade the dark wood interiors for bright colors and stream line details.
