Do you believe that there\u2019s no place like home? You probably do; after all, home is where you spend the rest of the day relaxing on your comfy couch, watching your favorite TV shows, and cooking comfortable meals. <\/span>However, what do you think is an ideal home building? Also, have you ever wondered what an ideal home would look like in 10 years, 50 years, or 100 years? Several decades ago, people built their homes without the help of a builder. All they need is a self-building kit worth a few thousand bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n

These self-building kits include building plans, shingles, wood lumber, doors, windows, hardwood flooring, molding, varnish, and paint. They have everything people need to raise a custom family home from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, custom-built homes reflect how the evolution of the human population has changed over the last 100 years. There have been massive changes in how homes are built, from indoor plumbing systems to tinted windows.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Early 1900s (The End Of The Victorian Era)<\/b><\/h3>\n

The beginning of the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century (1901-2000) ended the Victorian era. It\u2019s the era named after one of the British Empire\u2019s greatest queens, Queen Victoria\u2014grandmother of the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end of the Victorian Era meant that most custom houses built at the beginning of the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century were the Victorian style. In the early 1900s, railways have become more available to the public, and roofing tiles have become more well-known.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this period, installing fireplaces was common in order to keep their homes warm during the cold winter months. Also, ornate trims, front porches, and stained windows became more popular. You can still see them in many houses built today.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one of the biggest changes that took place at the end of the Victorian Era was the inception of indoor plumbing. This allowed newly-built homes to have indoor flushing toilets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, indoor plumbing was only made accessible to affluent families. The building requirements for low-income families were different from rich ones. Therefore, only rich families are required to install such great plumbing innovations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-World War I Era<\/b><\/h3>\n

This period brought many changes to custom home construction. Unlike the end of the Victorian era, houses during this era had fewer rooms, but they were built openly, which allowed the air and natural sunlight to pass through. On top of that, porches continued to flourish and became an essential element of a house, indicating family status and wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this era, houses were designed in a simple way, but they had fabulous interior elements, large windows, and spacious walkways. Such designs were achieved because most homes in this period were constructed in suburban areas instead of the cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Post-World War I Era<\/b><\/h3>\n

The post-World War I era began on June 28, 1919, when Germany and the Allied Powers signed the <\/span>Treaty of Versailles<\/span><\/a>. The end of a devastating war between countries and continents has brought new ideas that eventually changed how homes were built.<\/span><\/p>\n

During this period, there was a significant distinction between how homes of the upper and lower classes were built. Also, governments played their parts and attempted to reduce the differences between how the upper and lower classes lived.<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, custom-built homes after World War I usually had a small kitchen at the back of the house, in addition to the kitchen inside, a limited number of rooms, and a living room.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 1930s \u2013 The Pre-War Era (Before World War II)<\/b><\/h3>\n

During this period, most of the homes built were transitioning from Victorian mansions and farmhouses to cozy, two-story homes with a basement. Many families left their small farm towns and moved to cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this era, most homes were glamorized with charming features such as high ceilings, door arches, and nickel-plated accents. Also, these homes were known for having distinct elements such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
