House from the 1990s

Traditional 1990s house in Swiss chalet style by Hetlandhus

This is a 1990s house from Hetlandhus called Tradition. The name reflects the house's design, featuring elements from the Swiss chalet style with nostalgic touches like a steep roof, cross-post windows, and decorative details in the gables. In the 1990s, this type of prefabricated house was the most popular, known for its flexibility and ability to adapt to different terrains.

The family in this house consisted of parents with two children and a son from a previous marriage who stayed on weekends. Although the living space was below average, the area was efficiently utilized. Hallways were used as an office on the ground floor and a TV room on the upper floor. The large kitchen was the only dining area in the house, showing clear signs of international culinary influence. The kitchen was equipped with modern appliances, including a microwave, which was becoming common in most homes.

The living room was notably small, dominated by strong colors like bold yellow and vibrant curtains, marking the end of the 1980s' pastel trend. Media devices such as a stereo system, VCR, and cassette player were central to the household. The office housed a Macintosh computer, signaling the family's entry into the digital age.

The bathroom was large, comparable in size to the bedrooms, reflecting the family's focus on well-being. Daily showers became routine, and the bathroom was considered a place for both hygiene and relaxation.
