The Home of To-Day Created by Sherwin-Williams
A 1930 trade booklet issued by the paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams, showing painted scenes of houses and rooms meant to demonstrate its finishes to prospective homeowners and decorators. The pictures are flat, opaque gouache-style illustrations with strong colour blocking, showing exteriors with green roofs and shutters, a dining room with a red dresser, and yellow and green kitchens. A designer might take their bold palettes of two or three saturated hues per scene, and the clean contrast of trim against wall colour.
