1910s – Freestanding Furniture
Freestanding furniture stands on its own away from other things. In other words, kitchens didn’t have built-in cupboards or appliances and that’s not all. Kitchen sinks weren’t attached to the wall either. They came as a separate piece. This was done to increase air circulation which reduced the risk of mold and mildew forming. Cabinets were also freestanding as well.
