I will pass that comment on to my Dad, because he actually made the pelmets in both the lounge and dining-room for me! (The one in the bedroom was already there). He based his designs on templates in a 1930s DIY book, hence the in-character feel of them.

As for picture rails, having been round three of these houses during my house-hunting days, and another two since to visit neighbours, I'm pretty sure that none of them ever did have picture rails in the first place. I'm not sure how typical or a-typical that would have been for the time, though.

I wonder if it's because yours is more the 'streamlined' 1930's style, as opposed to the more traditional with Art Deco touches style of a lot of 1930's houses.

Mine has the farmhouse look and feel - big solid walls (it's all 9" thick brick, even the internal ones), but with the nice fireplaces in the 'reception' rooms. The bedroom fireplaces are pretty simple, quite small and functional.
