Prehistoric Period

Homes that were built in the prehistoric periods were made of materials that were nearby and available. The only homes that survived were made of durable materials (which were very few). 

Igloos in Arctic regions.

Underground homes in the Sahara Desert called Matmatas.

Even though in this time period furniture was not used often, patterns and colors were still used for other items, such a woven blankets, baskets, rugs, and clothing. Colors all played an important role, just like it does today, relating to society, religion, and tribal loyalties. Any furniture that was made was made out of wood and stone. It would be used for mainly shelving and sleeping platforms.



There are modern day homes that resemble a prehistoric stone feel. Igloos have also been upgraded!
