Craftsman’s Interior

 

Like the Exterior of this inimitable style, a craftsman’s interior is just as unique with wooden details on moldings, and extensive paneling on doors and cupboards, it can easily be distinguished from other homes.

Originated as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, this Arts and Crafts movement puts heavy emphasis on high quality artisanship. Historically peaking, the interior of a Craftsman home has always been predominately earth-toned, yet the incorporation of vibrant and cooler colours are becoming increasingly common and the specifics of a craftsman design has also become increasingly liberal.

 

Both the window and door frame of a craftsman house thick and bold, with caps and sills normally protruding more than those of other styles.

Pillars and beams are some elements which carriers through from the exterior design. Especially those with elaborate book shelves and plate-rails around, the extensive wooden feature can create a sense of organization and sophistication in the house.

 

Now that we have a bit of understanding of the Craftsman Styled house, we might want to talking about the accessories that needs to be paired with the design. Like matching flipflops to a tuxedo, there are things that definitely don’t work in a Craftsman’s interior design, for instance florescent lighting or any futuristic/ modern furniture. Instead,  consider more classical / traditional pieces. In terms of lighting, the craftsman style is unique, generally setting off a warm shade of amber, bisque and earthy green. They are typically clean, sturdy looking and often has a vintage bronze finish.  They are rather interesting to look at,  something to consider even if you are planning on a different styled home.

 

The craftsman style isn’t all about showcasing wealth or piling on so much decorative pieces to a point that it’s impractical, but rather having enough details for the owner to express their care and appreciation for good craftsmanship in everyday living.
