A subset of
Victorian design,
Queen Anne style shaped a wide swath of American
domestic architecture: from modest workingman’s
cottages to the imposing piles found in old
industrial cities like Buffalo and Pittsburgh; from
the exuberance of San Francisco’s “painted
ladies” to the the elegant restraint of Brooklyn
brownstones.
Although some Queen Anne's have classical detail
like dentils and
ionic columns, their facades are asymmetrical, a
departure from
earlier
neoclassicism. Their cross-gabled or mansard
slate roofs are
steeply pitched, and there is always at least one
porch and often
large decorative bay windows, orienting the house
strongly toward
public space.
In vogue today in home decorating, Arts and Crafts marries
philosophy and style—in both design and in life. Furniture, pottery, textiles
and lamps of this style are gracing homes, as antiques or in fine reproductions.
The elegant and sophisticated design style known as Art Deco
epitomizes for many the inter-war years of the 1920s and 1930s. Although not
strictly a style of architecture, but a surface decoration, its clean lines and
stylized, symmetrical forms nonetheless influenced the design of buildings
throughout the world.
If you've ever stood transfixed in front of a glowing rose window or been
intrigued by the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, you'll be thrilled with
these techniques and projects. Choose from 30 decorative designs, including:
light-catching lampshades, kaleidoscopes, hanging decorations and suncatches,
patterned boxes, windows, and more.
