Interior Features - Period and Historic Styles


 

Adam Style
artSparx Design archive


The heart of the Adam revolution was in the details. Under Adam’s influence, decorative ornament exploded into a new exuberance. He brought classical architectural elements indoors, decorating domestic interiors with swags, garlands, vines, medallions, scrolls, and ribbons, painted in delicate or vibrant colors, always balanced with the overall classical proportions of the space.
