1910s

The 1910s introduced a sense of understated elegance and simplicity to interior design, laying the groundwork for styles that emphasised comfort and subtle refinement. Moving away from the ornate excess of the Victorian era, this decade saw the rise of the Arts and Crafts movement, which celebrated handcrafted quality, natural materials, and functional design. Interiors were designed to feel warm and inviting, with earthy tones like olive green, muted gold, and soft brown dominating color schemes. Woodwork, particularly oak.
