Mid 19th Century (1830 - 1860)

The Mid-19th Century (1830–1860) marked a period of dramatic change in interior design, driven by the Industrial Revolution and a shift toward ornate, eclectic styles that blended historical influences with new manufacturing techniques. Furniture was more elaborate, with carved wood, velvet upholstery, and patterns, often in deep jewel tones like burgundy, emerald, and royal blue. Additionally, the rise of the Gothic Revival style brought elements of medieval design into interiors, with pointed arches, stained glass, and ironwork adding a dramatic flair to the home.
