So
what if you are passionate about arts and craft?
With
a focal point on nature craftsmanship, arts and crafts home decorations have a
sustaining, natural and harmonious appeal. Arts and
Crafts style is not only driven by clear design guidelines, but by an entire
canon of beliefs. It has a refreshing honesty and purity of spirit. Arts and Crafts
interiors are full of heart and harmony, a holistic reflection of the ideals
that gave rise to the style in the first place.
You
cannot have arts and crafts style without wood. It is probably the single most
important element, and it largely informs the emphasis on natural, organic
beauty that defines this decorating approach.
You will almost never see painted
wood in an arts and crafts interior; instead, the focus is on rich stains that
preserve and showcase the natural beauty of the grain. Oak is the iconic wood
of this style, but pine, maple and other indigenous species also appear.
Arts
and crafts woodworking is not just about the material; it is also about putting
the handiwork on display. The classic arts and crafts palette takes its subtle,
muted beauty straight from the natural world: stones, bark, leaves, grasses. It
embraces sturdy, unadorned, comfortable furnishings that are built to last and
are as much about function as form. What they lack in ornamentation, they make
up for in the attention to detail and materials. Simplicity is the key; keep
these touches minimal to avoid visual clutter, which goes against the
aesthetic.
