This style, born from the aesthetic movement in England at the end of the 19th century, emphasizing craftsmanship quality and authenticity, is experiencing a renaissance, showing that design can elevate everyday decorations and objects to a higher level.

William Morris - An Inspiration for Future Artists

The Arts and Crafts style brings a return to traditional craftsmanship, responding to contemporary consumer needs for uniqueness and individuality in interior decoration. Everyday items gain distinctive characteristics and embody the ideals of the movement. William Morris, known as the leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, contributed to the creation of many designs that still enjoy great recognition and appeal today. An example is the Red House, a home designed by Morris's friend. It is not only a masterpiece of architecture and design but also a symbol of the movement that revolutionized design and production approaches in the 20th century.

Key Reasons for the Popularity of the Arts and Crafts Style

  1. Authenticity and Uniqueness: In an era of mass production, many people seek to bring elements into their homes that have soul and history. Handmade items in the Arts & Crafts style are unique and often created by local artisans, giving them a distinctive character. Books, stained glass, and embroidered fabrics—these original designs make interior decor functional and beautiful.
  2. High Quality: The Arts & Crafts style places a strong emphasis on quality craftsmanship. Furniture and decorations are durable, sturdy, and made from natural materials, making them a long-term investment.
  3. Connection to Nature: The colors, materials, and illustrations used in the Arts & Crafts style are inspired by nature, bringing peace and harmony to interiors. This is especially important in today's fast-paced world, where many people seek a sanctuary of calm in their homes.

How to Decorate a Home in the Arts & Crafts Style?

Colors Inspired by Nature:

Interiors in the Arts & Crafts style prefer earthy tones, such as warm greens, deep reds, rich browns, and muted yellows. These colors introduce tranquility and coziness to the space. Darker shades of wood, popular in joinery and wall panels, add depth and character to interiors, allowing everyday items to shine with elegance.

High-Quality Furniture:

A key element of the Arts & Crafts style is furniture made with attention to detail and quality. Craftsmanship furniture with exposed joinery and nature-inspired motifs, such as flowers or geometric patterns, introduces a unique style to interiors while impressing with functionality. Oak is a particularly valued material that underscores durability and aesthetics.

Decorative Lighting:

Lighting in the Arts & Crafts style is not just functional but also aesthetic. Lamps and chandeliers should be elegant, with details referencing nature. Such lighting creates a unique atmosphere and highlights the beauty of interiors.

Handcrafted and Vintage Decorations:

In the Arts & Crafts style, functionality is important, but so is the aesthetic of the decorations. Handmade items and vintage accessories, such as ceramics, textiles, or artworks, give interiors a personal character. Natural materials like wood, stone, and copper emphasize the rustic, organic nature of the space.
