Art Nouveau Interior Design
Characteristics
The Art Nouveau design movement began seeding
its roots as early as the 1890’s among those looking to shift from the
heavy Victorian era of decorating. The design elements of Art Nouveau
mainly include:
- Hardwood, both stained and varnished, normally covered with an oriental or colorful rug.
- Tiffany Lamps and stained glass windows both create and add to the Art Nouveau atmosphere.
- Colors are a personal choice as long as it’s kept fairly light and intriguing: sage greens, browns, mustards, and lilacs.
- The look and furniture incorporates stylized flowers, leaves, buds and roots like those shown in the images below.
