Style History
We all know what the English restrained classics look like. So the Georgian interior is its parent. It is characterized by proportionality and aristocratic harmony.
This direction in the interior got its name during the reign of King George I of Great Britain . Rococo style was very popular at that time. People who had the opportunity to travel began to bring with them the traditions of home decoration from different countries. One of them was the classic, which was warmly received and transformed into its own design direction.
Mixing pompous and flashy rococo with restrained and calm classicism gave birth to a new style, which at that time was unusual and at the same time very interesting.

Distinctive features of the Georgian interior design
Symmetry and straight lines allowed the Rococo style to become more restrained. In the Georgian direction, the features of Chinese Gothic are also traced. Add to this the progress in the craft sphere and we get a new interior using natural red wood, as well as the presence of glass creations. The latter replaced the entire massive decor of classicism.
The Georgian-style houses were practical and comfortable. There was always a fireplace in them, which kept the house warm when it was cold outside. At that time, of course, there were no radiators and this item was a real luxury. Also, very practical.

Windows in this style are large and voluminous, so they could let in a lot of light. Which was also extraordinary. Few people could afford it.
The color scheme is used in muted natural tones. Light brown, marsh, gray shades were used at the beginning of the origin of Georgian stylistics. Later, more progressive colors began to be used – blue and pink. As well as gilding elements.
