There are as many styles in the world of furniture and design as there are tastes to desire them. From the somber dark woods of the Jacobean period to the geometric characteristics of Art Deco, there is something for everyone, and often making a choice is the hardest part. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it is certainly true in the furnishing world. Let’s run through some of the more well-known styles, defining and categorizing them so that with a little understanding, we can better analyze our tastes and desires. From rustic to formal, simple to elaborate, furniture creates a mood and shows off personal taste to best effect. 17th Century Furniture – Furniture has come a long way from the heavy 17th century Jacobean influences. This mediaeval-style furniture was typically plain wood with rush seats, straight lines and characteristically dark wood. In later years Early American style evolved, with typical European influence brought by the immigrants to the New World of America. In contrast, Louis XIV was busy creating the splendours and opulence of Versailles, with ornate gold carvings, fine artwork and magnificent craftsmanship in every room. The later William and Mary style brought trumpet turned legs, ball feet and padded upholstery to English parlours with a new look in oriental lacquer work. 18th Century Furniture – As Queen Anne ascended the English throne in 1702, furnishings became more refined, with graceful cabriole legs, rococo ornate trimmings and shell curves. Tapestry and chintz were popular and this became known as Queen Anne style. Colonial style American furniture was more conservative than English furniture of the same period, featuring carved pillars and less ornamentation. Following Queen Anne, Georgian style appeared and was particularly identifiable in architecture. In furniture, carved cabriole legs were the fashion, along with S-shaped curves and motifs. In the latter half of the 18th century, Chippendale furniture was in vogue, especially after the publication of Chippendale’s book of designs. His furniture was graceful, delicate and cultured and was further developed by Adam and Hepplewhite who introduced tapered legs, veneers and inlay to great effect. From 1780-1820 Sheraton style was the most reproduced style in America during the Federal period, with bow-fronted chests and cabinets. Chairs now had sloping arms and upholstered seats with central splat detail on the backs. 19th Century Furniture – Shaker furniture is still a popular style today. It is defined by the simple, utilitarian furniture approved of by the religious communities in America. It is typically plain and unadorned, as was the architecture and lifestyle of those early immigrants. Back in England, the Victorian era heralded much heavier and darker furniture than before. It is easily recognizable by its Gothic influence, and heavy substantial proportions. It often had elaborate carving or ornamentation to offset the dark finish of the oak, mahogany and walnut woods. 20th Century Furniture, and Onwards – With the dawn of the 20th century, Art Nouveau was a refreshing change. Furniture made a tremendous departure from what had gone before. Chair backs were balloon-shaped or bentwood. Furniture had curving lines, scalloped fronts and intricate patterns. This morphed into the Art Deco period which featured abstract designs, ornamental motifs, rectilinear shapes and a certain geometric style. It took the world by storm at the Paris Exhibition of 1925 after the dreary days of World War I. The Art Deco style is clearly illustrated in the pastel-coloured architecture of South Beach, Miami and the furniture within. In furniture the Mid-Century Modern style was progressing, particularly influenced by Charles and Ray Eames, Arne Jacobsen and Gio Ponti, whose mass-produced designs in man-made materials revolutionised furniture in the mid 20th century western world. From the 1960’s onwards furniture became Contemporary. Scandinavian ideas featured light natural wood, with simple lines, utilitarian design and very little ornamentation. This was later developed still more by such designers as Marc Newson into the Post Modern and Contemporary style which is popular today for modern homes. This is the story so far, but progress does not stand still. With the advent of new materials, glass furniture and new innovations, styles continue to develop. No doubt by the end of the 21st century, several new terms will have been added to the dictionary of furniture design and style. From contemporary modern furniture, all the way back to antique furniture – Crawleys Furniture has a wide range of items that can work with your home or office needs.

Many homeowners today have been inspired by a Victorian theme. Throughout the ages, this kind of sophisticated theme has brought joy and comfort to families from all over the world. The Victorian theme dates back to the reign of the famous queen of England, Queen Victoria. This queen has had the longest reign in English history. Her reign began in 1837 and ended in 1901. Her long reign in England brought many significant changes, especially in the economy. From what used to be an agrarian society, England progressed to an industrialized society. Aside from the name of the Queen,’ Victorian’ also suggests other definitions such as architecture, art and other social and moral changes that transpired during the reign of Queen Victoria. It has been said that during the time of the Queen’s reign major social changes occurred.

Despite all the modern changes in this period, the most amazing thing is that all the traditions and customs are well-preserved. People also acted in a prim and proper manner. People behaved properly, and the furniture during this period is characterized to exude great sophistication and class. The most remarkable Victorian furniture was the chairs. The large puffy cushions of the chairs give the impression of royalty, just like Queen Victoria. And right up to this day, the Victorian theme among houses is still used by many homeowners. Victorian furniture is mostly used by housewives who want their homes to be comfortable and, at the same time, regal.

The most distinguishing characteristic of Victorian furniture is the use of wood. Only a small portion of the furniture employs the use of metal. Usually, people prefer the darker woods for their Victorian theme. The Dark mahogany with a reddish tint added is also a favorite of housewives and other homeowners. Other wood choices for Victorian furniture include black walnut, bog oak and rosewood. Just like the chairs, the cabinets, tables and beds are also large and very sophisticated.

Because of the classy look of Victorian furniture, it has become a hit with European residents and has traveled as far as the United States. However, the Victorian furniture found in the US is a little different from the original that is found in England. However, the feel is still very Victorian.

Today, Victorian furniture is now known as antique because it is so different from the modern furniture introduced today. It really shows the true lifestyle of people from the past. But despite the modern setting we have today, Victorian furniture is still very much in demand. This kind is mostly requested by the rich and the famous as they have the ability to buy this very sophisticated furniture. Also, avid collectors of antique furniture are always on the lookout for authentic Victorian furniture, despite its high price. Mostly, genuine Victorian furniture can be found in auctions and flea markets at prices that are relatively high. This furniture, however, will make for very interesting conversation when your friends drop by to visit.
