Georgian Style Interior

Create an air of elegant luxury in your home. Your home doesn't need to be old to benefit from beautiful, Georgian influenced styles.
Georgian decorating is a simple and elegant style - well proportioned and uncluttered - so it will fit well into a modern lifestyle - bringing traditional beauty, style and refinement into your home.
Walls were a very important part of the Georgian interior and much attention was paid to their treatment. Classically, the wall area would have been divided into three sections: the dado/wainscoting, incorporating the skirting/base board, dado panel and rail (which would be at a height of approximately 75 cm/2ft 6in); the field or mid-wall section; and the top section made up of frieze and cornice.
