Historical and Decorative Arts Interiors
Historical and decorative arts interiors are domestic spaces shaped by changing ideas about comfort, display, craftsmanship, and the arrangement of daily life. Victorian interiors and Chinoiserie provide different examples of the relationship between ornament, furniture, room proportions, and use. Period settings and later rooms that selectively reinterpret historical motifs express different connections between inherited decoration and the spaces people inhabit.
