As the Victorian era drew to a close with the death of Queen Victoria in 101, the short but influential reign of King Edward VII marked the beginning of a new era in English the architecture, style and society. "At the Edwardian era, while open," says Michael Parinchy Pro Construction 360. The early 20th century also introduced the widespread use of gas and later electricity in most households, changing the way interiors were lit
Architects, urban planners and residents were eager to get out of Victorian industrial cities smoky, leading to the rise of the suburbs. However, the Edwardian style also borrowed freely eras that preceded it, incorporating details of the neo-Georgian windows and neoclassical decorative touches that we identify now with Art Nouveau and the Arts and Craft movement. Light colors and clear lines are typical of an Edwardian house, displaying a design change after dark perceived Victorian period. "You do not really have a sense of this dark Victorian openly fussy, said Rebecca Hayes of Hayes Rebecca Interiors.
As an emerging middle class began to claim its place in English society, rooms for officials has become less common in Edwardian new homes. Instead, they were designed with larger rooms and living rooms, and focusing on the dominated air and light. "If I walk into a home and it feels very light and airy and a kind of free, I'm going to guess it's Edwardian, Michael said.
Here are some of the main features of the Edwardian houses.
