In the nineteenth and early twentieth
century, the decor of a typical room was supposed to look rich, above all else,
yet the empty walls would strongly suggest low wealth. In the average
middle-class homes the quality would often be replaced with quantity. The walls
would be covered with hung rugs, mirrors, paintings, or old fashioned images.
The remaining empty interior spaces would be filled with flowers. In addition,
a lot of trinkets and decorative objects would be scattered around the rooms.
For example: tables on one leg, amphorae, vases, decorative plates, glass
decorations, cups etc.
Without a doubt that the style that
prevailed in middle-class houses, was ultimately a style which overwhelmed
casual rooms with (sometimes useless) items, but at the time it was surely
considered as a rich, or wealthy sign.
Of course now we have a completely
different view in terms of interior design and decoration. Currently, if we
want to make our rooms seem wealthy, or middle- classed. All it takes is to
make it look modern. With new, unique and different designs. Something that
will surely impress every visitor. However that doesn’t mean that all
traditional designs associate with lack of wealth... the opposite in fact,
however, traditional, does not always mean old... Every design should look
beautiful, it should feel that it is a new design, despite of being modern or
traditional.
It is also important not to overfill
interiors with random or useless objects and decors. Yes, it was popular once,
but now it just looks unorganised, untidy and somewhat chaotic. Try and keep
clear of decorations which may appear to engulf the interior. The main focus
should me on the design, the furniture, and colours, rather than useless
plastic or metal figurines, doilies and vases.
