In this article I am briefly describing Georgian Style of interior design. In this type of interior design, the walls are of great importance and people who decorated their home in this style paid special attention to their walls. The walls area is divided in three important sections. Wainscoting, base board and rail; mid-wall section which is also known as field and the top most section made of cornice. In early period, these panels were mostly built of oak with wax polish. Later on, the trend changed and with the evolution of soft woods, these panels were painted with the woods. Fabric walling was an important trend of that time.
This means that textiles were used to hang on walls in a fashionable way. This design was not followed in dining rooms because the food smells might get trapped. Fabrics like wool damask and silk were extensively used in the interior design to attach with walls. Costly wall papers were widely available in the market with varied patterns and designs of various themes for the interior design. A wall paper sheet was widely spread and was used to attach with canvas. Moreover, there was great ease and convenience with these papers. These could be removed after the owner had departed the house.
As far as the concept of flooring is concerned, in Georgian type style, wooden planks were simply scrubbed and waxed afterward. For alternative and more advanced covering, a varnished and painted floor cloth is incorporated into the whole scheme of interior design. Marble and stone flooring was specially adopted in gardens and halls of the house. These floorings are used with classical patterns and considered more appropriate choice for the homemakers. Moreover, soft furnishing is most often adopted by many people in interior design.
