Edwardian style
Early 1900s aesthetic
Edwardian style refers to the aesthetic of Britain's Edwardian era (1901–1910), marked by ornate elegance, lighter colors, and softer lines than the heavy Victorian period that preceded it.
In fashion, it means high collars, elaborate hats, and S-bend corsets for women; in architecture and décor, it suggests spacious rooms with large windows, floral motifs, and Arts and Crafts influences.
The house retained its original Edwardian style, with carved woodwork and stained glass.
