Tudor style
Dark beams, white walls
Tudor style refers to architecture and design evoking 16th-century England—the era of the Tudor monarchs.
The look features steeply pitched roofs, decorative half-timbering with stucco or brick between dark wooden beams, tall chimneys, and mullioned windows.
American suburbs adopted the style heavily in the 1920s and 30s: a Tudor-style house with diamond-paned windows.
The term extends to interior design and furniture echoing the period.
