mission-style
Spanish colonial influenced
Mission-style describes furniture, architecture, or design inspired by the Spanish colonial missions of California and the American Southwest.
The style features simple, sturdy construction with straight lines, exposed joinery, and dark-stained oak: a mission-style bookcase, mission-style bungalow.
It emerged in the late 19th century as part of the Arts and Crafts movement's rejection of Victorian ornamentation.
