Tudor and Jacobean Interior Design Ideas and Styles
Because of its reliance upon architectural features and spaces, the Tudor and Jacobean interior design style may not seem an obvious one to interpret in any place other than a building of the period. However, to dismiss it so lightly could be a mistake. Be prepared to be charmed by the elegance of its simplicity, by the grace of its curves and by the honesty of materials and natural colors.
It is the perfect solution for a large hallway, impressively proportioned dining room or ample bedroom (especially if you possess a grand antique or reproduction four-poster bed to form your centerpiece). A large open fireplace is a marvelous starting point that will necessitate little more to evoke this romantic theme.
Paint walls a slightly grayish, creamy-white to represent aged whitewashed plaster. Decorate with faded watercolor stenciled motifs from the period if this appeals. Alternatively, attach reproduction panels made of resin/foam in a design of the period.
Wood planking, stone flags and terracotta tiles would all be ideal floorings. However, to give a floor an instant Tudor feeling, lay chunky medieval-style rush matting or one of the other natural floorings now widely available.
Wooden shutters at the windows give an authentic look, but for a more homely appearance drape a single curtain of heavy brocade or velvet from a handsomely proportioned, wooden pole and swag to one side.
Hang simple-design wrought-iron chandeliers or wall sconces and fill your room with candlelight. Another idea would be to convert a large blue-and-white jar into an electrified table lamp with a parchment shade. A similar conversion to an ecclesiastical brass candlestick would also produce an appropriate result.
To accessorize, scatter pewter drinking vessels and plates, wooden bowls and basic eating implements around the room. World trade shops may be a good source of imported items with the right basic feel.
Large blue-and-white oriental ginger jars and vases, grouped together atop a chest or table, will provide some color for your scheme.
Modem-day crewelwork fabric made in India is widely available and would make most suitable bed, window or door drapes. Textiles featuring flame stitch designs are particularly appropriate, as are velvets, brocades and leather.
Portraits of the period and naive paintings of domestic animals are now being reproduced by photographic means and finished in oil at a very reasonable cost. These will distract the eye from any lack of period architectural details and will fill your walls with interest.
Some most attractive machine-made tapestries are currently being manufactured by the meter. Backed with batons, these make ideal wall hangings. Tapestry borders are also being produced and look wonderful when used as an edging to natural floor coverings.
Trimmings are an all-important element of the style. Tassels and tasseled fringes in particular are appropriate and provide a suitable finish for upholstery.
A large rush log basket beside the fireplace will help to conjure up the period.
