The Simple Beauty Of Arts And Crafts Furniture And Lighting By James Allen The Arts and look doesn't rely on elaborate curlicues and fussy formality, but gains beauty and function from unparalleled craftsmanship, functionality and simple, elegant lines. A lot of your color will be found in the rich tones of your furniture. Pick a neutral background like beige, and accent with colors inspired by nature, including rose, indigo blue and deep green.

squared or rectangular chairs featuring straight and ladder backs with generally wide arms, especially ones with rush-seating or upholstery. Invest in characteristic Arts and pieces like four-poster beds, chests, refectory tables and benches. Oak is typically the wood of choice for this type of furniture, also known as Mission style, and can have some embellishment in the form of carvings, hand-painting or inlays. You'll find numerous Arts and style furnishings on the GREENCulture site. Clutter is a definite trespass on the Arts and Craft ideal of practicality and function. Keep accents spare and simple, and make these precious details count. Use a wild flower or nature motif, or handcrafted metalwork like teapots, picture frames, sconces, jugs and vases in pewter, iron, silver, bronze or copper.
