I fell in love with Craftsman style many years ago. What I love is that it is both modest and magical. This style adheres to a wonderful color palette of rich and sophisticated jewel tones. Craftsman lends to both rustic and clean masculine lines. The grain in the wood adds gorgeous texture with soft leathers to help showcase this elegant look. Craftsman Design comes around again and again. Designing a Craftsman bungalow is a combination of new and reused pieces that create an efficient and stylish space. Many bungalows have traditionally showcased the signature look of built-ins, wide stained trim, and Small Square or stain glass windows. Dark woods dawn these spaces and set a wonderful backdrop for the rich and warm hues of paint. From the flooring to the lighting a Craftsman style home has a signature look that can not be missed or denied. Mission style furniture is best suited for this look, but a delicate and light application of floral may dot the "homescape" to add feminine charm through out this masculine style. The wood work should be stained against the warm tones of gold, greens, or creams. The sculptural lines of Craftsman should be simple and elegant. Drapes should enhance and compliment and follow the design. This is a "no-frills" and "no-fuss" look. The clean lines and rich hues accentuate a sophisticated and welcoming space that can be enjoyed for years to come.
