Abstract
This project researches historical interior design from the Early Georgian period in England (about 1714-1750). The purpose behind this research was to practice recreating historically accurate designs, learn about period-specific furniture and finishes, and understand how interiors were impacted by the habits of daily life during the Georgian period. Research was conducted to understand various aspects of Georgian design, including room configuration and use, construction materials, moldings, furniture styles, wallcoverings, textiles, colors, and accessories. Important design elements were compiled and journaled to be incorporated into a final design solution. Presentation Time: Thursday, 1-2 p.m. To synthesize the results, a vignette of a Georgian room was drawn to illustrate how the different design elements come together to create an accurate depiction of a Georgian interior. Alongside the vignette is a description detailing why each design decision was made and the historical evidence backing it. This study summarizes the key aspects of Georgian interior design and how daily life impacted interior design during this era. It also demonstrates the process of using thorough research to create interior design solutions that are historically accurate and faithful to original uses and design intentions.
