Trends & Influences IX - Old World Estate
Grand and strongly influenced by historical European manors, the Old World trend is defined as using warm, rich and frequently dark woods and earthy materials found in flooring, sinks and hardware. In addition, the style possesses a sense of opulence achieved with Grecian marble countertops, travertine fixtures and Parisian-inspired chandeliers. Romantic without being too frilly, other elements of the Old World trend include lavish decorations, oversized furniture pieces and deep texture on walls, fabrics and flooring. This style calls on several other European influences, such as French Country, Tuscan, Spanish and Mediterranean.
