ART NOUVEAU
Living Space
Art Nouveau living rooms are quite beauitful and a lot of
detailing goes into them. The swooped ceiling is a signature
touch. The high ceilings allow for the room to feel more
open. That is where historical and modern versions connect.
The ceilings being white and and the walls having dark
wood walls.
While the space is a larger gathering space there is a little
bit of furniture in each one. The sleek lounge chases and
round wood tables. The modern version of the room has
detailing of arches on the wood walls this connects to the
historical version it’s almost exact. The historical room is
timeless and exquisite.

THE BUNGALOW
Living Room
A bungalow style living room was a bit more rustic looking.
Consisting of the dark woods and wood base boards. The
rustic pendant light above the dining room table was the
typical pendant you would see in this type of living room.
The modern and historical one connect not in your typical
way the modern version of the living room shows light
throughout the space, multiple pendants, and a light wood
flooring. The modern dining table is a lighter wood but
connects to the historical one by having the same length
and shape as well as having the same amount of dining
chairs.

New Furniture Chair
Gustav Stickley designed this chair and the modern
version of it is almost the exact replica. The modern
one is a suede material while the historical one is a
brown leather. The wood of each chair match each-
other perfectly. The modern chair has a large
cushion allowing for comfort, while the historical
version allows for comfort it is slight thinner. The
modern one looks a little bit of mid century
modern. The wide seating with thinner legs and a
thinner side bar. The modern one represents the
historical one in a great way. This chair from the
beginning has continued to change in each era but
slightly keeping the original look.
