Adam Style
artSparx Design archive |
|
The heart of the
Adam revolution was in the details. Under Adam’s
influence, decorative ornament exploded into a new
exuberance. He brought classical architectural
elements indoors, decorating domestic interiors
with swags, garlands, vines, medallions, scrolls,
and ribbons, painted in delicate or vibrant
colors, always balanced with the overall classical
proportions of the space.

Faux Delft tiles!
The loose, un-even quality of this faux technique
makes painted Delft tiles an ideal decorative effect for the beginner or
inexperienced do-it-yourselfer.
Irregular lines and loose hand
painted renderings add character and old world charm, easily
achieved without any prior painting experience.
