romantic

The 19th century saw the renaissance of ancient Roman and Middle Ages attributes throughout culture. This rediscovery of established inspirations sparked a movement that would strive to incorporate strong fundamentals of antiquity with radical flairs of progressive influence. Classic forms and aspects from Greek, Italian and Gothic eras were updated to create a distinct, original style.

Romantic-style homes convey a reminder of lifestyles that were simple, iconic and organic. Typical architectural details include facets from a number of different styles, combining natural wood elements like plain sawn flooring, raised-panel doors and intricately styled rosette blocks with dormer windows, steep gables and elaborate stonework—all coalescing to generate a fashionable style evolved from early ideas.
