TODAY’S ARTS & CRAFTS sensibility reaches past reproductions and even interpretive work. It has spread beyond the cognoscenti, beyond those who know the history of the movement. Arts & Crafts tenets have been embraced widely. These include an understanding of the local and vernacular, an appreciation of traditional skills, sustainable practices, and a preference for “fewer, better things.” In both architecture and interior design, the current wave of Arts & Crafts is producing stunning, livable new houses. The Arts & Crafts Revival is about 45 years old—and thus more enduring than the original American movement of the early 20th century. Contemporary artists and craftspeople are producing work equal to and often better than that of a hundred years ago. It’s impossible not to appreciate the beauty and quality of their…

ANTIQUES, REPRODUCTIONS, AND INSPIRED CONTEMPORARY WORK MIX WELL IN REVIVAL INTERIORS. fURNITURE in the Arts & Crafts manner is not to be classified the way classical and Modern pieces can be. Designers allied with the movement—whether they worked in London or Vienna, Glasgow or Syracuse, Chicago or Pasadena—shared design principles and a philosophical approach. But they created furniture that was extremely diverse. Best known for pieces that emphasize simplicity, solidity, and straight lines (e.g., Stickley’s oak furniture), the Arts & Crafts movement also produced works of refined proportions, sinuous lines, and complex ornamentation. William Morris advised that everyday furniture be of the simplest possible detailing, while what he called “state furniture” might be embellished. Linear motifs and flat planes dominated the vocabulary of many designers right from the beginning. Yet…

HOUSES of the Arts & Crafts revival incorporate historical details in an interpretive and contemporary way. Today’s designers and builders are embracing new technology, universal design, and more environmentally responsible building practices. Reassuringly familiar, these houses are appreciated from coast to coast—whether it’s a bungalow court of starter homes, or a 6,000-square-foot Craftsman Tudor. It may be hard to define what’s “Arts & Crafts” about these houses, just as it was during the original movement (ca. 1910). Vernacular and regional substyles exist today as before: the East Coast shingled house with classical allusions, the horizontal Prairie house, the cubic Kansas City shirtwaist, the hacienda or Mission Revival house—and, of course, artistic bungalow variants built from Pasadena to Vancouver. The influence of the Arts & Crafts movement is evident. Some elements…

aRTS & CRAFTS INTERIORS have been described as simple and spare, but they are fully decorated by modern standards. Woodwork and trim, wallpaper and paint, rugs and pillows and portières contribute to the cozy effect. Most woodwork treatments were rather simple. Inexpensive even when machine-cut from Southern pine and cypress, beadboard was ubiquitous in back-of-the-house rooms frequented by servants, like the kitchen and utility areas. (Beadboard is a contemporary favorite in kitchen and bath renovations.) More formal paneling or wainscoting was reserved for dining room, parlor, or staircase. A board-and-batten wainscot is fairly simple to install. Wide (12") planks of oak, fir, red gum, or cypress are butted together vertically; the joints are covered with narrow battens (2½" to 4" wide strips of wood). Topped with a molded plate rail,…

Under the Arts & Crafts umbrella you’ll find expressions as different as those of British architect C.F.A. Voysey, American Arts & Crafts pioneer Gustav Stickley, Pasadena’s Greene & Greene, and the Midwest Prairie Style of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Arts & Crafts movement sees beauty where it really lives—that’s why it has enjoyed so many vernacular and regional expressions. Wherever you live, Arts & Crafts is there to speak to you. Its buildings may be stone or brick or shingled, depending on custom; its motifs may refer to the designs of the Navajo or to local fauna. Today’s houses and interiors are no less varied. What they have in common is an organic simplicity, at least by Victorian-period standards. Still, they are fully decorated, proto-modern but not Modern. Owners may…

• KEEP IT IN SCALE! You don’t want it to look like an estate kitchen with a bungalow attached, or a spa. Stay on the original footprint, perhaps borrowing space from a hall or pantry. Any additions should be proportionate to the house; sometimes just a few feet, bumped out on the rear or side of the house, is enough. • SIMPLE IS OFTEN BETTER. First of all, the room will have a more timeless “period” look if details are borrowed from historic kitchens or baths (or the pantry)—rather than copied from high-style details in your main rooms. Plus, a simple service room is easier to clean! • USE SEVERAL DIFFERENT COUNTER SURFACES in the kitchen: it’s practical as well as historical. Pick something nonporous near the sink and stove,…

CHOOSING LIGHTING may be the most fun you can have when you are decorating a house. Arts & Crafts-era lighting was designed from the beginning for electricity. That led to an explosion of forms, both traditional (based on candlestick or gaslight) and brand new. Combining utility with beauty like nothing else, lamps and fixtures express style in such beautiful materials as brass, nickel, mica, and stained glass. Lighting may be the most visible and affordable way to add period ambiance and even art to a room. As for hardware and metal accessories: everything is available, whether in iron, brass, copper, bronze, ceramic, or glass. As with furniture, design influences range from Mackintosh to Stickley, with medieval and Hispanic designs in the mix.…
