Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 – 1928)

I was impressed by his work. It seemed the space was drawn by lines. You will find that line is one of the most important element of Mackintosh's design. 
While I looked up all of Mackintosh's work, his design was very close to Art Nouveau style. Margaret Mackintosh, his wife, was a designer too and it seemed she helped him in  so many ways. Her art was melted in Mackintosh's design.


Illustration
He was an extra ordinary draftman while he was at Glasglow School of Art. His illustration are really catch my eyes for their neat and aesthetic details.  His drawing reminds me of artist at Art nouveaux-Klimt, Musha, Lautrec.

Klimt

Current Application

Adding some curved lines and vertical lines makes Mackintosh style.

Actually it was hard to find so called " Mackintosh style interior design". Please let me know any one of have have another idea of his style.

Peer Review
Hailey: I think the current application of Art & Craft Period seemed very reasonable. Both of them has essential element  of this period-completely hand-made, wood joints visible, based on gothic design, influenced by Shaker furniture, and predominate wood oak.
Becca: It was a really helpful note the eight main characteristic that defines this period-

• Completely hand made
• Wood joints visible
• Based on Medieval designs
• Influenced by Shaker furniture 
• Predominate wood oak
• Simple honest designs
• Large exposed hinges
• Very heavy furniture

I copied them to remind me.

Thanks a lot!

Victorian Interior

I did some web-search about Victorian Period and found some interesting statement.

"A bare room was considered to show a lack of taste and so Victorian interiors appeared to be very cluttered compared to modern minimalist ideas."

-http://www.impressiveinteriordesign.com/victorian-interior-design-characteristics-history/

This statement seemed to be one of the author's opinion, but it explains everything why the victorian people would like to historically fill the space.

Numerous framed pictures and accessaries place every available space.

It is hard to find any space without decoration or accessaries.

Current Application

If interior designer would like to make vVictorian style house, mix and match with modern and decorative design. It would be less cluttered than Victorian period, but still have the aesthetics of those time.
