colonial style

Colonial style refers to architectural and design elements inspired by European countries, particularly England, during the colonial period. It features symmetrical facades, brick or wood exteriors, gabled roofs, and evenly spaced windows. Interiors often include fireplaces, crown molding, and classic details that reflect the tradition and craftsmanship of early settlers. This style aims to evoke a sense of history, stability, and heritage, blending functional design with timeless elegance. It’s commonly seen in historic homes in the United States, especially in the South and the Northeast, emphasizing simplicity, balance, and a connection to colonial roots.
