Craftsman Style

Craftsman style refers to an early 20th-century architectural and design movement in the United States that emphasizes handcraftsmanship, simplicity, and natural materials. Characterized by low-pitched roofs, overhanging eaves, and exposed rafters, Craftsman homes often feature built-in furniture, hand-carved wood details, and extensive use of stone and wood. This style values artisan techniques and celebrates the beauty of materials, reflecting a reaction against industrialization. Common in bungalows, Craftsman design focuses on functionality and harmony with nature, promoting a warm, inviting atmosphere that highlights craftsmanship rather than ornate decoration.
