Mission style

Mission style, also known as Craftsman style, is an architectural and design movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It emphasizes handcrafted workmanship, simple forms, and natural materials like wood and stone. Characterized by clean lines, flat or low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, and attention to detail, Mission style often features built-in furniture and earthy colors. It reflects a reaction against Victorian excess, promoting harmony, functionality, and artisanal craftsmanship. Commonly seen in homes, furniture, and interior design, this style celebrates honesty in construction and an appreciation for natural materials.
