The defining characteristic of Georgian style is subtlety. Color schemes are pale and understated — soft grays, pea greens and whites. Wallpapers might feature simple patterns, often with Oriental designs, as the papers traditionally were imported from the Far East. Moldings are intricate but not ostentatious, and furniture and fabrics traditionally were soft and elegant. “A lot of stucco would have been used, with moldings all around the edge of the ceilings in beautiful patterns,” Parinchy says. Winged chairs were common features, as were fireplaces. Although decorative, the style is understated. “Georgian buildings tend to be much simpler and much less ornamented than other styles,” Tugman says. “For the most part they were very plain.” (Notice that wallpaper!)
