WHAT IS ROMAN STYLE
Roman interior design has been around for centuries. This
style has influenced many of the newer more modern
styles throughout the ages. To help you become familiar
with the elements of this old art form that has inspired us
all, here are 10 characteristics of Roman interior design.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
ROMAN STYLE
1. Stucco finished walls
From the earliest times in Roman interior decor, stucco walls were a
part of the scheme. This was more out of necessity than anything
else. The first stucco homes were small and very plain with little
thought to interior decorating through accessorizing. This is one of
the foundations and a solid element that lends the patterns achieved
through stucco finishing as a characteristic of the patterning used in
Roman interior design.

2. Rich deep colors
Another characteristic of Roman interior design is the use of rich
deep colors that center the focus around reds and yellows. In early
interior decor, panels were drawn from the walls and painted to
create patterns and sometimes images or focal points. The earlier
versions were quite simple, but through time, they have evolved to
take on more complex elements.

3. Mosaic effects
Once the Romans learned the value of color in interior decorating,
they began to experiment with a variety of colors. They created
mosaic work that included the piecing together of colored glass that
produced a jewel effect. Mosaics have taken on many new forms in
the evolution of Roman design but this remains an element that is
easy to identify in an overall scheme

4. Marble slab
The use of marble became popular in early Roman homes and
temples. Skilled craftsmen created interior marvels by combining a
variety of marble slabs they cut together. They learned how to
combine different tints together to create brilliant patterns for
flooring, cornices, and more. The infusion of marble in flooring,
countertops, tables, tiles, and a variety of accessories including even
rolling pins used in the kitchen offer a Roman styling.

5. Bronze work
The Romans used bronze to make a variety of household equipment as
well as furniture. Bronze is a material that is characteristic of Roman
interior design. Some homeowners intersperse bronze statuettes,
bowls, platters, mirrors, and furniture when going for a Roman interior
vibe. This is a metal that has been used for a variety of interior decor
pieces. One of the most popular uses for this element of Roman design
is for creating statues and figurines. You may also see bronze tiles
occasionally, used as trivets for pots, spoons and other kitchen items.

6. Pedestals
Pedestals were big in Roman design. You can see this influence in
some bathroom sinks, and in accessory tables. A singular column
that holds the basin or round tabletops are commonly seen in
Roman interior design. This design feature is common in both
Roman and Greek interior design. Roman interior design has
borrowed heavily from the design characteristics adopted by the
Greeks.

7. Vaults and arches
Vaulted ceilings are a characteristic of Roman interior design. This is a characteristic of design that
was adopted from the Etruscans. There are several different kinds of vault designs used to use this design feature in a
variety of ways. Some vaults are elevated to create a sense of height. It’s common to see this characteristic in cathedrals
and churches, but it is also used to enhance the interior of homes/residences. Another architectural characteristic of
Roman interior design is the use of arches. Like vault designs that are more common on the exterior, this feature is
frequently modified to create interesting focal points in larger homes. You also see relief carvings in arches found within
homes. The most predominant in Roman design is the use of stalks and Acanthus leaves. You may also see figures
carved into some of these arches. White and light gray colors that mimic the lime concrete that the Romans are credited
with discovering are the most common colors that are applied for interior arch work, but some designers prefer to add
contrasting colors in rich earth tones. The use of vaults and arches serve two main purposes in interior design. These are
to create the illusion of depth and space, and in some cases, to render an ornate focal point in a room.
