Rhode Island: Interior Design Inspired by Mansions
Rhode Island offers the excitement of city life, rural tranquility, approximately 400 miles of spectacular coastline, and the beautiful, historic Newport mansions and gardens.
Interior design school students in Rhode Island may draw inspiration and design ideas from the Victorian architecture, furniture, wallpapers, and stenciling in the Newport mansions. Some Victorian designs might include:
- Achieving a balance of color and texture between the walls, molding, ceiling, and woodwork.
- Creating texture by using wallpaper, stenciling, and paint finishes such as marbleizing, or sponging.
Interior designers can often borrow from old design ideas and be successful. Interior design school students can learn how to balance designs from the Victorian era with present-day needs.
