Finish this off with warm, rich and royal colours, and you’ll capture the taste for the conventional and lavish England. However, if you are looking for specific inspiration then casting your mind to the Tudor period is assured to start your creative flow.

In fact, this is an era that coincided with the Renaissance period, and this offers huge scope in the form of art and adornments. There are some fantastic portraits created by well-known artists of the time, with the Mona Lisa being one of the most famous masterpieces of this period. If you truly want to capture the historic feel in your home then you should definitely take a look online for wall art from the Renaissance era.

And finally, this post would not be complete without mentioning the utilisation of wood. Embrace deep  and inviting shades of this material. Wood is used to dramatic effect because not only does it literally add warmth to the room in which it is placed, but the dark shades create an air of mystery, intrigue, and depth. Paneling is the most effective way to use wood when taking a trip back in time.
