The Edwardian period, from 1901 to 1910, was short and heavily influenced by The Arts and Crafts Movement, a movement which promoted simple design and an appreciation for the handmade. This was a stark contrast to the mass production that was seen throughout the Victorian period.
Following the boom in property construction during the Victorian era, Edwardian architecture brought around houses which were mainly built in the suburbs, introducing the idea of ‘garden suburbs’ which created a greater focus on outdoor space and privacy. Therefore, many Edwardian homes are set back from the street and benefit from beautiful front gardens.
Unlike the smaller, darker Victorian homes, Edwardian houses were more squat, wider and larger, with bigger hallways and more windows to allow in plenty of natural light. Internally, they are known for ornate decorative details, including floor tiles, stained glass windows and wood flooring, as well as large rooms with high ceilings. Living rooms would also often benefit from a dual aspect with windows at both ends, covered by a small sloping roof on the outside.
The Edwardian period ended abruptly with the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. After the end of the war, the Interwar Period covered the 1920s and 1930s, leading up to the Second World War in 1939.
