The Arts and Crafts movement focused on functionality and the belief things were meant to be used. While the philosophy seems to put decades of fabulously boring furniture, it was quite the opposite.

What color should I paint my living room?

The things I can not change are the windows that have a lot of orange, tile fireplace has a lot of shades of green tile, my juke box is orange and not I have oak / fireplace mantle in an arts and crafts home. Currently I have red walls and now I'm ready for a change .. thank you very much
