Furnishings and Design in the Regency Period |

Ackermann's Repository of the Arts displayed in its periodicals, from 1809-1829, the epitome of British fashion in all fields of endeavour.
It did not neglect the design of household furnishings, and I offer the following examples of their illustrations. |

| In home furnishings, as in all else, Ackermann's was in the fore-front of design and fashion. |

|
| |
| Architects, designers, stylists and creators of the Regency era had a multitude of elements from which to choose: |
|
|
|
|
Egyptian |
 |
|
|
 |
Chinoiserie |
Classical |
Gothic |
Adamesque |
| |
|
|
|
Georgian and Regency Rooms
Generally, the designers' choice of design elements led to the creation of beautiful rooms: |
