The Edwardian era (1901-1910) in British architecture marked the advent of the modern domestic house. The height and heaviness of the prior Victorian era were rejected in favour of wide, more informal houses with lighter, more delicate prints on fabrics and furniture. One could now access gardens directly from living spaces. Houses now had bathrooms, on the first floor; and kitchens moved up to the ground floor. #mansion #edwardian #british #victorian #grand #house
