Tuscan architecture features and stereotypes
Here are some of the features and typicality of Tuscan architecture, that make it so special and renowned:
1) Buildings: The buildings are generally elegant but simple villas with clean lines and columns. Huge pillars supporting the gigantic structures characterize the outside. Today built with cement, these structures were built with strong stone in the olden days, thus keeping a very cool temperature inside.
2) Tuscan Rooms: The rooms are designed on the classical lines. They are typically designed with fireplaces, high ceilings, earthy oranges of maroon colors, with Tuscan furniture and paintings that create the ultimate Italian harmony.
3) Wall Treatment: Tuscan walls are generally textured with traditional Venetian and Stucco Plaster Effects, for both interiors and exteriors. The walls are a support to the rest of the architectural elements like paintings and flooring styles.
4) Interior Design and Furniture: Tuscan interiors are characterized by tapestries, gold ornate detailing, expensive china, colorful plates, stained glass, candle holders, wrought iron objects and heavily upholstered furniture made with expensive silks, velvets and leather.
5) Ceilings: Ceilings have stenciled borders, wooden beams and paneled ceilings that might have textured medallions etc. These are elevated by the presence of beautiful chandeliers.
6) Floors: Terracotta, mosaic and glazed ceramic, Italian marble that harmonize with the rest of the d cor. Generally tiles are inlayed with intricate patterns and designs.
Add all this to a picturesque location, a beautiful garden with a marble fountain, and your dream Tuscan villa is ready!
