The Georgian style was not born as an independent one, but a mixture of several different foreign styles. This combination of styles from which the best fragments were borrowed resulted in a classic English design with its characteristic severity of symmetry of straight and free lines and refined sophistication. It should be noted that in the Georgian style, Chinese and Gothic trends are very clearly traced. A distinctive feature of the Georgian style is the classic decorative elements - plinths, pilasters and light elegant decorations. Practicality is very characteristic of Georgianism as a whole, which is actually reflected in the interior design - much attention is paid to windows and fireplaces (heat and daylight) as well as mirrors (reflection of the glow of candles from the sun's rays).

The Georgian style, in its own way, is very beautiful and original, it is distinguished by its severity of the facade. The windows, no matter what type of building, are always made large. Over time, identical houses with terraces appeared, with a garden in which it is convenient to live within the city.

This design has two advantages - saving space, the open part does not "invade" the room, as well as the optimal ventilation mode in a damp climate. Each frame of a simple sash is divided by a grid into square sections of glass; a single element is called a muntin, glazing bar or sash bar, and the inner cells are lights or lites, which can be translated as “eyes”. Those who have been to London will probably remember the luxurious English windows for the creations of Christopher Wren.

In early 20th century Edwardian architecture, the design of the English window became airier than the paint, the multi-part binding was significantly reduced due to the mass production of glass.

We can say that this is a democratic version of the Palladian style that was used in England at the same time in stately residences. Georgian windows    https://chameleon-decorators.co.uk/blog/georgian-windows/    the style is serious, sometimes it looks even pompous, but at the same time it is quite simple. These are the houses that make up London. Georgian is the urban English style of modern Britain. The Georgian style can be traced even with its bold modifications. Most often, it is this style that is implied by our compatriots when they mention the English style. A lot of practice has led to free composition. The architects paid attention to the internal comfort of the house and the variety of social roles of the residents. Less attention was paid to the external attractiveness of the house, the Palladian and, in general, Italian order canons began to be supplanted in favor of a convenient layout.
