Interior in Ancient Rome

Ancient Romans always liked luxurious and spacious interior. They based their style on luxury, abundance, and beauty.
The floor in Ancient Roman empire was mosaic or made of marble.

If we watch attentively to the walls of Ancient cities of Rome. The houses inside had walls that were decorated with beautiful colourful drawings.

We can also notice that such animals as lions, eagles and other strong animals and plants prevail the decorative features of romans homes.

The big significance the pay to the details. Every element of furniture had to be decorated with different ornaments, incrustations or metal elements. Unfortunately, nowadays we can't see the wooden furniture of that period but we can see the furniture made from other materials such as marble or stones.

If you want to see real interior design of that period, you must check the pictures and paintings of Ancient authors. Thanks for your attention!!
