The Adam style is characterized by classical Roman motifs used decoratively on architectural interiors and furniture. It featured flat painted panels, pilasters, and pastel color schemes. Two iconic buildings designed by Adam in this style were Osterley Park House near London and Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire. Both had neoclassical interiors with columns, decorative plasterwork, and sky lit central halls inspired by Roman designs. Adam's innovative approach integrated architecture, interiors, and furniture into unified neoclassical schemes.
In the early 18th century , countries vied with each other to expand their empires and the aristrocracy emphasized its position with lavish displays of wealth and luxury.
ROCOCO STYLE:-
Pieces of furniture were smaller, lighter, and more curvaceous in form than earlier styles, often with curved cabriole legs and pad or claw and ball feet.
Free standing tables no longer had cross strechers and pedestal legs were replaced by cabriole legs with a double s- curve.
During the early 18th century Georgian period in England, interior design evolved from the Baroque style. Interiors became lighter and featured new woods like mahogany. Furniture accumulated in rooms for decorative purposes, including bookshelves, porcelain collections, and busts from the Grand Tour. Wallpapers became popular in bedrooms while paneling remained in other rooms. To house the growing middle class, architects developed terraced housing and town squares that brought nature into cities through lawns, trees and flowers. Interior architectural details like plasterwork and broken pediments became more ornate.

Robert Adam introduced a new interpretation of classical architecture in the late 18th century that combined classical features with colorful decorations. He designed circular and oval rooms with classical plasterwork on walls and ceilings and painted colors. Adam drew inspiration from archaeological discoveries at Pompeii and Herculaneum. Neoclassical style furniture became more geometric and inspired by classical motifs, featuring designs by Hepplewhite and Sheraton that were simpler versions of Adam's original designs. Textiles prominently featured printed designs of classical motifs and patterns inspired by Eastern imports.
The building began construction in the late 16th century and has since undergone several renovations and changes in ownership.
