What Is Colonial Style?

Colonial, that most traditional of American styles, is again in vogue. Admired for its simple lines and rich, subdued colors, it emphasizes woods and other natural materials. Whether formal or rustic, Colonial-style interiors have one unifying thread: the look of handcrafting in every element.

For a cozy homespun touch, fill a tall glass vase with balls of colored yarn. Pair them with wooden spools -- some placed in a vase, others fashioned into candlesticks.
