The layout of an Arts & Craft interior was largely dictated by common sense and a drive for simplicity. Interiors featured an open floor plan of airy rooms with simple surfaces of plaster and wood. Living and dining rooms are often divided by low wood and glass partitions rather than walls. This created long site lines that created the illusion that the house was larger than it actually was. It is not uncommon to be able to see completely through an Arts & Crafts house from front to back.

A review of the Arts and Crafts movement & its main variations: Arts & Crafts, Bungalow, American Craftsman, Mission, & Prairie Style by Morris, Stickley, Roycroft, Tiffany, Mackintosh, FL Wright, etc

Appropriately enough, the first home we toured during the Iconic Houses Conference is actually the oldest of the bunch, and is filled with endless handcrafted details that make it the most challenging to preserve.
