Everyone knows that Birmingham is the second largest city in England, that there is a famous university, as well as a museum with a remarkable collection of painting and applied art, and also an interior exhibition, which takes place once a year at the National Exhibition Center.

The inhabitants of Birmingham are proud of the fact that these places are associated with the name of Shakespeare: just 35 kilometers from here is the city of Stratford-upon-Avon, where the great writer was born. In England, everything is close by. (There is an ancient castle, and there archaeologists found Celtic gold.) The main landmarks of English culture, whole eras from the Celts to Queen Victoria; everything is close, everything is alive, and ... everything serves as a fertile ground for a modern interior.

This was shown by Interiors UK, where a whole range of styles and historical associations were presented. And, of course, it was not without Shakespeare: in the installation of the FRANK HUDSON factory, there was a bed in стили Тюдоровdecorated with carvings in the form of vines, flowers and poetic lines, and next to it, on the cabinet, stood the bust of their author. Furnishing of living rooms in стили Тюдоров It was demonstrated at the stand of the factory BYLAW. In her interpretation, this is a chamber style adapted to today. (Such furniture is easy to imagine in a modern country house.) And at the stand Duresta could be observed and Victorian striped sofas and armchairs in the style of Louis in modern upholstery, shining with all the colors of the rainbow.

English interior textile is a separate topic. At the exhibition there were also double-sided velvet fabrics with different patterns on each side, and striped silk and chinoiserie flowers, and even a fabric with an original pattern of Victorian chandeliers with pendants. However, the Victorian chandeliers themselves were also presented in a separate room. In particular, with pendants "vice versa", "growing upwards", like stalagmites. This is England, gentlemen!
