a theme used to create a sense ofunity in a room
reflects popular style of an historical period, i.e.,
American Country or Victorian
design styles evolve like fashion, but more slowly
current styles are more eclectic, mixing styles from different historicalperiods (known as revival styles)

the space and combine to create a balance of unity & variety.
