Much of the wood in Tudor homes was made to look a bit distressed, as if it had been there for years.
Large fireplaces made of stone were popular in Tudor homes.
Some Tudor homes had half timbering on the interior ceilings.
Dark wood paneling is often seen inside Tudor homes.
Wood interior doors are a common feature of Tudor homes.
White plaster was often used on the walls and ceilings of Tudor homes.
Tapestries were a common decoration used in Tudor homes.
Area rugs were often used in Tudor homes to make the cold floors more appealing.
The Tudor arch was used in doorways, doors and windows.
The linen fold, the Tudor rose, the thistle and the Fleur-de-lis were common symbols found in Tudor homes. Often those symbols were carved in the paneling, carved into wood furniture, woven into tapestries or incorporated into the rug designs.
