Mission Style is a design movement that originated in the late 19th century, primarily in the United States. It is characterized by its simple, sturdy furniture and handcrafted details, often made from oak or other hardwoods. The style emphasizes functionality and craftsmanship, reflecting the Arts and Crafts movement's ideals. The aesthetic of Mission Style is marked by clean lines, flat surfaces, and a lack of excessive ornamentation. Common features include exposed joinery, square or rectangular shapes, and muted earth tones. This style is often associated with the Mission Revival architecture that draws inspiration from Spanish missions in California.
