Oliver Impey says that after the Renaissance, the design of the rooms of European monarchs and aristocrats was usually directed by an architect. The main type of wall decoration was wood paneling and gilded leather, with tapestries and silk embroidery to create a warm effect.
英匹博士表示，文藝復興以後，歐洲王公貴族之家的室內裝潢，通常由建築師主導；牆面裝飾主要有鑲板、鑲皮，或掛上織錦壁毯、絲繡以營造溫暖的效果。
