Theosophical Design
The interior decor of the Spalding home was typically late-Victorian. References to
classical antiquity are mixed with ornate, manufactured domestic furniture items. This
mixture of furnishings is a sharp contrast to the deeply-carved geometry of the doorjambs
and the whitewashed purity of the interior dome.
An important component of Theosophical Design was to move in the direction of the arts and
crafts reform and a rejection of the overly-decorated interior. Several designers in the
emerging modernist movement, such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandisky, were influenced
by Theosophy.
