The Adam style was created by two brothers, [[Robert Adam|Adam]] and [[James Adam (architect)|James]], who published in 1777 a volume of etchings with interior ornamentation. In the interior decoration made after Robert Adam's drawings, the walls, ceilings, doors, and any other surface, are divided into big panels: rectangular, round, square, with [[stucco]]s and Greco-Roman motifs at the edges. Ornaments used include [[festoon]]s, pearls, [[egg-and-dart]] bands, [[Medallion (architecture)|medallions]], and any other motifs used during the [[Classical antiquity]] (especially the [[Etruscan architecture|Etruscan]] ones). Decorative fittings such as urn-shaped stone vases, gilded silverware, lamps, and stauettes all have the same source of inspiration, classical antiquity. The Adam style emphasizes refined rectangular mirrors, framed like paintings (in frames with stylised leafs), or with a [[pediment]] above them, supporting an urn or a medallion. Another design of Adam mirrors is shaped like a [[Venetian window]], with a big central mirror between two other thinner and longer ones. Another type of mirrors are the oval ones, usually decorated with festoons. The furniture in this style has a similar structure to [[Louis XVI furniture]].<ref>{{cite book |last1= Graur|first1=Neaga|title=Stiluri în arta decorativă|date=1970|publisher=Cerces|pages=253, 255 & 256|language=ro}}</ref>

Besides the Adam style, when it comes to decorative arts, England is also known for the ceramic manufacturer [[Josiah Wedgwood]] (1730–1795), who established a pottery called Etruria. Wedgwood ware is made of a material called [[jasperware]], a hard and fine-grained type of [[stoneware]]. Wedgwood vases are usually decorated with reliefs in two colours, in most cases the figures being white and the background blue.
