Voysey, who brought up the new idea using the living-room, endeavored to remove the drawing-room. However, the living-room, which generally has been used in the working classes, was not received the middle classes. Accordingly, he adopted the parlour which was multipurpose and ambiguous, and was used in the manor house. Voysey interpreted the traditional style in his own individual way.
