The Czechoslovak Room is a folk style inspired design with carved larchwood beams and botanical paintings that evoke a farmhouse appeal. Supplementing the nature inspired illustrations are miracle trees painted upon the alcove walls and the rear wall, and also created in intarsia upon the door.
Contrasted to these designs are portraits of various reformers in the Czech and Slovak histories: men who reformed the religion, languages, alphabet, and national organization of the people.
