I just finished drywalling, painting and trimming out this room. It used to be a 3-season porch, but now it’s part of the house with heat, a/c and insulation. The windows were installed by another contractor, and I was called in to finish the interior.
The customer (in this case, my sister and brother-in-law) wanted custom trim and we came up with the style you see here.
What architectural style would this be called? Craftsman? Colonial? I just copied a style that I’ve seen on homes from the early part of the (last) century, but I don’t know what it’s called.

It would fit in with Craftsman.
The wainscot and trim forms are Arts & Crafts, but the colors are not. Painted trim would only have been used in bathrooms and kitchens. The wall color is too pure, too far away from an earth tone to be Arts & Crafts, but would be more like English Colonial. Can lights are neither, of course.
Nice workmanship!
Double take city, man - that layout, particularly the bank of 6 windows, looks almost exactly like my sunroom. On closer inspection, though, yours doesn't appear to have been constructed by a troop of baboons, which is something that some features of my sunroom bring to mind.
