The Early Christians were a brief civilization that took place from 300 to 800 C.E. After Constantine made Christianity the official language of the Roman Empire, they started to grow and make their own impact on architecture and interior design.
There first impact on modern times was the development of the basilica, which was in the shape of a cross.
Other architectural advances include features such as: centrally planned buildings, clerestory windows, and towers flanking exonarthex.

Furniture of the Early Christians was mostly focused on various types of seats, such as stools and thrones. They were also very focused on the use of paintings, murals, and frescos.
Early Christianity definitely had its own style and made an impact on religious buildings for the modern era.
