The innovations made in the Hôtel Tassel would mark the style and approach for most of Horta's later townhouses, including the Hôtel van Eetvelde, the Hôtel Solvay and the architects own house and 'atelier'. These houses were expensive to construct and only affordable by the 'haute-bourgeoisie'. For this reason the pure architectural innovations were not largely followed by other architects.

In tune with the public mood, after some ten years designing in the Art Nouveau style that he pioneered and for which his is best known, from the turn of the century Horta's designs gradually started to become simplified and less flamboyant, with more classical references.
