Baroque is a design style that is bright, elaborate and grand. This is an interior decor look that is not for the shy. Baroque in the literal definition means irregular or contorted. This style originated in Italy around the 1600′s and the popularity of this style of decor has not diminished and is still in use in present day homes and a large number of architectural designs.
A Baroque piece or two will add a great accent to an otherwise drab room or make yourself an entire Baroque room. Twisted columns, large, irregular curves, elaborate scrolls, oversize moldings, and inlaid wood floor designs characterize the Baroque style. Think theater, domes and Italian architecture of the 1600′s.
Wood and marble designs and flecks of gold and silver here and there are hallmarks of the baroque decor style. Add an accent table with baroque elements to put up the tempo in your room. Add small touches of baroque around your room with the use of table runners, vases and more.
Go ahead, go baroque – you’ll love the look!
