Magnify your interior with a baroque decor – several tips and impressive photos

Baroque made its appearance in the 17th century. It is essential in all branches of art and architecture. The style has since become an eternal trend. Today the baroque decor is often combined with other styles – shabby chic, bohemian, traditional or modern. But it always aims to highlight the high status and wealth of the owners. Its distinctive features are complexity, demonstration and pomp.

In order to adopt the Baroque style in your interior, there are some essential principles that you must take into account. Above all, the baroque makes an impression with its strong emphasis on valance, marquetry and crests. In the beginning, the color palette used includes bold shades like dark red or green. The lavish gold decoration is at the center of baroque trends. It is used to adorn furniture as well as all types of accessories – mirrors, picture frames, bedside lamps, candlesticks, pottery etc. Pastel colors spread later with the birth of the Rococo style which continues to be inspired by the Baroque.

If you admire the Baroque era and want to adopt this unique style in your interior, we come to your aid. Let’s take a look at all the key features and details to get a dazzling result:

Opt for a floor constructed from high-end materials – such as solid wood or marble.
Decorate the ceiling with images of putti (paintings or sculptures of a child) or plaster ornaments. Plant patterns are suitable for walls. You can see lots of ideas for decorating Baroque walls in the following article.
The furniture is distinguished by curved legs, sculpted details and an abundance of gilding. If you want to add a touch of Baroque fascination to your existing decor, consider small items like mirrors, console tables, bedside tables or coffee tables. Crystal chandeliers are a mandatory item.
You can also go for carved wood details matched with luxurious textiles for the upholstery of furniture, walls and windows. The most typical fabric is damask.
To soften the space, place large hand-woven rugs.

The decoration of the kitchen and the dining room. Even though this is a 17th century style, Baroque cuisine can feel modern. Just draw a parallel between the past and the present. In the typical Baroque sense, the key elements in the kitchen are the cabinets and the backsplash. Choose colors and designs that make the atmosphere majestic and massive. The most preferred combination for the color scheme – white / beige and gold. To add a contemporary touch, you can use metallic shades. Crystal chandeliers and lighting are also part of the baroque trend.

The wooden floor guarantees a warm atmosphere. The large windows provide enough natural light. The high ceiling increases the space in the room. The main element in the bedroom is the king size bed. By adding a piece of furniture or a valuable accessory – a well-proportioned chair or a huge mirror, you can turn every room into a royal corner..
