Imagine Versailles, built by the order of the King of France Louis XIV, with its spacious halls, tapestries, carved wooden panels of massive oak and ceiling paintings, each of which is a separate work of art. Probably, everyone at least once wanted to imagine himself living in this temple of luxury and wealth, which embodies a true design in the Baroque style.
Nowadays, of course, it will not be possible to create anything similar, even if you spend a whole fortune on it, because such masters are no more. However, no one interferes with the use of the details inherent in the style of baroque in the interior and reproduce in his home the atmosphere inherent in that time.
If you are burning desire to feel yourself a member of the royal family, use the following tips when creating an apartment or house design in the Baroque style.
Natural colors and materials
It is clear to everyone that during the creation of this style, artificial materials simply did not exist, so you will have to do without them or find them such a good replacement, which only the experienced eye and from a close distance will distinguish. Nevertheless, it is desirable to still adhere to natural materials. One of the things that should not be forgotten: interior design in the Baroque style - quite expensive. And if you really choose what you want to save, then it's definitely not on materials.
And then, just imagine the interior of the bedroom in baroque style with velvet draperies on the walls, blankets of pure silk and carved wooden furniture. By the way, furniture does not have to be fantastically expensive, if in the foreground such fabrics. Now there are not so few companies that offer handmade furniture, even if not durable, but natural wood.
Colors also play a significant role. Design in the Baroque style involves intricate, complex colors. They should be bright and saturated. The walls are usually dark - this can be the color of aged red wine or golden patterns on a background of dark blue, almost black. By the way, the motives of gold are very characteristic for baroque, because it embodies the wealth that is so eager to emphasize this style.
Delicate pastel colors are not in honor here, although they can be applied at skill. In this case, the furniture should impress, surprise, attract attention with interesting carving, and accessories - with its exotic costliness and originality.
Furniture items and lighting
As already mentioned, all furniture should be made of wood, preferably dark. It is warmly welcomed to use such additional accents as ivory, precious and semiprecious stones (especially crystal). Of metals, only copper, gold and silver are suitable, if they do not have enough funds, it is better to do without them at all. Also a prerequisite for furniture - it must be heavy, massive. Returning to the design of the baroque bedroom, which is one of the most revealing, it is worth emphasizing that the bed should look like it was made for ages. Of course, ideally, it should be one in fact.
Lighting is another important detail for the Baroque. Bright fluorescent lamps will spoil the whole atmosphere. Lighting should be soft, almost intimate, completing the rest of the atmosphere. If you want to achieve full authenticity, instead of the usual chandeliers, you can use candelabra with candles or their modern analogues - lamps that look almost the same, but they can be plugged into the outlet and do not worry about the wax drops on the surface of the furniture so lovingly selected.
