• Much attention is paid to stucco decorations in the form of curved forms, cups of amurists, sea shells. Complement the decoration fabric wallpaper. If the walls are painted, it is necessary to use individual silk elements;
• The floor is made of wood or ceramics imitating natural marble. If preference is given to the parquet, it is better to stop the choice on a small piece with decoration. In this case, the shape of the ceramic tile or parquet board may be arbitrary. To strengthen the overall impression, it is recommended to use glossy surfaces. The carpet covering is widely used, which closes almost the entire floor indoors;

• In a modern interior for room lighting, a chandelier with rather elegant light bulbs stylized under candles. Crystal suspensions are an indispensable addition to the chandelier.

However, all these items will look inappropriate, if you do not take care of such an important element as Furniture Rococo. 

What should be the furniture in the style of Rococo 

The main difference of style from predecessors is to refuse direct lines.

• Bronze linings occupy a special place in decorating. Wooden surfaces are thoroughly grinding and covered with colored varnish. The final stroke becomes bronze decoration. But, the carving is used quite rarely; 
• Characteristic furniture for this style are secretaries, a peculiar combination of the chest and a written table with built-in countersunk boxes. By the way, there are exclusively female variants of secretaries with curved legs. The ladies of the future were decorated with decorative tables with mirrors, cardboard brothers, special cabinets for papers, bedside tables and puffs; 
• Inherent, a beeper style, a soft deep armchair with curved legs, or canapes, a chair, more similar to a sofa with a sufficiently high headboard;
• Upholstered furniture must be as comfortable as possible, adapted for the highest relaxation and pleasure;
• Performed soft furniture Rococo from rocks of red wood, linden, nut, applying female curved lines. Parce, velvet, skin used as a upholstery. Therefore, more appropriately, such wardrobe items look in the bedroom or living room;
• Bulky furniture items are not completely combined with style. Sofa, chairs, lockers should be small and fragile externally.
