When decorating a living room in the French Baroque style, just imagine the Disney movie, "Beauty and the Beast." The decor of the Beast's mansion was completely designed in the French Baroque interior design motif. These tips help to decorate a living room in the French Baroque style.
Instructions
1. Choose warm colors. A color palette that includes golds, peaches, reds, browns, and a small amount of black will certainly be descriptive of the French Baroque period. Curved scrolling woodwork, paisleys, stripes, and bold floral patterns will bring a bold and rich texture and pattern to the living room design.
2. Add furniture. Leather or upholstered fabrics with rounded lines and embellished hardware studs will bring the fanciful French Baroque couches, love seats, and accent chairs to a whole new level. Richly textured furniture and wood bookcases, writing desks, dark wicker chests, and serving carts all add romantic elements to the French Baroque interior design.
3. Select soft furnishings. Satin, silk, faux fur, and velvet can all be used to create dramatic draperies and window treatments. White porcelain, gilded artwork, and crystal chandeliers are must haves for a French Baroque living room design.
