Baroque style in the interior
The rules of creating the interior in the Baroque style
Simple inexpensive furniture does not fit well with the Baroque style, especially if it is a guest. This does not mean that the furniture must be expensive. The acquisition of discounted chairs, dressers, tables and imitation of them for an expensive finish will never go out of fashion.
The interior looks good table with curved legs, varnished. Its cost is much lower than a high-tech table with a glass top and chrome-plated, decorated legs. Do not chase the price. The design of the room will be well combined with plastic furniture, imitated by an expensive gold, platinum, fringe finish.

Designers divide the Baroccan style into two types: Glambarocco and Neo-Baroque. By design, these types are similar, because the decoration in the rooms is done in bright colors using different contrasts with the same materials.

Having decided once to design in the Baroque style, do not forget about the need for interior carving and stucco. In the form of decorations, they will perfectly fit into a modern interior.
For the walls of the Baroque style is not characterized by uniformity. Without various inserts, universal decor, stucco, columns and curb, the interior looks dull and unfinished. It is recommended to use plaster, wallpaper on textile basis, painted and varnished panels of wood as finishing materials.
Tip: choosing, for example, a baroque-style chair in an apartment, you can purchase a plastic model. But to underline the modernity and classics of style, it is desirable to add elaborate and ornate elements.
To display all the charms of the Baroque, you need to make the ceiling a continuation of a beautifully decorated wall, with different contrast with it. A special feature of Baroque designs is the fresco ceiling. Modern interpretation allows replacing the fresco with prints of stretch ceiling structures.
