How to create a rococo style in the interior?

This style appeared at the very beginning of the 17th century, in France during the reign of King Louis XV (1715–1723). And the most striking example of the interior is the Palace of Versailles. The elegant and exotic rococo style is also directly related to the ancient culture of Pompeii and Ancient Rome. Many designers compare the playfulness of Rococo with the Baroque style, but this is rather a frivolous interpretation, because in fact, there are few common features between them.
