The Neoclassical style at a glance
Neoclassicism emerged in the 18th century as a reaction against the excesses of the Baroque. It draws on Greek and Roman antiquity: columns, pediments, marble busts and sober motifs. The palette is light, between pale gray, cream and off-white, and furniture is arranged with strict symmetry. Ornament exists but stays measured, giving a calm, stately elegance.
To adopt it, choose furniture with straight lines and tapered legs, a console or fireplace as the focal point, and a few antique-inspired objects. Fabrics are plain or finely striped, and colors stay pale. Redeko turns a photo of your room into a neoclassical version while keeping its structure, so you can see this measured elegance at home in seconds.
Neoclassical style suits living rooms, entryways and dining rooms. It sits close to classic and Regency styles, and lends any room a sense of order and calm. A pair of matching urns on a console is a simple way to start.
