Rococo Revival: How to Bring This Whimsical Trend into Your Home

The Rococo style, which originated in 18th-century France, is defined by its ornate details, curvaceous forms, gilded finishes, and romantic motifs. It’s a decorative style that leans playful and elegant, often incorporating pastel tones, floral elements, and sculptural accents. In recent months, this historically lavish aesthetic has made a quiet comeback—reimagined for the modern home.

As an interior designer, I love seeing Rococo used in small, impactful ways that complement rather than overwhelm a space. To incorporate the look without a full redesign, try adding a gilded mirror, a floral-patterned tray, or a lamp with carved detailing.

Pairing Rococo pieces with contemporary furniture can create a striking balance between old-world charm and modern simplicity. Whether it’s a baroque frame on your gallery wall or a scrolled sconce in your hallway, a touch of Rococo adds instant romance and refinement.
