Description:
Rooted in the graceful forms of antiquity, the dignified lines of neoclassical style offered a restrained alternative to the flowery opulence of rococo in the late 1700s, and its timelessness has made it a favorite again today. "Like fashion's little black dress," says this informative guide, "Neoclassicism is ever in style." The idea-filled text and lovely photographs of striking modern interpretations of neoclassical design serve as tremendous inspiration for evoking the style in your own home. Create an arched, columned room entryway; add a trompe l'oeil frieze in paint or wallpaper; swag a subtly striped fabric over a side table; stencil a Greek key design; install some dentil crown molding; or choose from among the vast array of attractive contemporary furnishings patterned after the classical style. Neoclassical offers a nice overview of the style's origins and a great deal of practical advice for re-creating the look, even on a classically restrained budget. --Amy Handy
