ROCOCO: THE ORIGINS<\/strong>
The Rococo<\/strong> style was born in France in the early decades of the 1700s, a period in which a sense of refinement<\/strong> developed less sumptuous than that of past eras. The term derives from the French rocaille<\/strong>, which is a type of decoration made with rocks and shells, used purely to embellish<\/strong>.
This new artistic current represents an evolution<\/strong> of the Baroque<\/strong> and soon spread throughout Europe, including Italy. The cities of the Peninsula most influenced by this rapidly growing movement are Naples, Turin and Venice<\/strong>. The latter had an autonomous development<\/strong>, constituting a real last great flowering<\/strong> of Italian Rococo.

THE ROCOCO STYLE IN THE FURNISHINGS<\/strong>
This decorative style is characterized by sinuous lines<\/strong> and details that embellish the furniture. The rococo style in the furniture<\/strong> is certainly flashy<\/strong>, but never heavy<\/strong> and vulgar<\/strong>.
Proportions<\/strong> take on greater importance and new types of furniture are born. What immediately catches the eye in the furniture of those years is the dedication<\/strong> to everything related to the decoration of objects. The surfaces are covered with fine lacquers<\/strong>, applied to woods<\/strong> with a long processing behind them.
There is no shortage of golden inserts<\/strong> and floral references<\/strong>, perfectly in line with the trend to make the margins curvilinear<\/strong> and dynamic<\/strong>. <\/p>","testo_b":"

HOW TO FURNISH IN FULL ROCOCO STYLE: FURNITURE AND DETAILS

<\/strong>Furniture
<\/em><\/strong>It is possible to adopt the Rococo style of furniture in the various rooms of the house, thus obtaining an elegant<\/strong> effect, with strong references to the artistic traditions of the past<\/strong>.
The first image that comes to mind when it comes to eighteenth-century furniture is certainly that of a decorated living room<\/strong>, with curved chairs and tables<\/strong> and numerous carvings. All the furniture is made of precious woods<\/strong>, such as cherry or ebony. The seat covers<\/strong> are normally made of silk<\/strong> or velvet<\/strong>, also embellished with naturalistic motifs. It is important that the choice of tones conveys brilliance<\/strong>, so as to convey liveliness.
Certainly, even the room<\/strong> in rococo style of furniture makes a worthy impression. The bed<\/strong>, the protagonist of the scene, is typically made in light tones<\/strong> and conveys sumptuousness<\/strong> thanks to the purely curved structure. Curtains<\/strong> should have drapery<\/strong> and be heavy enough.

Ins and outs
<\/strong><\/em>The furniture inspired by the Rococo style<\/strong> is elevated if you can insert the details<\/strong>. In fact, as in every aspect, the details are what make the difference, which make something unique.
If we decide to approach furniture in an eighteenth-century way, tending to Venetian<\/strong>, references to that era as distant as it is fascinating cannot be missing. The Venetian accessories of Original Venice Shop<\/strong><\/a> are an example: typically Venetian objects<\/strong> , with which you can give impetus<\/strong> to your home, made exclusively by Venetian masters.
<\/strong>You will be spoiled for choice between screen prints<\/strong>, embossed prints<\/strong> or vases<\/strong>, all united by the rococo style. Glass goblets<\/strong>, handmade in Murano according to the traditional Murano glass technique, are just one example of the unique ornaments<\/strong> that can be purchased.
It is necessary to ensure that the decorations chosen alternate between more essential features and more complex and articulated elements.<\/p>","foto_articolo":[],"guest_o_libero":"Old","prezzo":"","chiara":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1580"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58893"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58894,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58893\/revisions\/58894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
