(Louis XV st.) - Also known as Louis Quinze or Rocaille, this style followed the traditions of French décor, until it took on a life and look of its own with decorations and motifs becoming more exuberant. The style was heavily influenced by the mistress of Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour, and marked the beginning of the Rococo movement. In his old age, from 1750 – 1774, Louis XV showed more signs of constraint in his design style and this period showed more signs of French Neoclassicism.

(Venetian st.) - Venice is one of the most enchanting and magical cities in the world. Built on a lagoon and founded in 421, Venice was a prosperous center for trade and home to the world’s largest port and housed over 200,000 residents. Venice was known for its unique style, which inspired many trends with the incorporation of the artist’s creative spirit. Known as a city for lavish parties, gambling, and excess, Venice was a place for the European elite to see and be seen. The key to the signature Venetian style is the mixture of global influences. Decorating your home with a mixture of artwork and accessories from your own personal travels will aid in achieving the Venetian look. Elaborately carved mirrors, celestial themes, antique lamps and sconces, Venetian plaster walls, and an elegant crystal chandelier can help complete and elevate your space.
