Consider Rococo In The Kitchen

An example of a flooring job.Image via Wikipedia

by Jefferson Bowing

The elegance of Rococo art has been sought after in design since its onset in the 1800's. This French element looks lovely in any room of your home. Rococo pieces are readily available in modern accessories as well as traditional antiquities. One excellent location to use this design element is a breakfast nook.

Create the full affect of the 19th century Rococo look when you are enjoying a nice delicious croissant. You can get this look and feel from your home and not at an expensive restaurant. There are a few tips to help you create the look and feel of the Mediterranean without traveling anywhere.

The term Rococo is derived from a combination of the French rocaille, referring to arrangements of stone in natural patterns and the Italian barocco, referring to Baroque art. These terms combine beautifully to describe every element of this art form. This allows modern society a clearer view of the choices made by Rococo artists when they implemented the hard natural aspects of iron and stone in such a light airy manner. This understanding can also make your decorating choices easier.

If you are ready to create this look in your home here are a few suggestions. When picking out fixtures and furnishings you want to choose light wood. Try light oak or a white wash. You may also want to use this light wood on your flooring as well. Even though the traditional look of the 19th century France was natural stone flooring you can still create a Rococo room and use wood flooring.

You want to keep the accessories on the same theme. It's easy to find accessories that go hand in hand with the Mediterranean look. Try using wide curves that resemble shells or waves. Stone and cast iron decor are also a popular look of the French design.

When decorating your room you want to use the following colors combined: yellow, blue, red, white, and pink. Don't stick to one color but instead combine them together to create the look you are searching for. You want to use these colors from furniture to table runners.

Adding an area rug is a great way to combine all the colors together and achieve the look you are after. You will need to use a hard wood floor or a stone floor to get the complete look. Although this look of stone or wood is great it can make the floor cold so you can add an area rug to make the floor warmer.

Rococo is such a wonderful art to design your room around. Filling your home with classic elements like fixtures, furnishings, and accessories that hint at the beauty of the Mediterranean will brighten your life. This makes Rococo the right design choice for a breakfast nook or any other room of your home. Your room will no longer be just a room. It will be a work of art.
