What Is Neoclassical Style?
This is a style that has its origins in the 18th century when artists and philosophers craved for classics, moderation and elegance. They were looking for quite neutral color schemes, symmetry and architectural details without the excessive styling of Rococo.

How To Style A Neoclassical Living Room?
Start from the colors: choose neutrals or go for black and white, the more classic colors you use, the better. Don’t forget mixed metals or brass or gold, these will add a shiny touch to the interior. Molding on the walls or ceiling is optional but it will be great if you use it. Choose elegant curved furniture (this is a huge trend right now), don’t clutter the space with it. Consider matching chairs placed symmetrically and a large fireplace with a mirror over it. Elegant glass or marble coffee and side tables are right what you need, and to crown it all, hang a fantastic crystal chandelier and some vintage art. Voila!
