Styles in interior design
broken curves; intimate
Rococo interiors
suppress architectonic
divisions of architrave,
frieze and cornice for
the picturesque, the
curious, and the whimsical, expressed in plastic materials like carved wood and above all stucco
(as in the work of the Wessobrunner School). Walls, ceiling, furniture, and works of metal and
porcelain present a unified ensemble. The Rococo palette is softer and paler than the rich primary
colors and dark tonalities favored in Baroque tastes.
