Baroque style originated in Rome, Italy in the 17th century and spread throughout most of Europe. Its ornate, highly detailed look inspired paintings, sculptures, and architecture that still has a relevant place in design today. Its dramatic elegance has inspired other styles (such as Rococo), but its original form is still a popular aesthetic found in contemporary spaces.

The glamour of the Baroque is hard to mistake. It harnesses a classic beauty that can add a touch of charm to any space, often regardless of the main style present in the room. Even one piece in Baroque style can add a lot of character. Take a look at these modern examples of Baroque decor to get an idea of how timeless and inspiring this style truly is.
