Illustrated with gorgeous photographs and filled with wonderful suggestions for using classical architectural details, furniture, fabrics, and accessories, this volume captures the exquisite Neoclassical style while making it easy to recreate the look in your home.

Review

Rooted in the graceful forms of antiquity, the dignified lines of neoclassical style offered a restrained alternative to the flowery opulence of rococo in the late 1700s, and its timelessness has made it a favorite again today. "Like fashion's little black dress," says this informative guide, "Neoclassicism is ever in style." The idea-filled text and lovely photographs of striking modern interpretations of neoclassical design serve as tremendous inspiration for evoking the style in your own home. Create an arched, columned room entryway; add a trompe l'oeil frieze in paint or wallpaper; swag a subtly striped fabric over a side table; stencil a Greek key design; install some dentil crown molding; or choose from among the vast array of attractive contemporary furnishings patterned after the classical style. Neoclassical offers a nice overview of the style's origins and a great deal of practical advice for re-creating the look, even on a classically restrained budget. --Amy Handy
