If you want to sound more romantic than Versailles, call it Nymphenburg.

Rococo me Amadeus.

“The Rococo developed as a reaction against the grandeur, symmetry and strict regulations of the Baroque, especially that of the Palace of Versailles. In such a way, Rococo artists opted for a more jocular, florid and graceful approach to Baroque art and architecture. Rococo was ornate and made strong usage of creamy, pastel-like colours, asymmetrical designs, curves and gold. Unlike the more politically focused Baroque, the Rococo had more playful and often witty artistic themes. With regards to interior decoration, Rococo rooms were designed as total works of art” (wikipedia)

  2. Rococo was always my favorite….cannot get more refined than this….and thought about the name too…very subtle…colors and shapes are singing along…the architectural frames dissolved…similar to gothic in defying gravity…at the same time it has so much sugar in it….at times feels like too much…
