Karl Friedrich Schinkel is one of my heroes !!
Look at one of his rooms done about 1826 for the Charlottenhof Palace, Potsdam, Germany

Look at that green!!!
Neo-Classical Colours and inspiration - taken from my book 'Creating the French Look'
This style of decoration takes the classical themes from ancient Greece and Rome.
It is simple and symmetrical
( as against the pastel coloured, romantic, sometimes flowery twiddly asymmetry of the rococo style)
This is a room by David Hicks the English interior decorator from a room that was probably done in the 1960s or 70s yet it is timeless - could have been yesterday as could have the Schinkel bedroom.
Neo-classical is the way to go
Inspiring!
