Neoclassical style is defined by elegance, proportion and restraint. It is more modest than the ornate Rococo style that preceded it, with clean lines and a controlled sense of luxury. In Britain, architect Robert Adam helped popularize a refined neoclassical language inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Today neoclassical interiors are loved for their timeless elegance. Here are the most important features of this style and the lifestyle associated with it.
