The Neo-classical style is traditional and formal and it originated from the influence of ancient Greece and Rome (and Egypt to a degree).
The Neo-classical look is a fresh and clean, not fussy, while at the same time it is formal, dignified and classic.
Popular accessories are urns, mythological figures, Greek style vases, Greek and Roman artwork and Greek style busts and sculptures.
Symmetrical balance is an important element of Neo-classical decorating.

Common architectural elements within a Neo-classical designed home are columns, archways, crown moldings, rosettes and ceiling medallions. Rich elegant fabrics in silks, velvets and brocades are used and predominate colors are gold, black and red.
Marble (or faux finished marble) is a popular flooring choice as are tile and wood or parquet. Marble, stone tile or faux finished marble paint are popular on walls.
Furnishings are normally in light woods and can have simple lines, however, furnishings can also be quite ornate with curvy lines and ornate detailing.
Cream and natural color fabrics are very common within this style and other colors that are used within this style are reds, yellows, golds and greens. Additionally, Egyptian or Greek motifs can be used either in fabrics or on wall coverings. Window coverings are normally sheer, light and airy fabrics that hang symmetrically.
