Rococo decorum in architecture is a decorative and ornate style that emerged in mid-18th century France. It is characterized by the use of pastel colors, intricate and delicate ornamentation, and asymmetrical designs. Rococo architecture is known for its use of curving forms, elaborate decoration, and attention to detail. Common features include pilasters, arches, and columns decorated with elaborately carved ornamentation, such as shell motifs, scrolls, and foliage. The Rococo style is often associated with the luxurious and extravagant interiors of French palaces and aristocratic homes, where it was used to create a sense of opulence and grandeur.
