Baroque meets whimsy. Old-world charm meets modern flair. At Petibaroque, decorating is more than just styling a space — it’s about storytelling. Whether you're working with our custom Renaissance pet portraits or our ornate mirrors and vintage-style décor, it's easy to create a look that’s timeless, playful, and utterly enchanting.
Here are our top Do’s and Don’ts for decorating the Petibaroque way.
✅ DO: Mix Old with New
Pair our baroque-style frames and vintage cushions with sleek modern furniture. A velvet artwork cushion with a classical painting looks even more striking on a minimalist linen sofa. The contrast highlights the drama of the Baroque while keeping your space grounded and updated.
❌ DON’T: Overcrowd the Room
Yes, we love maximalism — but there’s an art to it. Instead of filling every inch of your wall or surface, curate. Choose key pieces: a custom pet portrait in a gold frame, a few cherub wall sculptures, and a mini baroque gallery wall. Let each piece breathe and shine.
✅ DO: Create Moments
Think of your home as a series of little galleries. That oval gold mirror in the hallway? Add a French-style urn vase beside it. A baroque jewelry stand on the vanity? Highlight it with soft lighting and a scattering of pearls. Create stories in every nook.
❌ DON’T: Forget Function
Even the most ornate pieces should serve a purpose. That ornate bird wall hook? It’s charming and perfect for hanging your dog’s leash. That art throw pillow? It’s an art piece you can nap on. Style smartly.
✅ DO: Personalize with Portraits
Our custom Renaissance pet portraits are the heart of Petibaroque. Whether your fur baby is a noble lady, a dashing knight, or a flamboyant king, make them the centrepiece of a wall. Frame them with smaller vintage frames, butterfly mirrors, or even a baroque shelf with candles for a truly regal look.
❌ DON’T: Stick to Just One Era
Baroque plays beautifully with Rococo, Victorian, and even Art Nouveau. Don’t be afraid to mix styles — a little dark academia wall set next to a gilded mirror can be unexpectedly magical.
✅ DO: Play with Texture
Combine canvas prints, plush velvet, cold cast resin, aged brass, and distressed wood. The Petibaroque aesthetic is rich in tactile delight — the more varied the materials, the more visually engaging your space becomes.
❌ DON’T: Go Too Theme-y
We love a good theme — but avoid turning your space into a set piece. Instead of making your home look like a full-on castle, think "modern vintage fairytale." A touch of grandeur here, a nod to nostalgia there.
Final Thought
Decorating with Petibaroque is about expressing joy, elegance, and a little bit of cheeky opulence. Trust your instincts, embrace imperfection, and above all — make it personal.
