18th Century French Architecture
If asked for a clear cut answer on which style of architecture I prefer, I would say I predominantly tend towards modernism and/or minimalism. When it comes to architecture, I like clean, sleek lines, glossy surfaces, and bold, graphic punches of colour… most of the time. Like a true walking contradiction, I also have a warm and fuzzy place in my heart for all things ornate, excessively decorative, and a tad superfluous, ie: the total opposite of modern and minimal. Deep in the depths of my heart, I’m a little Marie Antoinette in the making. Give me organic, flowing curves, gold gilded surfaces, chandeliers dripping with crystals, and ice creamy shades of pink, mint and robin’s egg blue. Yuppers, give me a big scoop of 18th century French architecture any day and I’ll eat it right up and demand seconds Oliver Twist style. Please sir, may I have some more?
