Built on a lagoon and founded in 421, Venice was a prosperous center for trade and home to the world’s largest port and housed over 200,000 residents. Venice was known for its unique style, which inspired many trends with the incorporation of the artist’s creative spirit. Known as a city for lavish parties, gambling, and excess, Venice was a place for the European elite to see and be seen. The key to the signature Venetian style is the mixture of global influences. Decorating your home with a mixture of artwork and accessories from your own personal travels will aid in achieving the Venetian look. Elaborately carved mirrors, celestial themes, antique lamps and sconces, Venetian plaster walls, and an elegant crystal chandelier can help complete and elevate your space.
