The Rise of Rococo Revival: How to Add Ornate Iron Details to Your Space

Where Curves, Craft, and Character Meet

While minimalism still has its place, 2025 is seeing a bold shift: Rococo Revival is on the rise. Characterized by romantic curves, intricate detailing, and a sense of theatrical charm, this movement brings old-world elegance into today’s interiors—and iron is a perfect match for it.

At Paso Robles Ironworks, known for its clean-lined essentials, we’re also seeing growing demand for more decorative, heirloom-inspired pieces. From our floral iron sconces to scrollwork bathroom hooks and Acanthus leaf tie backs, these pieces introduce detail and drama without going full Versailles.

The key to incorporating Rococo touches today? Balance. Pair a hand-bent iron mirror frame with a simple plaster wall. Add a decorative towel ring with soft vintage brass tones to an otherwise streamlined bathroom. Even something as small as a curled iron wall hook can give a space that sense of history and flair that defines Rococo.

And unlike gilded antiques, iron adds a grounded, artisan quality to the style. Its weight and texture give ornate forms substance, which keeps them from feeling fussy or overly polished.

For those wanting to blend this revival with modern rustic or minimalist design, think of iron as your anchor: a bridge between past and present, detail and restraint.
