The furniture is becoming more and more luxurious, but unlike previous styles, it is almost no longer inspired by architecture. There are two types of furniture: ceremonial furniture richly decorated with veneers and inlays (especially at andré-charles boulle), gilded solid wood and bourgeois furniture in solid wood. The style is characterized above all by absolute symmetry and a large and ostentatious dimension. The Louis XIV style is of Italian and antique inspiration.

In 1690, on the death of Lebrun, decorator of the king, the style declined and was gradually replaced by the Regence style. The Palace of Versailles is obviously extremely and durably marked by the Louis XIV style.

The Louis XIV style also reached its peak when the royal court moved to Versailles.
