The Puritan value of simplicity and modesty heavily influenced the emerging neoclassical style. Neoclassical architecture and design emphasized clean lines, symmetry, and balance in a way that reflected the Puritan emphasis on modesty and austerity. This influence can be seen in the architectural features and decorative elements of neoclassical buildings.

While the source of inspiration for both renaissance and neoclassical is the same, the difference with respect to decorative art would be the manner in which it is expressed. Renaissance decorative art uses bold, dense, and flowing style elements. The use of allover patterning with exuberant expression is distinctly different from neoclassical interpretation of the same ancient themes. Neoclassical decorative art is much more restrained and with the exception of fully developed perspective, is very close in compositional scale to the style elements employed in ancient Greece and Rome. The neoclassical style was far more regal and constrained than the lavish renaissance style.
