This room is decorated and furnished in the Biedermeier style, which was very popular in Germany, Austria and elswhere from the 1820s to the 1840s. This style includes the use of light colours and the overall simplicity of the decorations. The simple pretty flower-sprigged wallpaper is in the French style, however, and may have been made in France.
