When it comes to making some interior design changes in your own home, the classic style is always an inspired and current choice, regardless of the trends of the year in this field.
Although there are many styles of interior design (traditonal, midcentury, victorian, vintage, minimalist, modern, chabby chic, rustic or baroque), the decoration of the house in the classic style is still in the top of the designers preferences, due to its elegance and refinement.
The defining feature of this style is given by the simplicity of the furniture which is lighter, compact and elegant, with simple elements of decoration and attention to details that will make the difference in the arrangement of the house.
If you have decided to redecorate the house in a classic style, our designers recommend you to consider some useful tips and ideas that will help you make the most inspired choices.
For the traditional classic style you can use: warm peach colors, neutral palette of vibrant colors, beige, green, blue, pale yellow, to create a contrast with the furniture.
As furniture pieces are recommended the natural wood ones in classic style, British, colonial, Tuscan and antique pieces. Also, we recommend you tu use solid wood (paneling), furniture sets and accessories, walls painted in pale colors and wood floor.
Enhancing Classic Style with Curtains and Sheers
The right fabrics for the classic style are:
Wide, long drapes with folds down to the ground;
Simple – accessorised, embroidery, lace, etc;
Floral but simplified by large dimensions;
Plant motifs and the predominant color is white, but you can also use pastel shades such as cream, beige, white-butter, pale yellow, brick or ivory to give the home a warm, welcoming and relaxing look.
- The furniture pieces are mostly made of solid walnut, birch, oak or cherry wood and you can use darker or stronger shades that will visually dominate the room. Avoid using more than two contrasting colors for a classic style, as it can create an imbalance and the sensation of a suffocating space.
- For windows decoration, it is recommended to use precious and fine materials and textures, such as velvet, taffeta or natural silk, in plain colors or discrete and elegant patterns; the decorations are very important for the classical style as they emphasize the elegance and refinement of the rooms. You can use pendulum clock, photo frames, statues or paintings to adorn the walls and give a classic look to your home, reminiscent of old times.
- Mirrors can enrich any room and beautify the decor of a house, giving the impression of greater space. For a classic style, you can use a mirror with a gold or wooden frame.
- Pay attention to the proportions: The furniture and accessories must be chosen according to the height of the space intended for arrangement.
Contrasting colors Printing on fabrics.
- Prints: if they belong to different styles or colors, we cannot use more than 2 types of prints. A floral print and a striped print are sufficient and form a strong contrast. Any other model will visually load the camera.
Regardless of the choices you make to create the long-awaited decor, the classic style will never be outdated, being calm, relaxing, without too many accessories and details, so that each chosen element to help create a harmonious atmosphere.
