Classic Home Design Concepts

Although modern, contemporary, and future-oriented styles dominate the world of interior architectural design today, they attract attention in some styles that time has not washed away. One of them is the classic style. This style, which is especially preferred in residential buildings, can transport its users to a different dimension by creating a timeless elegance in the areas where it is used. As Riva Interior Architecture, we will examine how classical styles that defy time can be processed in residential buildings in this blog.

First of All, What is the Classic Style?

The classical style creates unique spaces for its users by blending various historical elements with symmetry, balance, and heavy handwork in the design. A “permanent” feeling is created with luxurious textures such as velvet, satin, gold-silver embroidery, and heavy furniture used throughout the style. Together with ornate moldings, rich color palettes, and many other elements, you can create a timeless design in your living spaces.

So how can you get this style in your living spaces? In the continuation of our blog, we will examine the classic style trends in residential buildings.

Color Palette

Classic designs have a timeless color palette. What does this mean? By giving priority to neutral tones such as ivory, white, brown, and soft grays, a clean canvas is created for the moving elements to be added to the design. If it is desired to use a noticeable color, emerald green, petroleum blue, burgundy, gold, or silver colors with luxurious textures can be used.

Elegant Furniture

You can create a timeless design with high-quality furniture with traditional silhouettes. As we have mentioned before; a “permanent” feeling prevails in classical styles.

Permanent =good quality =not damaged

Accordingly, make sure that you choose furniture made with high-quality materials that will stand for a long time in your furniture selections and will not be affected by external impacts.

Luxury Fabrics

One of the most important elements that allows us to notice the classic style is fabric. With their outstanding fabric choices compared to other styles, classic styles integrate the perception of “luxury” directly into the space. For upholstery, curtains, and seating sets, you can choose fabrics such as silk, velvet, and satin, which create a poor effect on a person with their magnificent texture.

Intra-Field Symmetry and Equilibrium

With symmetry and balance, you can achieve a powerful classic design. By using symmetrical elements in fixed design elements(for example, in wall and ceiling treatments), and in moving elements (furniture), you can create a focal point on both sides of the space and choose settlements that balance each other.

Architectural Details

You can add traditional architectural details to your designs to add depth and originality to your living spaces. Since classic styles are recognized as ”timeless", you can incorporate old architectural trends into your design and create an original result.

Lighting

You can use lighting elements such as chandeliers, and sconces as lighting of different degrees and create focal points within the space. The large chandeliers, which attract all eyes with the lighting used on a small scale but in large numbers, together form a successful classical duo. Classic designs with intricate details can serve as a focal point while providing plenty of lighting.

We can say that classic home design concepts are the best option for creating interiors that have stood the test of time. By combining timeless elements, you can create a permanent style that decries elegance, luxury, quality, and historical aesthetics.
