Classical


Classical designs are very old fashion. They are simple and very casual. Using the right colors to make a classical look it can take the cue from the empire periods of history where color choices were often inspired by nature. Consider various yellows, blues, greens, browns as well as softer, muted hues like terracottas, grays and pinks. Adding some ebony (black) accenting within a well-planned design scheme can enhance the classical feel.
You should get some common classical images for the room which include; Roman and Greek inspired columns, busts and urns. Obelisks and other Egyptian inspired design elements might also be used. A classical image can also be showed in a room through decorative accessories or as a carefully stenciled pattern on the walls, for example. There are also wallpaper borders available with strong classical design elements.


Fabrics in classical rooms tend to be delicate, elegant but also reserved. Some of the fabrics you could use for a room like this could be cotton, some less reserved options like silk or taffeta. Now for flooring you should go for a natural look, maybe a wood, stone or marble would be the best choice for a classical style.
