Ideas for decorating your home in a renovated classic style

Below you will see several ideas for decorating your home that will serve as a starting point to develop your interior design project. Let's get started!

White as your best ally

One of the first points to take into account is that it will be necessary to tone down the classic style to achieve this renovation.

For this, nothing better than to use the color white and use it on walls.

With this premise we will achieve a clear, wide and spacious container that will be presented as a neutral area, suitable for mixing styles. To this we will add another type of details with which we will continue to give the hand to the classic.

However, the color white may result in too much clarity for those who do not intend to make such a big leap from the conventional classic style to the updated one. In this case read on; in the next point you will find an equally effective alternative.

For more sober classics, use dark colors.

If white seems too much, we can always create a darker environment with grays or mink. The darker it is, the more sober, elegant and "stately" it will be.

The only thing we must take into account is that the rest of the elements must have that clear and modern point so as not to go to a pure classic.

Use black and white photos where white predominates, light upholstery, soft carpets, light furniture and light curtains.

Use moldings on doors, walls and ceiling.

The moldings will be the most classic representation that we can count on, our great ally in many cases. They are usually present in centenary floors with high ceilings. Whenever we can, we will respect and preserve them and, if necessary, we will add the necessary ones.

It is true that there are apartments in which we do not find them, such as those of new construction, and that for budget reasons we cannot add them.

They are those exceptions in which they are not usually present and for which we will use other elements where they can be. This is the case, for example, of classic armchairs with cabriole legs or sideboards with doors where the moldings are included.

Opting for velvets and mixed fabrics

Velvet is a fabric with a lot of packaging, it gives off personality on its own and we tend to associate it with luxury. Nothing better for our renewed classic style.

To bring it closer to the modern, we will play with its tonality, stronger if we want to give off joy and lighter if what we intend is to capture a more calm and peaceful air.

Say yes to gold

We must not forget that we intend to recreate a classic style with all that it entails, so in our interior can not miss the brightness characteristic of this type of decoration.

Of course, without losing sight of the fact that we have to give it that contemporary touch. The best will be to opt for modern furniture such as lamps or tables that will provide the right point of luxury.

Mix classic with modern furniture

And finally, we can not forget the key factor to achieve this style that we bring in our hands.

Our container can be more or less classic, lighter or darker, with many or few moldings, but what cannot be missing under any circumstances is one or more pieces of furniture with modern lines.

This furniture will be the icing on the cake and will make the decoration breathe renewed airs.

If we choose soft colors for the furniture, they will provide us with a calm atmosphere, while if we prefer stronger tones that create contrast, we will obtain a more colorful and dynamic classic.
