Interior Desaign Idea Classic Style Livingroom
July 13th, 2010 - Posted in Livingroom Design
Elegance and comfort in the home are essential elements of the classic style living room. Choose a boxy-shaped sofa with comfortable, soft cushions covered in a longwearing woven stripe or damask. Team it with a selection of different seating styles, covered in toning but different fabrics, this looks more natural than a matching suite. via
Desaign glass-fronted cupboards are perfect for displaying favorite china or old books. Chests and trunks with upholstered tops – or draped with a shawl or throw – provide a useful surface, and hidden storage space, too. Modern items such as the TV and stereo are best tucked away in built-in storage systems.
Create a soft, atmospheric glow with careful lighting, wall lights, table lamps, and floor lamps, or candles set around the room, create pools of warm light. Large Chinese-style vases in blue and white or green provide good lampbases; wood stained to a mahogany or ebony finish on brass bases are also ideal. Fit them with a simple parchment or pleated silk shade.
A large framed mirror over the fireplace, architectural engravings or botanical prints in narrow black frames add a sophisticated touch. Hang them in groups, perhaps linked with a picture bow or stick-on, printed classical swags and borders.
