Classic Design FAQ
What is Classic interior design?
Classic interior design is a refined style based on the order and proportion of Greek and Roman architecture. It uses symmetry, muted colors, fine materials like marble and silk, and architectural details such as molding.
How do I make my living room Classic?
Arrange furniture in matching pairs around a central point. Choose a camelback or roll-arm sofa in ivory or soft gray, a marble-top table and a crystal chandelier. Add molding or an antique mirror for architectural detail.
Is Classic the same as Traditional?
They are similar but not identical. Classic style is calmer and more architectural, with muted colors and classical proportions. Traditional style is cozier and more decorative, with richer colors, patterns and dark wood.
