The classics are classics and will remain steadfast in the face of time. As fans of the modern style in the interior, clean lines and simple color combinations, our team believes that the classics can also have their modern interpretation, which deserves to be present in a luxury home in a very elegant way. Beautiful high ceilings, decorative cornices, lavish details should not remain locked in a bygone era, when they can return with an even brighter brilliance.
But how can the classic style look contemporary?
As an architecture and interior design studio with an established style and taste in work, it was challenging to refract our thinking through the prism of the classics. But preserving our signature style in the interior was important for achieving success in a seemingly classic project. Here are a few of our secrets.
The combination of colors, materials and patterns is key to achieving harmony. At the same time, however, maintaining non-standard and bold solutions is important to create a distinctive style. That is why in different places they will make an impression, for example, wallpaper on the ceiling, which will break the decorative cornice with an interesting pattern or rich color; or extravagant modern decorative details to give a slight joke and contrast with the strict tone.
Of course, I couldn’t help but keep the lacquered surfaces and metal details to be in bright gold, giving the desired noble finish. I am a connoisseur of old-school furniture design, but the decision was to keep them in light colors without the presence of figurative fabrics that weigh down the heart of the interior with more elements. The repetitive details characteristic of upholstery can be seen in the background as part of the fragments of the wall cladding.
A favorite approach is the implementation of materials in an unexpected way for the respective style. The combination of classic white wall frames with delicate patterned wallpaper refreshes the interior completely.
On the other hand, having marble with contrasting veins to attract attention is a good trick to play the role of accent in the room. And the addition of mirrors, as a decorative detail on the doors of the lockers, is an elegant note that diversifies the white smooth surfaces.
A new interpretation of the bathroom
For the interior of the bathrooms, it was important to adhere to the overall vision and elegance. We did not betray the luxurious style with impeccable white and dignified marble.
While in children’s bathrooms, through the introduction of popular modern brands, we allowed ourselves to bring a fresh provocation with candy colors and photorealistic prints on the tiles themselves. This is definitely the context of modern extravagance in which we like to work.
We continue to reveal the finished premises of our project for the modern classic home, so stay tuned for more visualizations and interesting interpretations of the new-old luxury – both with hints of heavy English aristocratic style and classic American taste.
