It has a modest yet muted and it is all about timeless elegance and introducing traditional elements into our modern day.

The neoclassic design style has a varied color palette with colors such as cream, gray, blue, yellow and green taking the center stage whereas tones like luster black, red, gold and silver are mostly used as patches of color to highlight the overall style.

Usually, neoclassical furniture is rather symmetrical. In an interior of such a theme, you can expect to see dark wood furniture, embellished ornaments, stone and marble floors and even Persian carpets. Fabrics also play an important role in this style, they are often more luxurious than ostentatious, such as damask silk, brocade, linen, and, of course, velvet.

When it comes to decorative accessories, objects such as urns, Wedgwood china, pottery, and statues are often placed above furniture in order to further emphasize a luxurious ambiance. Furthermore, neoclassical interiors feature large mirrors, astounding flower decor, and artwork as well as decorative moldings which adorn the walls and ceilings.
