one dark colors

The classic style is traditionally associated with light, restrained shades: white and beige, as well as light shades of wood. To diversify the color palette, make the space more modern, but at the same time not go far from the idea of ​​​​traditional classics, add dark colors: black, dark gray, green, blue, wine shades. You can make a contrasting wall or choose dark furniture. If you are not ready for large color accents and want to quickly change the color palette, use textiles. Bored dark curtains are very easy to replace with light ones.

2 Contrasting patterns

Try adding prints atypical for the classics to the interior: for example, a black and white check or a leopard. It is important to add such accents little by little: in the upholstery of armchairs or a small sofa, pouffe or in the form of a carpet. A bolder move is to choose a wallpaper or tile with this pattern.

3 Minimalism

Traditional classics are characterized by an abundance of furniture and accessories. The eyes quickly get tired of such a variety, and the apartment begins to resemble a museum with a huge number of exhibits.

If you abandon this approach and adopt the principles of minimalism, the interior will only benefit. Choose one detail — stucco, elegant vintage table or chair — and build the interior around it. To emphasize the main subject as much as possible, you can use it as a center for the axis of symmetry in the interior.

four Furniture from different stories

The sets are no longer relevant, but for the classics the principle of pairing of objects still applies, so, for example, an armchair and a sofa can be from the same collection. Choose from a variety of items. The same armchair can stand out in color, material or even style. Such a design move will make the interior memorable and original.

5 Abstraction

The easiest way to update a traditional space is to add a bright and noticeable modern accent to it. In the case of a classic interior, this is easiest done with the help of paintings, since decorative canvases are one of the attributes of the classics. Let the plot be abstract.

A frame will help soften the transition from classic to modern. Choose thin, the same color as the walls or canvas.

6 living plants

In a classic interior, you can fit not only carpets, paintings and statues, but also a large number of different plants. They will help to avoid the museum atmosphere and make the space livelier and more original.

To make the green accent noticeable, choose large plants: monstera, alocasia, strelitzia, syngonium. Arrange them around the room in massive floor pots, picking up a conspicuous place, for example, next to the sofa or opposite the window.

7 Creative chaos

Another way to make a classic home look aesthetic, but not look like a display stand in a store, is to deliberately add a beautiful clutter. Do not put magazines on the coffee table in a neat pile, leave an open book on the chest of drawers, throw a blanket over the sofa so that it hangs down to the floor and forms beautiful folds.
