Neoclassical Design Gets Modern Twists

Neoclassical Design Gets Modern Twists

Neoclassical style developed after the opulence and excesses of Rococo style. And it’s starting to come back again with modern twists to adapt it to modern tastes. It is a luxurious style but it’s restrained. It has a bit of minimalism in it. Its colour palette is restrained and tasteful making use of white, cream, beige and metallics as colours. Also the materials and accessories are not fussy in any way: no big and opulent decorations. If big and luxurious fabrics are used as window coverings that will be the focal point. No excess, simple forms, simple painting on the wall in neutral colours.

As a modern twist it can be occasionally used in conjunction with simple materials and accessories that might not be strictly Neoclassical such as driftwood.

Some of the things they recommend are painting your ceilings in a lighter shade than the rest of the room.
