What is a classic interior?
As the name implies this is a type of interior inspired by bygone eras and characterized by refinement, beauty and richness of detail.
Adaptable to city environments but also of luxurious contrast with nature, it is best suited for large and upright spaces, with ceilings, baseboards and worked walls and where wood and marble are the main materials used.
The imposing furniture, dark in color and elaborate details, remains true to tradition through materials such as cherry, mahogany, palissandro or walnut.
The lighting, on the other hand, should be warm and well highlighted through flashing chandeliers, for example.
There are many objects that highlight the classic decoration: crystals, porcelain, silver, brass, chandeliers, busts, books, mirrors, ornate frames, chandeliers, floral arrangements, silk lampshades and elegant armchairs in fabrics such as silk, brocade or velvet. Curtains and rugs, sometimes even decorating the walls, must also be taken into account.
Understanding the line between refinement and excess can be the hardest when building such interiors. The functionality required for any setting in the hotel cannot be overlooked either.
