Da Rocha Interiors: Classic Design Style Redefined
It’s hard to put your finger on a typical classic design style. However, there are certain design elements that work together so well that it’s hard to miss when a room feels classic, timeless and effortless. Achieve your own classic design schemes with these expert tips.
Sumptuous Furnishings
Classic designs call for a beautiful mix of materials and a blend of sumptuous finishes such as upholstery, soft furnishings and accent pieces. These smaller but essential design elements can help to elevate your entire interior. In fact, in a timeless and classic scheme, your furnishing accessories should lean towards being delicate and refined. This draws the eye in and gives the impression of luxury and sophisticated comfort. It helps to create a textural feast for the eyes.
Timeless materials
In a classic design, timeless materials offer longstanding appeal in a room. Solid wood furniture is often a top choice here. Not only does wood add warmth and richness to an interior but it can also anchor a room with its presence. A solid wood dining table, for example, will be a timeless furniture choice for years to come. Other timeless materials include bronze, marble, ceramic and more. Top tip: Don’t settle on just one of these materials. Create balance and symmetry by incorporating a few different materials into one space.
Light, harmonious tones
Lighter colours create a welcoming and brighter ambience. These are also ideal in a timeless design aesthetic where light shades of grey, white and beige merge beautifully with an array of materials and furniture. Lighter tones also lend a room a sense of sophistication and functionality. A space feels cleaner, calmer and more put together with a lighter palette as a backdrop.
No matter your design style, you can achieve the perfect look with professional design assistance. The team from Da Rocha Interiors have years of knowledge and expertise to help you create dreamy, functional and elegant spaces. They are also renowned for their handcrafted luxury furniture pieces.
