The classic style of the living room interior places increased demands on the furniture and lighting of the room. Individual order according to a specially completed design project - The best way decorate the hall. If this is not possible, you should take into account a simple rule: quality, good quality, elegant beauty, clarity of lines and shapes are always taken into account when choosing furniture. An important detail: the furniture should be quite impressive in size, the sofa and armchairs should not have sharp corners.

Array natural wood noble breeds are always a win-win choice for furniture. Only this one option will do to the interior with a fireplace area.

The upholstery of such furniture should be either leather or thick expensive fabric to match the overall color scheme of the living room drapery and somewhat darker than the wall decoration. Satin, jacquard, velor, tapestry - what should you choose if the living room and its decoration are given to the classic style.

The legs of the sets are selected with an exquisite shape and are also made of solid wood. Table tops, coffee tables may be made of durable glass, if this does not conflict with other interior details.
The fireplace area creates a special semantic center of a living room in a classic style. Modern design and renovation, which includes decorating the hall with a fireplace, lead to the choice of a suitable architectural option. Fireplaces are stationary and mobile, closed and semi-closed, corner and island. Closed ones are equipped with a chimney in the wall and plan at the beginning construction work. Open fireplaces are often placed in the center of the room. It evenly provides warmth to the room and advantageously emphasizes its uniqueness and style. It is worth considering that wood fireplace an area of ​​at least 20 square meters is required. If for technical reasons it is not possible to install it, an electric fireplace may be an alternative proposal.

The cladding and decoration of fireplaces is made of brick, wood, stone, ceramic tiles and marble blocks. Portal design - from granite, marble, stone, ceramics, brick, limestone, metal.
Classic style is impossible without elegant and sufficient lighting for a large space. A room, by definition, should have a lot of natural light. A massive chandelier is a must. It can be multi-level in pendants and decorated with candelabra. There are many variations, but it all depends on the size of the room. Lighting fixtures containing crystal, natural gilding, and bronze will fit appropriately into a design that suggests a classic style. Modern neoclassicism also gives preference to the attributes of the classical lighting solution chosen by the time.

The design of a classic living room involves the use of large quantities of candlesticks, sconces and spotlights. They allow you to create a cozy, intimate atmosphere and achieve additional zoning of the area with light.

Who would not want to have a living room that is correct, elegant, aesthetic, in a word, classic. However, at one glance at the “palace” pomp, stucco, gilding and curls, many feel uneasy: such an interior looks more like a museum hall than a living space. Therefore, the thought of a classic quickly evaporates. However, the chance to stay within the boundaries correct forms Still, there is a style that is called neoclassicism. A living room in a modern classic style makes it possible to combine, albeit partially, the Renaissance and modern trends. The result is a “correct” interior, not devoid of a reasonable layout, latest finishes and consonance with spectacular postmodernism.

Neoclassicism is certainly free from much. However, it will be possible to realize it if you follow certain design canons during the implementation process. These include:

• strict proportions;
• symmetry;
• decor with a touch of nobility, but without exaggerated excesses;
• Egyptian notes in furnishings, decoration, accessories;
• softness, refinement in color palette;
• curls, floral edgings;
• rosette reliefs.

Modern classicism is incredibly flexible. In principle, it seems to stand at the crossroads of several directions and styles. The interior of a living room in the style of modern classics can be realized in absolutely any area; there are no special requirements here. Therefore, such halls can be found not only in city apartments, but also in cottages, dachas, large and small rooms, as evidenced by the photos we offer.

Advice! But still, if you want neoclassicism in your apartment to truly shine, to be fully realized, it is better to equip it on large areas, so as not to force the style into millimeter frames.

Surface finishing: ceiling, floor, walls

Neoclassicism is democratic, of course. But up to certain limits. In the field of finishing it cannot be called such. They still dominate here natural materials. If you use “substitutes” or analogues, then choose the most expensive and high-quality ones. To make the finish both classic and innovative, adhere to the following points:

• symmetrical placement of interior objects;
• correctness in proportions, lines (adhere to the “golden ratio”);
• minimum furniture;
• different types of lighting.

The new classic loves color sophistication, so if you plan to use sand, beige, brown, olive shades, you should mix a little gold and silver into them.

Vertical surfaces in the hall, that is, walls, are usually finished with wallpaper, decorative or Venetian plaster, wood panels, paint. In the latter case, blue, white, olive, milky, and light yellow shades are chosen. There is certainly no heavy stucco in the new direction of the classics. However, the use of convex relief means, namely cornices, moldings, ceiling skirting boards to visually show the boundary between the wall and the ceiling is welcome.

Advice! Cornices should be chosen wide, with antique reliefs, a color different from the surfaces.

A living room in a modern classic style is often finished with wallpaper. At the same time, despite the innovation, abstract, flashy designs and prints should not be here. As our selection of photos shows, stripes, plant motifs, and checkered patterns are allowed in wallpaper. But all this is within reasonable limits. Ethnic designs and ornaments - Damascus, Egyptian, oriental - will look great in a neoclassical hall.

You can divide the wall in two as an experiment finishing materials: make the top with fabric wallpaper and cover the bottom with wood panels, or vice versa. Frequent guests on the walls of the living room are stained glass windows, mosaics, mirror panels, a natural stone, but exclusively fragmentary, in combination with something else.

When finishing the floor, you can follow the advice of designers and apply:

• parquet (natural wood);
• board;
• laminate of the highest quality;
• ceramic tiles imitating natural stone;
• porcelain stoneware

The most favorite flooring material in neoclassical style is, naturally, parquet.

The most favorite flooring material in neoclassical style is, naturally, parquet. Moreover, you should choose the option made of mahogany. After all, a classic, even a new one, is still not just an interior: it gravitates quite strongly towards art. And his real “work” will be parquet of a dark, rich, rich red color. If you are inclined to choose a board, then stop only on a massive one, made of oak, in any color scheme. Tiles and porcelain stoneware are not used as often. These materials are used if it is necessary to install heated floors.

When decorating the ceiling, one usually leans in favor of tensile structures, plaster (bleached), drywall, glossy paint. Often in modern classical halls can be found wooden beams. The main thing here is to maintain proportions, the requirements of harmony and compatibility with the rest of the interior. Multi-level plasterboard structures and diverse lighting are also often installed. If plaster or paint is used, be sure to trim the ceiling-wall boundary with cornices and baseboards.

Furniture furnishings

Furniture massiveness in new classics missing completely. Which cannot but please those who are “scared” by carved legs and gilded frames. Here, furniture can (within reasonable limits) have smooth, wavy, graceful silhouettes, or it can go towards simple, laconic geometry, even ascetic minimalism. Armrests, gilding, monograms, picture ovals of the backs - all this is not found in neoclassical furniture. There is less and less pomp and heaviness here, more and more simplicity and lightness.

Massive furniture is completely absent in the new classics. What cannot but please those who are “scared” by carved legs and gilded frames

Living room in a modern classic style It is really furnished with small furniture. But it can still be deprived of modesty because of one element - the upholstery. For her, they often choose leather that is exclusively natural and thick. expensive fabric, having gold or silver embossing. Still, a classic, although updated, remains a classic. And furniture upholstery is clear proof of this.

Interesting! But what was not in the old classic living rooms was coffee tables various shapes. But in a new classic living room they can be decorated in Egyptian or any other ethnic style. And this is another tribute to the classical canons.

A very impressive and bright guest modern halls- this is a fireplace. He is a reference to antiquity, namely to Ancient Greece and her temples

A very impressive and bright guest of modern rooms is the fireplace. It is a reference to antiquity, namely to Ancient Greece and its temples, which were replete with columns. Usually the fireplace is finished with marble or any other material that imitates it. Above the fireplace you should definitely hang a large picture or a mirror in a beautiful frame. The subject of the painting may not be from antiquity or the Renaissance, but it is also abstract and surreal. It's better to choose beautiful landscape or morinistics. A neoclassical hall should be symmetrical in geometry. Therefore, paired armchairs, chairs or chests of drawers should be placed on both sides of the fireplace.

Hall in modern classic style: lighting and layout

The layout of a modern living room is another tribute to the ancient classics, namely: all furniture should be placed around the perimeter of the room, the backs of sofas, chairs, armchairs should be pushed tightly against the walls, and the center should be left free.

Decorating accessories

Here, each element must stand strictly in its place and carry a certain semantic decorative meaning. If this is a vase, then let it be one, not a dozen. If this is a painting, then it should be large and in the center of the room, and not many small ones scattered all over the walls.

When choosing textile items, you don’t need to stray from the general pastel palette of the interior. As for curtains, the new classics do not welcome lush, bulky multi-level compositions with folds. It's better to stick to simple ones rectangular shapes, closer to Japanese minimalism than excess French kings!
