Modern Neoclassical

We love interior design, so when we’re mixing it up to create challenges we sometimes come across combinations that shouldn’t work, but really do – they’re the sweet and sour of the design world!

Neoclassical design is a celebration of timeless design. In architecture think columns and plinths, in interiors you get grand, timeless design. Rooms that can be described as neoclassical have grand scale, with large light fittings, long curtains and using marble or stone items to achieve a classical design. So when it comes to modern neoclassical it does sound like we’re putting two things together that really shouldn’t go. The modern in this design gives neoclassical a twist, adding the ability to use it in smaller rooms, with some extra color and soft furnishings. This can create some stunning room designs.

The winners of this week’s challenges have mixed classical with modern successfully, you can see in the dining room and bedroom designs have grand light fittings and use panels of color that give the rooms height, but their furnishings look more modern. The winning bathroom design also has a lovely classical light fitting, using marble for the sink and a large mirror is all very classical and it is complimented with the more modern wallpaper.

Before and After

This was voted as the winning winter wonderland indoors living room layout idea, by our Instagram followers.  The designer has created an inspiring neutral living room design using the Room Creator App.  The use of neutral floor and wall colours have made the decor and wall art stand out in the room.

This room layout idea has a number of great zones.  For example the use of the green blinds bring a vibrancy to the room.  The area rug in the centre of the room defines the space for movement through the room.  The side table has been carefully placed in the corner of the room and beautifully decorated.  Floor lamps have then been used to add to the vibrancy in the other corners of the room.

This is just another great example of how virtual 3d room design Apps such as Room Creator are helping people become great decor and room layout designers!
