The classic is loved by many, but she has one minus - the furniture and decor in this style can quite seriously hit the budget. We offer a dozen proven ways to avoid.
1 Focus on Natural Materials
The classic interior implies a choice in favor of natural materials: a tree, stone, gypsum will be as appropriate. But there is a nuance: the use of such materials - the pleasure is not cheap. Exit - Search for high-quality analogs. Pick the ones that look as much as possible: say, a cheap linoleum is unlikely to become a suitable replacement for a wooden parquet, but a quality factory laminate or parquet board - quite.

8 Add stucco
Plaster stucco on the ceiling will enhance the classic atmosphere of the situation. There is a more budget analogue - polyurethane imitation. It, of course, in many respects is inferior to the gypsum, however, if after mounting it can be painted in the color of the surface, you can noticeably reduce the feeling of artificiality.

10 Adhere to the usual decor
Do not experiment with the decor, in classic interiors it is pretty accustomed: paintings with traditional plots, vases, family portraits, mirrors in massive frames, indoor plants in stylish caspo. Do not try to add lettering or abstract posters: at best, they will turn the situation from the classic in eclectic, at worst - they will look alien.
