We choose a modern, and not a palace classic, we disguise flaws and use other tricks to arrange a small-signed classic style.
1 Modern Classic instead of Palace
A large-scale, ornate decorated classic asks for high ceilings and spacious rooms. The classic modern is built on a neutral color gama, discreet decor and stricter lines in furniture and layout. Therefore, it successfully and harmoniously fit into a small apartment and makes the space by air and thoughtful, interesting.
2 Neutral Light Color Base
The classic interior is always associated primarily with light shades, but each of them also affects the feeling from the room. For example, warm shades of beige and sandy will warm and make a visually lighter room, where there are few natural lights. There are light shades of gray - an excellent background for different accents: paintings, textures, interesting furniture. Blue or green fit for an accent wall or non-residential room. The main advantage of such colors for a small apartment is its visual increase.
3 Visually raised ceilings
To achieve the sensation of high ceilings for the classic interior, you can use multiple receptions:
- moderately decorated cornices in the color of the ceiling;
- Vertical lines in the interior, for example, striped wallpaper or narrow elongated bookcase;
- vertical moldings;
- Wide light plinth.
4 Right room geometry
Small apartments in panel houses do not allow to make a serious redevelopment, but you can try to expand the doorways slightly slightly, lay high cabinets along the long walls, at the same time solving the problem with storage. You can also visually correct the window shape with a curtain: hang them slightly higher to pull the window, or use a long cornice to slightly expand the window.
5 disguised flaws
Find the way to hide all extra elements: air duct, hood, air conditioning, wires. Use various boxes or wardrobes for this. Wires can be glued to the feet of furniture or hide behind the plinth. Some ugly moments, for example, repainted old batteries can become an interesting accent and highlight of the classic interior.
6 unifying detail
If you want to achieve a completed and thoughtful classic interior throughout the apartment, select the focus that will be repeated in each room. It may be color, and then you will pick up textiles and accessories in this shade. Or a geometric shape, for example, a rhombus that will be used in a tile, a pattern on curtains and carpets. Or a selection of paintings in one style. An interesting way is to use one material, such as brass in chandeliers, furniture legs, mirrors.
7 More Tree and Textural Materials
The classic interior uses wooden furniture on legs. It is good for a small space, as such furniture looks sufficiently air. Do not get carried away by carve and gilding, it is better to give preference more stringent models. Pay attention to the texture of the upholstery and facing materials as a whole - the more interesting, the volume will look like a general picture.
