Neoclassical bedroom decoration

Very often the rooms of respectable hotels are decorated in the neoclassical style. And not without reason - this direction in design commensurately combines conservatism, sophistication and fashion trends. This style is perfect for a bedroom design. Serene yet sophisticated, it will accentuate your position and give you the opportunity to relax in a magnificent setting.

In comparison with the conservative classics, neoclassicism makes it possible to include the latest innovations and trends in interior design, expands the range of materials, and opens up a huge scope for imagination. The basic principles of the style are concentration of attention on the richness of forms and visual unity of the presented picture.

Designers identify a number of principles of this style:

• the furnishings of the sleeping and resting room are expensive and stand out for their exquisite forms;
• symmetry and proportion;
• the highest comfort of the environment and the practicality of the use of all items;
• discreet patterns related to floral ornaments or abstractions;
• color palette, non-cutting eyes, serene.

The final finishing effect must be perfect. Actually, for this reason, in the neoclassical style, the most expensive and innovative materials are practiced that meet the transcendental needs of the customer. In appearance, they can be quite primitive and unpretentious, but their main property must be high quality.

Style implies artless colors that do not strain the eyes. An excellent choice - peach, pale blue and light brown shades.

The basic palette of neoclassical bedroom colors is white, sand, beige, all the nuances of cream and light brown, yellow-red, pale blue, silver and golden tones.

And in order to emphasize the interior in the design objects, they use a little dark or catchy color., for example, it can be mirrors of small sizes, edged in a chic wide frame of gold color, or a dark heavy carved frame made of wood, a floor lamp on a carved leg made of dark wood.

The main difference between classics and neoclassicism is primarily in the materials for the cladding. In this direction, it is appropriate to practice finishing with plasterboard, glass, decorative panels and other newfangled prototypes.

Because neoclassicism is often practiced for apartments with an average square footage, in the wall cladding, it is necessary to focus on a light palette that visually expands the boundaries. It is advisable to use the following features:

• single-color coloring;
• any wallpaper with a small pattern or strip;
• wood panels or its stylization - they will highlight the correctness of the lines and visually indicate the boundaries of dividing the space into sections;
• glass wall panels or mirror sheets;
• noteworthy ways to beautify the ceiling and floor.

The optimal choice for arranging the ceiling is stretch ceilings, which along the contour can be trimmed with decorative strips such as a valance or fillets. It is necessary to take a glossy or glossy canvas without images - they will hide all the flaws on the ceiling and highlight the splendor of the interior. For neoclassicism, not only single-level stretch ceilings will fit, it is also possible to implement a multi-level structure that will fit into a single stylization of the decoration.

The traditional floor covering is a board or parquet, but for neoclassicism it can be replaced with laminated flooring or even polymer (flooded) floors... Ceramic granite also looks gorgeous in the interior, however, such a cladding is not suitable for every home due to its high cost. The most accessible prototype is ceramic tiles styled in marble.

Traditional window openings are also being adapted to modern interior design in the style of American neoclassicism. The best option is panoramic glazing with wide window sills. In addition, you can decorate them with carved wooden cornices or volumetric embossed strips.

Lighting in a neoclassical space plays an essential role. This is connected with a historical factor: in the era of chic palaces, there was no electricity, so light sources were installed in all the main zones. In our time, this principle has been preserved, therefore, you need to think about a multi-stage lighting system - it will be an excellent decoration in the evening.

In the center of the room, there must certainly be a forged chandelier with crystal components or a large number of glass lampshades.An amazing lighting device reproduces a huge number of candles with hanging glass curls and amazing figures.

Dignified floor lamps on elegant legs with pompous lampshades made of expensive fabric of soft shades, crowned with noble flowers, will harmoniously highlight the sophistication of the bedroom. The sconces located on the wall near the furniture will become the missing "highlight".

The key element of the neoclassical bedroom is, of course, the bed.... Possessing an ordinary rectangular shape, it attracts attention with its exquisite decoration and graceful headboard, which can be ornate-carved or comfortable-soft. For the manufacture of a headboard in the neoclassical style, precious woods, high-quality fabrics or leather are used.

Other furnishings are placed in the bedroom according to the symmetry rules. In addition to the usual bedside tables located on either side of the bed, a neoclassical bedroom usually has room for such items:

• a luxurious chest of drawers or a lady's table with an exquisite mirror;
• soft armchair or sofa for relaxation;
• closet for garments.

Basically, these are objects of a refined form with a touch of antiquity, which do not overload the space.

Furniture for a bedroom in neoclassicism is distinguished by soft lines, serene noble colors and expensive, but very soft drapery. To form a highly harmonious design, it is preferable to buy items from one set.

At the same time, it should be borne in mind that against the background of light coatings, samples made of wood of the color of chocolate or wenge mainly win, and, on the contrary, in contrast to the dark floor, oak or walnut furniture will look more colorful.

In classical design, great importance is attached to decoration, which is a sign of the wealth and social status of the owner. In such a house, you will certainly come across gorgeous silk curtains, antique statues, canvases of great artists and other items presented in our time, if only in a museum.

Neoclassicism is much more democratic in this matter. All kinds of decorations can be used here, and the walls are often hung with modern paintings. But the number of such elements is limited by the principle of consistency in the interior.

Window openings can be draped with high-quality even fabric, the colors of which are combined with the palette of the room. A good decoration will be books on the shelves showing the education of the owners, flowers in vases that refresh even the gloomiest house, table lamps with an exquisite lampshade that pleasantly illuminate the surrounding space, and, of course, framed mirrors that visually add a couple of square meters missing for a complete image.

The bedroom looks amazing with the following items:

• tall vases with floral ornaments;
• curtains topped with frill and lambrequins;
• mirrors in powerful bronze or gilded frames;
• columns, arches, stucco with elements of gilding;
• bronze sculptures;
• paintings;
• carpets, blankets, decorative pillows.

The neoclassical style is perfect for a medium to large bedroom. The main detail of the interior - the bed - is decorated with due respect for the richness of natural materials and the splendor of fabrics. Usually a huge, chic bed is complemented by two bedside tables or tables-stands, on which or above which there are wall sconces or table lamps.

Typically a neoclassical bedroom is a pastel neutral room... Furniture made of dark wood looks very comfortable against the background of light finishes on all surfaces. Chocolate tones, a shade of wenge, can be continued in the design of the flooring, but basically the bed is arranged on light-colored carpet.

Neoclassicism is suitable for connoisseurs of tradition, not tolerating excessive bombast. This style fits perfectly into a room of any size due to its consistency. In this example of a modern neoclassical bedroom interior, a secretaire and an elegant dressing table made of natural wood with a chair look great, small pillows will add comfort.

The proportions, symmetry and solid dimensions of the forms in this small bedroom remain in place, and the ornate stucco, gilding and carvings are muted to subtle elements. In the first place are still natural textures and materials, but in more progressive forms. For example, tapestry and jacquard were replaced by velvet, dense textured cotton and fabrics made of mixed fibers.
