Old English interior design
The classic Old English style is chosen by homeowners for its sophistication, quality of workmanship and timeless elegance. It recalls the atmospheres of a period that ranges from Art Nouveau to Regency, Gothic, Neoclassical and Victorian era. One of the main features of the nineteenth-century style includes the presence of wood and marble, lace curtains, damask and embroidered fabrics, rugs and tapestries, subtle and delicate colours and, above all, elaborate wall finishes. From sofas to coffee tables, from colours to fabrics: the Old English style never fails to charm.
In order to decorate interiors in the nineteenth century style, it is essential you create a balance between elements of harmony and contrast, for both the walls and the fabrics and furnishings. Cosy, timeless, warm and embracing, this style never goes out of fashion.
Best colours for the classic style
Subtle hues are the most suitable and elegant colours for old style interiors. However, blue-greens or burgundy reds can also be used in old-fashion interiors. Delicate and subtle hues of the pastel colours combined with gold and coppery shades are perfect for a classic style. Beige and cream are however the predominant colours in a 19th century style home.
