Very often, the rooms of reputable hotels are decorated in the neoclassical style. And for good reason - this direction in design proportionally combines conservatism, sophistication and fashion trends. This style is perfect for designing a bedroom. Tranquil, but refined, it will emphasize your position and provide an opportunity to relax in a magnificent setting.
Features
In comparison with the conservative classics, neoclassicism makes it possible to incorporate the latest innovations and trends into the interior design, widens the range of materials, and reveals a huge scope for imagination. The basic principles of style are focusing on the richness of forms and the visual unity of the picture presented.
A sophisticatedly elegant arrangement of furniture with seemingly minimalism is the main idea of the design trend.
Designers highlight a number of principles of this style:
- the atmosphere of the sleeping and relaxing room is expensive and stands out in its exquisite forms;
- symmetry and proportionality;
- the highest level of comfort and practicality of using all items;
- discreet patterns related to floral ornaments or abstractions;
- color palette, not cutting the eyes, serene.
The final effect of the finish 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.
Color spectrum
Style implies ingenious colors, not straining the eyes. A great choice - peach, pale blue and light brown shades.
Of the facing materials, chic genuine leather in light tones is often practiced - flaxen, cream options.
The basic palette of colors for the bedroom in the neoclassical style 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 design objects, a little dark or catchy color is usedfor example, it can be mirrors of small sizes, framed in a chic wide frame in gold colors or a dark heavy carved frame made of wood, a floor lamp on a carved leg made of dark wood.
Finish options
The main difference between classic and neoclassical is primarily in the materials for cladding. In this direction, it is appropriate to practice the decoration with drywall, glass, decorative panels and other newfangled prototypes.
Modern wall design
Because neoclassicism is often practiced for apartments with medium quadrature, in the wall cladding, it is necessary to focus on a light palette that visually expands the boundaries. It is advisable to apply the following features:
- color in one-color range;
- any kind of 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 the division of space into sections;
- glass wall panels or mirror paintings;
- noteworthy ways to improve the ceiling and floor.
The best choice for arranging the ceiling is stretch ceilings, which can be trimmed with decorative trims such as a slider or fillets along the contour. It is necessary to take a glossy or non-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, you can also implement a multi-level design that will fit into a single stylization of decoration.
The traditional flooring is a board or parquet, but for neoclassicism it can be replaced with a laminate flooring or even polymer (flood) floors. Ceramic granite also looks elegant in the interior, however, such a cladding is not suitable for any home due to the high cost. The most affordable prototype is marble-style ceramic tile.
For residential, children's and bedroom rooms, stylized as neoclassical, it is allowed to use soft carpet, which will fill the home with comfort.
Decoration of doors and windows
Traditional window openings also adapt to contemporary interior design in the manner of American neoclassicism. The best option is panoramic glazing with wide window sills. In addition, they can be decorated with carved wooden cornices or voluminous relief strips.
Paneled doors are decorated with carved elements, door leafs can be deaf either with patterned glass, stripes of a mirror or stained-glass windows.
Lighting organization
Lighting in neoclassical space plays a significant role. This is associated 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.
Despite the fact that the bedroom is intended for a complete rest and good sleep, neoclassicist loves various lighting devices.
In the center of the room there should certainly be a forged chandelier with crystal components or a large number of glass shades.Amazing lighting device, reproducing a huge number of candles with hanging glass curls and amazing figures.
Majestic floor lamps on elegant legs with pompous lampshades from expensive fabric in soft colors, crowned with noble colors, harmoniously highlight the sophistication of the bedroom. The sconces located on the wall near the furniture will become the missing “highlight”.
Lighting devices perfectly adjust the room, divide the space into sections, highlight the benefits and hide imperfections. The competent choice of lamps and their correct arrangement is a guarantee of a successful bedroom interior design.
Furniture selection
The key element of a neoclassical bedroom is, of course, the bed. Possessing an ordinary rectangular configuration, it attracts attention with exquisite decoration and elegant headboard, which can be ornate-carved or comfortable-soft. For the manufacture of the headboard in the neoclassical style, precious species of wood, high-quality fabrics or leather are used.
Other pieces of furniture are placed in the bedroom according to the rules of symmetry. In addition to the usual bedside tables located on either side of the bed, in the neoclassical bedroom, as a rule, there is a place for such items:
- a luxurious dresser or a ladies' table with an exquisite mirror;
- a soft armchair or sofa for relaxing;
- cabinet for items of clothing.
Basically, these are objects of sophisticated form with a touch of antiquity, not overloading space.
Neoclassical bedroom furniture stands out for its 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 taken into account that against the background of light coatings, mainly chocolate or wenge wood samples will benefit, and, on the contrary, oak or walnut furniture will look more colorful in contrast to the dark floor.
Neoclassic suggests the presence of unoccupied space. Therefore, when designing the furniture of a bedroom, it is important not to overload the interior with many worthless items.
Textiles and Decor Elements
In classical design, great importance is attached to decoration, which is a sign of wealth and social status of the owner. In such a house, chic curtains made of silk, antique sculptures, canvases of great artists and other objects presented in our time, if only in the museum, will certainly come across.
Neoclassical 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 smooth cloth, the coloring of which is combined with the room's palette. Books on the shelves showing the owners' education, flowers in vases, refreshing even the most gloomy house, table lamps with exquisite lampshade, pleasantly illuminating the surrounding space, and, of course, mirrors in frames that visually add a couple of square meters that are missing for a holistic decoration will be a good decoration image.
The dormitory, like any other room, needs decor, since accessories will give the interior a final touch. Only the approach to the process should be serious so as not to upset the harmony of neoclassicism.
Looks amazing bedroom with the following items:
- tall vases with floral ornaments;
- curtains topped with frills and lambrequins;
- mirrors in powerful bronze or gilded frames;
- columns, arches, stucco molding with elements of gilding;
