Design School: Classic-Contemporary Style

The classic-contemporary style creates an extremely refined environment with a continuous dialogue between classic and modern.

It is an innovative trend whereby two opposite styles create a winning combination. But how can there be such a match without creating conflict?

Attention to detail

When the choice of furniture falls on the classic-contemporary style, what matters most is the attention to small details. By doing so, you will avoid the unpleasant effect of contrast between the two opposite styles. But how to achieve the perfect combination?

The first step is establishing what will be the predominant style to bring out in a house. For a discreet contrast, it is advisable not to choose contrasting colors, but preferably light colors. Those who love strong contrasts and paradoxical effects, can make an explicit and clear dualism combining classic shapes with modern finishes, or vice versa.

Knowing the classic style

To make a good choice of furniture, it is necessary to know the two subcategories of the classic style: the Louis XVI style and the Victorian style. Both have one thing in common: the quality of the wood rich in decorations and inlays. To give a contemporary twist to these lines you can choose, for example in upholstery, fabrics in contemporary prints or even pop, as in the Creazioni collection.
