New classical interiors pull decor inspiration from both traditional and modern interior styles, creating transitional spaces that are immaculately tasteful and elegant. This refined interior aesthetic appears in our first featured home design within a predominantly white and pale grey palette, with muted colours weaving in via accent furniture and olive green bedroom decor. Colour combinations deepen as we embark upon our second home tour, where rich jewel tones and warm wood grain form a sumptuous new classical decor scheme. Panel moulded walls, decorative boiserie and smart crown moulding frame the high-ceilinged rooms of both abodes, whilst fitted furniture draws out sleek contemporary lines, and metallic accents add bright lustre.
In Novosibirsk, Russia, a small sectional sofa strikes a deep red accent into the centre of an airy white and pale grey living room decor scheme.
Layered drapes hang an eye-catching, sophisticated frame around average-sized windows, creating added grandeur. Panel moulding fashions a uniform wall decoration across the TV wall.
A plush sapphire lounge chair and matching footstool contrast richly with the dark red couch and its burgundy throw. An attention grabbing piece of art pulls the two contrasting colours together upon the living wall.
Five upholstered dining chairs bring two different coloured finishes to the table, which prevents the elegant set from appearing overly formal and stuffy within the classical surroundings.
A bank of modern storage units are built around the doors leading off the main living space. Smooth matt white doors blend the units into the white backdrop of the room, with only the metallic handles alerting the eye to their presence.
In contrast, the interior doors feature classical moulding and are painted grey to match the grey baseboard.
A fluted glass closet stores coats and shoes by the home entryway. Interior lighting highlights the pretty texture of the doors.
A mirrored wall conceals the door to the powder room on the opposite side of the entryway. A deep red vanity stool injects a little colour.
Oak chevron flooring runs right from the front entry door all the way through to the bedrooms.
Inside the master bedroom, an olive green classical wallpaper spreads a dense botanical pattern around three walls of the bedroom, pausing only for a clean white panelled TV wall.
A gold chandelier adds a luxurious touch to the master bedroom, which also serves as the nursery.
A modern, linear vanity table crisply underlines a traditional vanity mirror. An elegant grey dressing table chair completes the ensemble.
The grey upholstered bed perfectly matches the room’s pristine grey painted trims.
Inside the shared kids’ room, the muted green decor palette continues. This time green elements are coupled with warm apricot accents and a contemporary arch shape theme.
Modern wall sconces provide reading light over the two apricot upholstered kids’ beds, where arch motifs paint a fun feature wall.
A double kid’s study space is equally divided to avoid sibling arguments. Matching wardrobes flank each side.
The master walk in wardrobe is fitted with two facing walls of clothes storage. A wonderfully tall window floods the narrow dressing space with bright natural light.
A full length mirror adds a shiny brass accent to the pale blue-grey and white dressing room decor palette.
Natural baskets hold small accessories within easy reach.
White containers stow away seasonal and occasional items.
In the bathroom, brass accents create warm, luxe moments against a pure white canvas. Grey stone tiles cover an elevated platform beneath the bathtub.
A floral display and candles create a spa-like vibe on a small brass side table.
White subway tiles line the cistern concealment wall and the wet zone.
The brass accent climbs a towel rail between the bathtub and a floating vanity unit.
White units store laundry facilities.
The laundry room storage cabinets are thoughtfully designed to hold all of the household cleaning supplies and equipment.
Our next classical apartment design is located in the old town of Bratislava, Slovakia. A rich emerald green sofa makes the boldest colour statement in the lounge, with a traditional living room rug providing intricate pattern and interest.
The quirky light fixture in the living room is the Moooi Perch Light Branch, which looks just like a row of white cockatoos peering down from a bough. A set of wall mounted plates depict an entirely modern take on classical art.
A glass coffee table set nests in the centre of the lounge, where their clear glazed tops allow the pattern of the carpet to show through. Classical artwork is framed with a panel of decorative boiserie.
A sapphire upholstered bench is paired with a formal entryway table, where a metallic wall treatment richly lustres.
Inside the snug, a red persian rug is laid at an angle to the modern grey sofa. Decorative wall mirrors reflect a beautiful chandelier.
A small study area sits in the light from the window.
The plain white powder room is enriched with brass fixtures and a matching round vanity mirror.
Green dining chairs bring enlivening colour to a soft grey and satin gold kitchen design.
A black 4 poster bed darkly contrasts with golden decor elements. See more 4 poster beds here.
A classical bust adorns a chic burgundy console unit in the bedroom. A tufted grey bedroom chair is accessorised with a coordinating burgundy accent cushion.
Contemporary bathroom vanity lights and a huge wall mirror make a bold ensemble with a sapphire blue vanity unit and a modern matt black basin.

Neoclassical decor first emerged in 18th-century Britain and France, drawing from classic Roman and Greek architecture and art. It originally highlighted ornamental columns and reliefs, gilted accessories, plush swags, and opulent furniture. As time moved on, the neoclassical interior style evolved to include chic modern pieces that gently meld with the classical influence. Now, the transitional neoclassical interiors that we feature here today have a bolder and sometimes more minimalist modernity driven through highly ornamental surroundings. The juxtaposition of uber contemporary against intricate classical detailing creates inspiring spaces that are firmly planted in the present, with a wistful glance over the shoulder to the elegant past.

In the first of our three featured home interiors, we visit an impressive, lofty ceilinged living room that is blessed with a parade of dramatic double doors. A large area rug gathers the lounge furniture at the centre of the large room, beneath low hanging modern pendant lights.
A fireplace flickers warmly amidst the cool white decor. A white marble topped TV stand occupies the wide alcove on one side of the hearth, whilst a matching sideboard fills out the other.
The tufted modular sofa is detailed with copper embellishments, which add an unexpected twist to the pale upholstery. A piece of modern abstract art draws coppery brown tones to wall space behind the couch.
In the kitchen, a contemporary dining room pendant light descends upon a modern table. Two simple yet stylish wall sconces light the wall nearby.
The unique dining set backs directly onto the kitchen island, which is surrounded with a white marble upstand to prevent water escaping from its sink area.
A minimalist brass faucet elegantly serves the integrated marble sink.
A modern chandelier helps to visually anchor a small sitting space, which lands on a round rug. A small sofa and matching sage green lounge chair face each other in a conversational arrangement across a round coffee table.
The seating area sits in audience to a wonderful grand piano. A second, matching modern chandelier is hung in the piano room, where it waits to cast a spotlight on the talent.
The modern home office is furnished with abstract, minimalist furniture. White marble blocks support a simple wooden desk top, whilst plain wooden wall shelves float without brackets or ornament.
A minimalist window seat is flanked by linear, glass fronted storage units.
A grey swivel chair compliments the subtle grey vein in the marble accented desk design.
In the master bedroom, a freestanding headboard wall moves the upholstered bed into the centre of the room. A modern wall sconce illuminates each side of the wood clad volume, casting soft light over two round bedside tables.
A third wall sconce lights up the corner of the bedroom, where a bedroom chair makes a comfortable spot for reading or dressing.
A working fireplace gives the bedroom a luxurious visual and physical warmth. A modern painting draws the eye up to appreciate the generous ceiling height of the room.
The shower enclosure pushes the freestanding bathtub into the window light.
Classical door moulding and deep crown moulding give the bathroom an opulent finish.
Identical black bedside tables wing the upholstered headboard, and another bedroom fireplace flickers at the foot.

Next, we travel to a home in Moscow where a unique textured rug makes a big statement beneath an arc floor lamp. A linear light track slices up across an attractive trim of highly decorative coving.
A gold coffee table harks back to the gilded trims of 18th-century neoclassical design. 3D wall art plays upon the idea of classical stucco relief.
Statement lounge chairs dash boldly contrasting black and white print into the arrangement.

A tall plant stand supports the cascading limbs of a majestic bonsai tree.
The fabulous tree curves around the window reveal to merge with the view, which can be observed from a romantic window seat.
In our final home tour, futuristic tube lights strike parallel tracks of searingly bright illumination across an exquisitely decorative neoclassical ceiling treatment. Below, a cushiony tufted sofa fashions an L-shaped border around the lounge area.
A round coffee table largely fills the centre of the space, which is minimalistically softened with a plain grey area rug.
A contemporary fireplace lays low across the marble clad TV wall.
Black window blinds darkly shade an impressive dual aspect window. Traditional panel moulding smartly trims fresh white painted walls.
A set of narrow shelves fill the sliver of wall space left over by the window to achieve a fully-fitted and customised look.

Classical sculpture is displayed on a simple art plinth by gracefully arched windows.
Proceeding under a wide archway, we move into the open plan kitchen diner area. A large dining room pendant light hangs a translucent paper shade, which allows the natural light and landscape to shine through from the window behind it.
The spherical dining room pendant light complements a round pedestal dining table below it, where a decorative glass vase adds a pretty botanical centrepiece. Mid century style dining chairs encircle the white dining table with boldly contrasting black upholstery and dark wooden frames.

The curved lounge furniture juxtaposes sturdy mid century pieces in the open layout.
A tall archway connects two rooms, creating a beautifully framed vignette on either side.

Amongst an array of classic wainscot and decorative boiserie, we find a counterbalance of modern furniture pieces and unexpected colour palettes in these two glorious neoclassical style home interiors. Classic art makes statements of discerning taste and a certain social status, whilst the contemporary influences bear testament to forward-thinking and awareness of moving trends. Our first art-focused neoclassical home design is an elegant portrayal of en vogue archways, which effortlessly bridge the gap between classic design influences and new ideas. Our second featured home interior unleashes a jaw-dropping barrage of bright colour clashes from the pink and green spectrum, and merges trendy ribbed texturing and racetrack motifs within traditional walls.
Located in St. Petersburg, Russia, this neoclassical interior is styled with a chic Parisian touch. Arcuate lines form an elegant theme throughout and entice the eye to focal points such as to this Lady With an Ermine portrait by Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Stone plaster, mixed wood tones and brass finishes build the base palette.
Two more classic art pieces colour the living room wall with brilliant jewel tones.
A graceful archway defines the walkway between the living room and the formal foyer of the home.
An entryway island makes a grand centrepiece amongst multiple arched features. A custom-cut mirror fills one of the interior arches, to create a bespoke vanity area along with a clean white floating console table, matching vanity stool, and a brass Atollo lamp. A unique entryway bench stretches out beneath two decorative wall mirrors that reflect additional light into the space.
The rectangle dining table and kitchen bar stools carry a darker wood tone than the wood parquet effect floor tiles to create tonal interest.
A petite arch fireplace adds a dainty brass element to the open plan living room layout. A hearth filled with an assortment of decorative vases widens its understated presence.
The unique kitchen design is characterised by metallic cabinet fronts and a luxurious white marble countertop and backsplash. A chunky travertine kitchen island competes for the focal point under a contemporary pendant light.
Inside the bedroom, a whimsical wall covering behind the headboard features a flock of majestic cranes in flight. A swing arm wall lamp serves as a reading light.
A unique desk and matching chair set furnish a home workspace by the bedroom window.
A small white side table serves one side of the bed, whilst a set of narrow shelves leave space around the wardrobe.
Deep blue and rich brown accent decor create a restful mood.
In the powder room that’s located just off the entryway, the pedestal sink unit gently camouflages with its clay backdrop. A unique wall light snakes illumination by the luxe white countertop. A brassy glow warmly emanates from a recessed shelf within the cistern concealment wall, above a set of brass bathroom fixtures.
The master bedroom boasts a spacious dressing room and an ensuite bathroom.
Another illustrative wall covering characterises the unique ensuite bathroom. A mauve curtain draws a veil of privacy across a glass partition wall.
A beautiful star pattern tile fills the bathroom floor, toward a unique modern pedestal sink design that cuts through a white quartz countertop. A candelabra and an arched vanity mirror complete the romantic vignette.
Arched screens elegantly surround an unusual terracotta bathtub.
The interior design mood board for the apartment calls together influences from nature.

Inside our next featured home interior, we’re met with a loud living room colour palette. The Imola chair by Henrik Pedersen for BoConcept and a large area rug lay down bright magenta accents. Classic artwork sits within traditional panel moulding. Decorative boiserie frames the wall mounted TV.
The dining room chandelier drips with crystals above a modern dining set with a quirky colour combo. Green Gubi Beetle chairs and pink cushioned counterparts shake up the pale grey and white dining room decor. An attention grabbing pink kitchen stretches out behind.
Pink and blue flatware dress the glass table, along with gold cutlery. A simple vase of foliage brings in the green element.
As we move upstairs, we encounter a stunning pink glass inset balustrade that catches the daylight and a chic, art infused landing area. A brass art plinth shows off a classic bust sculpture, whilst a photographic print of flamingos complements the balustrade colour.
