Once you have defined what it is that will help improve your room’s ‘bones’, you can then use some visual tricks to achieve this. Knowing this information is vital before starting your Classic-style décor or colour scheme.
Originally, the classic colour palette was derived from natural pigments and so produced a varied range of tones from soft, creamy whites and golds through to shades of taupe, brown, deep red, green and the more exotic shades of blue.

While the colour palette for a classic look may be broad, rooms should be decorated extremely simply. Sparing use of colour on walls looks best with either a lighter or darker shade for trims, mouldings and doors. Contrast limited wall colours with beautiful wood flooring or a superb quality, self-patterned wool carpet as a sophisticated backdrop.
If you are incorporating your classic look into a home which has extensive architectural features, such as panelled walls, picture rails and/or ornate cornices, be wary of the temptation to highlight each of these features with a different or strongly contrasting colour. This can serve to distract the eye when you are
attempting to create a considered, cohesive and structured interior.
