Creating a Classic Styled Home

The Classic style has an enduring appeal that never dates, but becomes richer and more layered over time, growing with you and your family for years to come. This style is perfect for those who appreciate a sense of history and timeless charm in their homes. 

CLASSIC INTERIOR DESIGN 

The Classic style brings to life elegance, symmetry, and balance. At its foundation is a beautiful, neutral palette that honours traditional architecture but always maintains a warm, welcoming, and homely environment. It is well considered and has a strong balance of texture, pattern and colour. It is full of light and spacious living areas. 

The MyChoice Design Studio team have created four subsets within the style to help you really tailor your perfect Classic home – Plantation, Hamptons, Country and Vintage.

HOW TO ACHIEVE CLASSIC STYLING IN YOUR HOME
CLASSIC FACADES

The exterior of a classic home features grand facades that evoke a sense of permanence and elegance. Balanced and symmetrical designs with evenly spaced windows and doors are a key characteristic.  

CLASSIC KITCHEN INTERIOR DESIGN 

Kitchens are the heart of the classic home. Choose profiled cabinetry doors to create the look and add overheads with glass fronts to add colour to the kitchen and stock them with your most colourful crockery. Finishes are extremely important, opt for polished chrome or nickel for tapware and handles. Handles should feature on all cabinetry with preferably knob handles on cabinets and small drawers, and a cup or detailed pull handles on larger drawers. 

CLASSIC DESIGNED BATHROOM 

Classic designed bathrooms are both luxurious and inviting. Choose traditional polished edged mirrors in either a rectangular or oval shape. Accompany with round edged tapware with polished chrome of metallic finishes in brass or gold. Opt for traditional freestanding baths with a solid base or claw feet with soft edges for basins to enhance this look.

CLASSIC FLOORING

The choice of flooring is crucial in classic interior design. Timber floors to main areas in either a herringbone pattern or a wide board to ground the space create a sense of history. 
Carpet creates warmth in the bedrooms. Choose a warmer tone to complement the timber flooring and the main wall colour. Organic tones inspired by the surrounding landscape are a great option. 

CLASSIC TILING

Keep the tiling choices consistent through your home for a seamless flow. Use a large format, natural inspired stone floor tile in light to medium warm tones. Create a beautiful focal point with subway tiles in the layout of herringbone, brick bond or a chevron pattern.

 
CLASSIC LIGHTS

Lighting in classic interior designed homes is both functional and decorative. Wall lights create ambiance in a classic style and are a great feature in lieu of art. Large oversized lamps are an inviting way to connect spaces. Pendant lighting over a dining table creates a welcoming and inviting space. Choose island pendants to complement the finish of the cabinetry handles by highlighting the same finish. 

Designing your home can be pretty exciting but can sometimes feel overwhelming with the endless possibilities. That’s why our dedicated MyChoice Design Studio team are here to guide you every step of the way in styling your new home.
