What is classic and neutral home décor

There are many elements to be loved within this category, so to help you get a better understanding we have broken down the different, but beautiful, design styles:  

Neutral décor: Considered the backbone of interior design, neutrals offer a blank canvas for your home's personality to shine. Think soft hues like whites, beiges, and gentle pastels, coupled with natural textures such as wood and linen. It's all about simplicity and harmony, crafting spaces that exude warmth.

Traditional and classic home design: It's time to channel your inner aristocrat by embodying sophistication and elegance by drawing inspiration from historical styles. Classic décor features rich woods, ornate detailing, and luxurious fabrics like velvet and silk.

Pastel schemes:  Now, dive into a dreamy oasis of calm with pastel shades that whisper serenity. From blush pinks to muted blues, these gentle hues infuse rooms with a soft, welcoming glow. 

Timeless interior design: Transcending trends and fads, timeless design pairs with classic elegance to create a space that will never go out of style! It's all about quality furnishings with classic silhouettes and a scheme made up of neutral shades and subtle pops of colour.

Finding the perfect balance

We're letting you into a well-kept interior design secret that will transform your space, it's the 70/30 rule.

Although we absolutely adore neutral and classic styles, you do need to shake it up every now and then.

That's where the real fun begins. We suggest letting classic and neutral room décor rule 70% of your space while letting the other 30% run wild with other pieces and aesthetics which you love.

This is what will take your home from not only being as beautiful as a magazine cover but actually feeling like your space with your own individual flair.

Creating a neutral colour scheme

There truly is nothing more relaxing than a neutral palette with dashes of natural, pastel shades.

To master this delightful palette, begin with your neutral canvas—imagine creamy whites, subtle greys, and inviting beiges, laying the foundation for your tranquil oasis.

Seek out neutrals with warm undertones which will help your room feel like a warm embrace every time you enter.

Then, add pops of pastel! Think sage greens, blush pinks or soft lavenders which you can gently weave into your décor. These subtle accents add a playful dance of colour, bringing a touch of whimsy to your space.

Furniture choices and layouts

In the realm of classic and neutral interior design, selecting a piece of furniture that you believe will stand the test of both time and trends can be difficult.

Pick pieces with a classic silhouette that won't go out of fashion, look out for graceful curves, traditional details, and a sense of sophistication.

Think of regal wingback chairs, stately Chesterfield sofas, and oh-so-refined Queen Anne tables. These pieces exude sophistication and charm which laughs in the face of passing trends!

Don't overlook the little things either - intricate carvings, graceful curves, and subtle embellishments, all add depth and character to the furniture, making them as individual as you.

Size matters, too! Ensure your chosen masterpiece fits like a glove in your space, commanding attention while blending effortlessly with your home's aesthetic.

And above all, trust your instincts and choose pieces that resonate with your personal style and vision for your space. After all, classic never goes out of style!

Coastal: Get ready to sail away with light, airy spaces, natural textures, and soothing shades of blue and white which compliment the tranquillity of neutral and pastel interiors, bringing the seaside to your doorstep.

Minimalist:   Less is sometimes more. With clean lines and clutter-free spaces, minimalist design brings a sense of calm and balance to classic, timeless, and neutral interiors, proving that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Avoiding interior design mistakes

Getting stuck in a colour comfort zone: Don't let your room become a snooze fest with just one colour ruling the roost! While neutrals and pastels offer a serene backdrop, using only one colour family can lead to a lack of visual interest. Avoid the mistake of sticking to just one hue by introducing subtle variations in shades and tones to create depth and dimension.

Forgetting functionality: Sure, a room might look like it's straight out of a magazine, but if it doesn't work for you, what's the point? Don't sacrifice comfort and convenience for the sake of style. It's like wearing stilettos to a marathon—sure, you'll look fabulous, but you'll regret it later!

Disregarding personal style: While classic and timeless designs have universal appeal, it's essential to infuse your personality into the space. As beautiful as traditional style interior design is, you want to make sure you inject your own personality too. It's like adding your favourite toppings to a plain pizza—suddenly, it's uniquely yours, and everyone wants a slice!

How our designers create classic and neutral homes

Our expert, online Interior Designers are the masters when it comes to timeless interiors which embrace everything classic and neutral. We've pulled together some of our favourite designs to help you create your dream space.

Neutral living room ideas

Creating a traditional living room sometimes means letting your home's original features shine. In this front room, we've let the architecture do the talking, highlighting stunning features like the fireplace and alcove shelving while keeping the décor beautifully neutral.

The original wooden floor in this sitting room was allowed to shine due to the fresh, white walls - which is a perfect neutral colour for living rooms.

Who says neutral living rooms have to be boring?! Elegant touches such as the classic sitting chairs in a stunning blue shade add a pop of personality to this timeless lounge space.

Gold light fixtures, hardware and finishing touches create a truly classic look which adds sophistication to every nook and cranny of space.

And by layering soft furnishings and a few different patterns this neutral-coloured lounge is injected with personality and is the complete epitome of our 70/30 rule!

Neutral bathroom decorating ideas

When it comes to neutral bathrooms, our designers are the pros, no matter how big or small the space is!

Keeping the colour palette clean with warm neutrals allows our designers to go wild on some other design choices. The contemporary tiles placed vertically in the bathroom on the left and the terrazzo tiles on the right add a lot of character to these neutral spaces.

Gold is definitely a theme when it comes to creating a timeless and elegant look, the gold hardware in these two bathrooms makes the everyday plumbing look like a piece of artwork!

Let's not forget lighting - both of these neutral bathrooms have great artificial lighting which not only makes the space glimmer, but it also makes your morning routine much easier.

Classic and neutral kitchens

Seeing as kitchens are often such large spaces, going neutral can sometimes make the space feel a little too matchy-matchy. This is where we like to spice up the style a little to make sure the space is dynamic.

By maintaining neutrality in flooring and walls, you open the door to inject personality through elements such as cabinets or finishing touches. Take, for instance, our daring decision to introduce a dark blue island with classic shaker-style detailing—a bold stroke against the backdrop of neutral serenity.

Shaker-style panelling  really is the hallmark of classic kitchens and they're a perfect way to add more character to a kitchen with a neutral colour scheme. Their timeless appeal adds a layer of sophistication while breaking the minimalist look.

Opting for simple and neutral colour schemes works wonders in creating an illusion of spaciousness, ensuring your kitchen feels uncluttered and inviting—guaranteed to evoke a twinge of envy in your guests' hearts.

Cosy, neutral bedrooms

Choosing the perfect neutral hue for your bedroom is like finding the ultimate cosy cocoon – look for those warm undertones to ensure your sleep sanctuary feels like a dreamy escape.

We love implementing natural, pastel shades into neutral bedrooms as it adds to that serene feel while making the space feel a little more like your own.

When it comes to timeless bedroom furniture, think sleigh beds, plush upholstered headboards, or antique dressers – they're the VIPs that bring interest to your neutral backdrop.

No neutral bedroom is complete without some understated décor such as simple artwork or elegant lighting which are totally timeless but don't clutter up your bedroom too much.
