She’s bringing back old-world charm, and with elan! Take a deep dive into the know-how of the classical decor style, with the founder of furniture brand, Parrot and Lily.

Classical Design

The term classic decor often elicits impassioned reactions. It may be adoration, affection or complete detest. Many perceive it as boring and invariably associate it with a cream and brown colour scheme.

This could not be more inaccurate. Classic design doesn’t rely on restraining your options. On the contrary, it sets up a mixed playing field. Since all classic styles evolved organically, the pieces are an amalgam of more than one age. That is why, I feel knowledge of how classic décor works is a necessity when working in this realm. The axiom is what you leave out is as important as what you put in. Which is why I keep six considerations in mind when designing a classic space.
