Five ideas for decorating your home in New Classic style

Furnishing a home in new classic style means creating a defined and balanced harmony among all the elements in the rooms: furniture design, materials, color palettes, and finishes. It goes without saying that this approach to interior design will focus on a specific style, which will represent the aesthetic “heart” of the spaces and according to which furniture and accessories will be chosen.

In this excursus we want to offer you some interesting ideas for furnishing your home in New Classic style, focusing on the beautiful collections part of the Angelo Cappellini catalogs.

Before going into the aesthetic suggestions we have in store for you, it is important, however, to take a step back and define the key features of what is also called the “revisited classical style.”

What is New Classic style

The main feature of New Classic style is that it smoothly combines vintage furniture elements, therefore reminiscent of the past, and minimal stylistic choices that instead draw on more contemporary furniture trends.

If we were to identify a synonym for this particular style, it would almost certainly be “creativity”: indeed, from New Classic environments we expect a formidable, fascinating reinterpretation of classical aesthetics in a way that integrates synergistically with current living spaces. The personality of the environments is remarkable, prevailing: we are not faced with layouts that are rarefied in color and minimized in the number of pieces, but rather with spaces that are rich and sumptuous without ever being excessive.

Those who choose interior design with a vintage heart and a modern approach will also have the advantage of being able to leave a lot of room for personal taste: what is important is to furnish tastefully, choosing exquisite design pieces that, while lavish and elegant in form, remain essentially simple to enjoy visually. Neither are the colors ever exaggerated but, on the contrary, clean and well-defined, both in the furniture elements and in the floors, walls, and upholstery.

Indeed, color plays a key role in New Classic style because it is functional to the sophistication of the overall look. One can opt for seemingly basic color choices, such as white black, and even pastel hues, but skillfully mixing them with brighter, bolder hues. Popular palettes for New Classic environments include hemp, rope and ivory, but always with more vibrant color points, perhaps in shades of deep green, burgundy, petrol, mauve and teal.

Finally, as far as accessories and furnishings are concerned, while not the focal point of the rooms, they will remain important details to be selected with the utmost care.Again, the New Classic style prevides for a skillful mix of retro-flavored pieces and more contemporary elements. Thus, combinations of low tables as supports for elegant candleholders ; floor lamps of clean, linear design juxtaposed with sparkling chandeliers; and light, light curtains paired with textile coverings of more solid and sumptuous textures will prove perfect. Wood paneling to embellish the walls is also good, as are prints and canvases that reflect the artistic taste of the hosts.

The New Classic as seen by Angelo Cappellini: here are five rooms of exclusive style

Now that we have explained the main characteristics and peculiarities of the New Classic style, we can fully immerse ourselves in its atmospheres by looking at it through the eyes of a brand that has made timeless elegance its trademark.

For Angelo Cappellini, a New Classic style home is a combination of shades, colors and shapes, a play of contrasts, references and quotations capable of exciting and telling unique stories. As always, utmost care is devoted to finishes and the careful choice of materials, all of which are precious: from woods to marbles, from bronzes to fabrics, perfect for enhancing the splendor of inlays and decorations with an exquisitely crafted flavor.

The New Classic settings we present, all designed by Angelo Cappellini‘s designers and art directors, are placed in equally exclusive locations: Monte Carlo, Milan, Paris, Moscow and New York.

However, true elegance knows no geographical or temporal boundaries, and it is precisely its universality that makes its manifestations perfect for any time and any place.

Casino Royale: in Monte Carlo, the atmosphere of the rooms recalls all shades of blue

The blue color comes in multiple variations in the Casino Royale setting, a New Classic-style residence in Monte Carlo: aquamarine, Prussian blue, ultramarine, peacock, indigo, sky blue, cyan, and cobalt. Multiple shades to interpret all the moods of the sea and sky. After all, we are located in one of the most precious corners of the Mediterranean.

As a whole, the environments are presented airy, bright and give total color immersion without ever being overpowering: the copious natural light input, combined with light-colored wood floors, contributes to lighten the look and, at the same time, to focus attention on the exquisite choice of each piece of furniture.

in these spaces, the New Classic style is reflected in the upholstery patterns and in marble surfaces, in the workings and in the carvings enhanced by the gold color, the impeccable mix of curvilinear and soft elements – chosen, for example, for sofas and armchairs – and clean, minimal lines for coffee tables, the large dining table where wood is mixed with mirrored surfaces, stools and accessories.

In Milan, the New Classic style becomes Eclectic

New Classic is, almost by definition, an eclectic style. And that is the name Angelo Cappellini gave to the Milanese setting in these images: spaces with incredible personality, enhanced by bold color choices. The darkened floor becomes the canvas on which to bring out the refined lines of chairs, tables and sideboards, their fine workmanship, and the textural texture of textile furnishings such as rugs and upholstery.

There is also room for animalier suggestions, but told in a refined, almost understated way, especially as they are paired with pieces that look like they came out of a salon of secular aristocracy. The ensemble is extraordinary in character and juxtaposition, a trait d’union between the past and the present in which fabrics and leathers work in synergy with marbles, metals and wood essences.

No detail is left to chance, and the color purple-present in only a few, strategic places-attracts the eye, seducing it.

Bohemienne: the New Classic style lands in Paris

For this beautiful home on Rue de Palmiers in Paris, Angelo Cappellini chose furniture in the New Classic Bohemienne style that would express all the sophisticated tradition of French design-interpreting it then with the Italian taste that is an integral part of all the brand’s pieces.

Wood is the prince of every room, embellished with details and gold workmanship that make every piece of furniture a true work of art. The house thus created is a suspended casket made of Hausmannian ceilings, classical cornices, mirrors, stucco, white paneling that enhances the large French doors, and precious floors that turn into pathways from one room to another.

In this case, the “painter’s canvas” is very clear, almost white except for some rooms. And so it is that the sophisticated movements of the textile furnishings, the color choices of the armchairs and sofas, and the fine intensity of the furnishings-all functional, but above all, beautiful-emerge. There is something playful about this residence, almost a calm chaos, and a borderless exoticism immersed in a timeless metropolitan mood.

Hamptons: the residence of New York’s Dolce Vita is caput mundi of New Classic style

Hermitage: in Moscow, the New Classic becomes a retreat for relaxation

Splendid, sumptuous, lavishly rich: the interior design for this “Hermitage” residence furnished by Angelo Cappellini is a riot of textural and chromatic sensations that strikes the senses, giving the feeling of total immersion in the spaces. Large rooms, generous in size from the very high ceilings, in which, however, it seems easy to relax, to gather, to find oneself.

In the placement of each piece of furniture, an inner vitality that burns fully emerges: the choice of the color red, including burnished shades juxtaposed again with golden details, is not casual. However, even in this opulent setting, the New Classic style knows how to stand out in many small details: from the coffee table in the living area, with its marble surface and oval base, simple and clean, to the armchairs, linear and rigorous.

The bedroom communicates all the majesty of color and design choices, of the perfect blend of solid forms and lavish workmanship to be observed down to the smallest detail. The blue velvet headboard of the large bed, beautifully carved and finished in gold leaf, brings to mind the sophistication of the most aristocratic settings without detracting from the overall contemporary feel of the space. The sophisticated dormeuse with walnut frame and golden decorations, upholstered with burgundy fabric and enriched with precious complements, seems to enclose this multi-sensory impact room.

It is like living in a whole world without leaving your front door.
