Updated classic

This trend is a modern twist on the classic style. It's all about keeping that timeless elegance and those traditional forms but updating them with contemporary materials and neutral colours, and making them lighter and more practical.

It is really on-trend to blend classic with contemporary – cornices, moulding, parquet or marble flooring meet furniture with more simple lines, modern lighting, soft and neutral palettes and no over-adornment. With a base colour of off-white, pearl grey, beige or sand, combined with touches of black, navy blue, olive green or matte gold.
