Classic Style for the Drawing Room

Even having a large apartment, you can apply some popular techniques to turn your room into a fully-fledged Classic styled masterpiece. Gypsum or PVC friezes and stucco imitating elements can be bought in a wide range of choices at the building market. Also, you can buy a cheaper analog crystal chandelier made of Plexiglas or other imitation.

 When decorating your Classic inclined drawing room, don’t forget about pictures and mirrors. Pictures can be in a wide range of thematics: they can be personal or family portraits, natural motifs, or some impressionistic patterns. The main thing is to make the picture resonate with the surrounding atmosphere; it should be the garish blot on the calm interior. The same relates to using the mirror. It can be of any shape (but oval if preferred) and its location is not strictly determined. However, the only cautionary recommendation is not to place it in from of the entrance door.
