Drawing Room Interior Design in Different Living Spaces and Styles

The drawing room is an old name for a living room and is related to the term of retiring and “withdrawing” from the common space of the house (hall) to chat and entertain guests. This word is still in usage in the UK, where it was originated, and related to royal castles with a special relaxing space. So, we will review some tips and successful photos of drawing room interior design in different living spaces and styles. This can significantly reduce your time on renovation and planning of the arrangement. Just be inspired with good examples of design art and make sure that the drawing room of your dream is not so hard to achieve.

Classic Style for the Drawing Room

Of course, if we use such a word for the living room, we probably think about the classic design with a crystal chandelier, spacious place, stucco, and fireplace. 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.

Decorative elements, touristic souvenirs can also add charm and authentication to the Classic drawing room. You can use vases with flowers, figurines, decorative mats, and even books to add sophistication and elegance to your living space.

Unusual decorative items as a chandelier or wicker coffee table can bring the room style closer to Vintage or Casual styles. Also, this room will still retain many traits of Classicism and ancient time. In fact, there are not so many trends that change as time going. So, there is no fundamental difference and strict lines between many styles that can be contributed as classic ones.

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.

Modern Styled Drawing Rooms

If you tend to minimalism and less decoration, anyone will tell you to refer to modern variants of finishing and arrangement. This applies to any type of room’s geometry and architecture of the building. Also, such an approach will make you able to save time on the renovation, modern furniture will fit anyways. You can omit to fill the room with decorative items if you consider them unnecessary.

However, there are lots of examples when you can combine styles and even whole epochs together by mixing up different interior items. For example, filling the room with unusual interior elements, choosing non-standard upholstery for furniture or Classic pattern for wallpaper or wall painting and you’ll achieve an absolutely unique original drawing room.

Casual style is the most torelable one for any kind of decoration and interior elements. You can bring almost any furniture, floor covering, wall finishing and still you will have the possibility to combine color and form in the correct proportion.

You can also revive the casual style with bright elements, giving them the right color composition. As a result, some variants of Shabby Chic can be introduced into the interior.
