Classic interior design is structured, ornate and balanced with decor rich in colour and details. This interior style often includes elements like florals, intricate patterns, borders and central medallions in diamonds, octagons and hexagons.

Modi by IDC

You can create a luxurious yet inviting look with a modern take on this classic style like this elegant entrance by IDC. The mixture of textures and colours in the white marble flooring, dark, moody Persian knotted rug and wooden stair rail adds visual impact. Along with gold touches and fresh blooms, all these elements create the perfect amount of contrast for a beautiful space.

Creating contrast is important because it gives your space lots of visual interest. This could be with complimentary colours like the classic black and white or something with more colour like blue and orange. You can create contrast with textures, size, shapes and materials too to create a visually striking space that enhances the different elements just like IDC did.
