Modern Classic Interior Design Ideas for Homes

Modern classic, sometimes called neoclassical modern, keeps the architecture of a classic room, such as wall panelling, crown moulding and a marble surround, and furnishes it with clean contemporary pieces in a light palette. A tailored sofa, a sculptural coffee table and a modern chandelier sit against traditional bones. The result feels elegant, timeless and easy to update. It is a favourite for Indian apartments because moulding is easy to add to plain walls, instantly lending character.

For Indian homes

PU moulding resists termites and humidity better than wood, and painting it the same colour as the wall keeps the look refined in standard-height Indian rooms.

3See the finished room in about 30 seconds, then try another.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between modern classic and transitional?

Modern classic keeps clearly classic architecture, like panelling and moulding, and contrasts it with modern furniture. Transitional blends the two more evenly, softening both the architecture and the furniture into a muted middle ground.

Does wall moulding suit small rooms?

Yes, if it is slim and painted the same colour as the wall. It adds texture and shadow without taking up floor space. Use fewer, larger panels rather than many small ones.
