In our last post Three Steps to Define Your Decorating Style, we gave you some tips on how to figure out what your decorating style is like. We provided some exercises to go through and the result was to help you see that your style falls into one of four categories:

• Classic Style – Timeless Elegance
• Modern Style – Color, Contrast and Clean Lines
• Cozy Style – Comfort and Warmth
• Vintage Style – Eclectic, Quirky, Curvy and Historic

In this article, we will discuss what it means to have a Classic Style.

A classic never dies. With this style, you create a formal lifestyle that will most likely be “in style” forever. Traditional furniture, old world accessories and clean lines establish a look that wears very well over time and feels timeless. Think of your favorite Grace Kelly movie or take a visit to Tiffany & Co for your inspiration.
Decorate with:

• Delicate furniture with tapered legs and clean lines.
• Hang a grand chandelier!
• Choose rich, dark woods for furnishings.
• Use neutral, pale and soft colors on walls and upholstery.
• Include metals, glass and marble in your decorating (like mirrors, a classic bust or interesting sculpture.)
• Choose luxurious fabric like velvet and silk.
• Remember to balance everything symmetrically.

Wall Slicks that go well with this style are: Chandelier wall stickers, Damask wall decals and our Ceiling Relief wall sticker.

In our next post, we will go into details on what defines the Modern Style. Until then, happy DIY decorating from your friends at Wall Slicks, the Original Wall Decal Store.
