Timeless Elegance: Renovating an Office in Contemporary Classic Style

Combining traditional elements, clean lines, and simple contemporary forms: this is the proposal of the contemporary classic style. The most classic design is reinterpreted in a contemporary key through new solutions and cutting-edge materials. In contemporary classic, tradition and innovation meet, finding a perfect balance. This style is ideal for renovating a prestigious office. Let’s explore why and how.

What is Contemporary Classic Style?

The contemporary classic style is distinguished by both elegance and comfort. The colors and materials of the contemporary classic style are neutral and natural. White, beige, and gray prevail. We find materials such as high-quality fabrics, soft and durable leather, glass, and metal.

The meeting of tradition and innovation in contemporary classic style is mainly realized in the reinterpretation of great design classics, such as sofas, armchairs, and traditional chairs reimagined in contemporary materials and finishes. We talk about solid wood or marble tables, especially oval-shaped or in empire style. We refer to Chesterfield, bergère, club, or Louis XVI style armchairs. The same applies to upholstered chairs, always in Louis XVI style, or even in Chippendale style. Armchairs and chairs can stand out for leather upholstery, or in soft synthetic fabrics, in neutral colors like gray, beige, blush, taupe, and white. You can also opt for elements in petrol green, ultramarine blue, burgundy red, or wine red. Darker colors like brown and black are timeless classics. You can choose both glossy and matte finishes. It is important to remember that in contemporary classic more traditional forms can also be rendered through modern materials like glass, steel, and chrome. Metallic colors, skillfully used, will give a touch of light and modernity to the environment.

5 Tips for Furnishing in Contemporary Classic Style

The contemporary classic style is based on the harmony of different elements. To get the best from this style, it is important to carefully follow a series of precise rules:

1. Always seek balance: pair solid wood furniture with leather upholstery and soft fabrics. Always associate a glossy surface with another element with a matte surface. The elegance of this style lies precisely in its balance.
2. Maintain a consistent style in every detail: the contemporary classic style requires a certain rigor. Every element within the environment must be consistent with the rest. Lamps, rugs, and curtains must match.
3. Combine different materials: the combination of modern and traditional is mainly played out in the use of different materials. For example, pairing wood with glass, or with metal, will certainly create a refined contrast that is typically contemporary.
4. Do not overdo it: the play of contrasts in contemporary classic is very subtle, it is played on textures and shades. The color combination is decided tone on tone. Avoid overly bright colors and patterns, prefer elements in neutral and monochromatic tones.
5. Enhance a precious element: the contemporary classic style tends to be more linear than old-fashioned classic style. Avoid overloading the environment with paintings, frames, and knick-knacks. Choose very few elements, but with great impact, as if they were jewels. For example, you might focus on a frame with rococo carvings, or on a classic-style chandelier, perhaps in Murano glass, which will illuminate and enhance the room.
