Style Features
As photos of a classic-style bedroom show, this room is dominated by the splendor of furniture and decoration, strict symmetry, and sophistication of decoration.
Any detail of such a royal bedchamber is an inseparable element of the entire ensemble, harmoniously creating a single space.
The characteristic features of the classic bedroom are:
- Natural expensive materials;
- Calm pastel colors;
- Symmetry;
- Vintage furniture and decor items;
- Expensive objects of art (paintings, vases, figurines).
The interior of a bedroom in a classic style is quite an expensive pleasure. Therefore, when starting to equip your sleeping area, you should prepare for significant expenses.
It is not recommended to use classic decoration in a small room; this style will reveal all its charm only in large areas.
Symmetry
When decorating a bedroom, attention is paid to the relationship between furniture, decoration and decorations. Objects in the room are placed symmetrically - at the same distance from the axial point (bed, chandelier). Curved and broken lines and irregularly shaped figures are prohibited in the interior. The classic design features geometric contours:
- rectangles;
- ellipses;
- squares;
- circles

Items are proportionally distributed in the room, taking into account the rules. Paired elements add harmony to the bedroom interior. Bedside tables, armchairs and lamps are placed at the same distance from the bed. Repeating patterns on wallpaper and textiles create a feeling of completeness.

Color spectrum
The basis of a classic bedroom is a calm, aristocratically restrained color scheme. Soft natural shades, exquisitely ennobled with golden and bronze elements, will fit ideally into such a room.
Most often, light shades are chosen, with the only exception being dark brown woody colors, and this is also a tribute to fashion.
Bright bedrooms in a classic style look especially attractive when using:
- White shades. Bright snow-white is chosen extremely rarely and serves mainly to highlight exquisite bed linen, delicate porcelain, and ceiling moldings. Preference in decoration is given to vanilla, cream, light peach, pearl colors, shades of champagne, ivory, magnolia.
- Beige shades. Soft and cozy beige will fill the room with a special charm; it creates a subdued mood of privacy and light relaxation. It perfectly absorbs excess light, helps avoid shadows and promotes complete rest.
A classic-style bedroom in light colors can be decorated in golden tones. The luxurious soft shine and nobility of gold look elegant with white elements and exquisitely emphasize black tones. But gold decoration requires the presence of a professional designer: too much gilding can turn into vulgar bad taste.
Brown tones give the bedroom a mood of confidence and stability. Noble and expensive tree species are mainly responsible for this mood.
Background color scheme and color accents in the interior
For a classic bedroom, it is recommended to choose a warm palette - beige, sand, cream, olive or another. In such a room there is no place for bright flashy accents.
Monochrome and light colors play a major role in the classic style
An additional color can be a harmonizing brown, chocolate, cherry or thick green color. In this case, transitions from one tone to another should be smooth.
Subtle details in contrasting black highlight accents and enhance the visibility of curves and key elements.
One of the main manifestations of the classic style is the combination of gold and pastel colors
Golden shades will add solemnity and luxury necessary to create truly royal chambers.
Floor decoration
Traditional parquet or parquet boards are ideal for finishing the floor. In rare cases, wood is replaced with an expensive laminate that completely imitates natural material.
Light colors of the coating should match all other elements of decoration, dark colors are repeated in furniture items
A real carpet in a soft color with a small pattern will be a chic addition to the floor.
Layout features depending on the size of the room
Classic implies a huge number of voluminous details and accessories, while the room should feel spacious and grandeur. For such a bedroom you need to choose large rooms. More compact areas will require more careful attention to design.
Small bedroom
If desired, a classic bedchamber can be arranged in a small area. In this case, you will have to abandon unnecessary details. A large pattern or drawing will have a depressing effect on a person. Plain soft walls and light furniture will give the room spaciousness and freshness. Mirror inserts will visually expand the space.
Even a small bedroom in a classic interior looks cozy, because the style is inherent in grace
Heavy multi-layer curtains should not be used. It is better to hang lightweight natural curtains in the same color scheme as the overall interior. If there is very little space, it is recommended to discard some of the furniture and leave free space.
Large bedroom
A large bedroom area can be divided into several functional areas
In a large area, you can try to play with color. Deeper and richer tones will visually reduce the space, but make it more comfortable and homely. There is space for several zones - bedside, relaxation and beauty. There must be some free space left.
Wall decoration
The walls are designed to create a classic frame to the maximum extent possible. For them we select:
- Exquisite textile wallpaper with floral patterns;
- Noble wood panels;
- Elegant textured plaster.
Columns and half-columns will be a good addition to the royal bedchamber.
Classicism color palette
White bedrooms in a classic style are quite common, but shades of sand, blue, light green tones and rich burgundy can dilute the design.
They are the ones that go perfectly with the gilding and dark frames of paintings and furniture that are characteristic of the classics. The snow-white bedroom looks royally chic and divine.
For classicism, it is important to choose the right lighting. Moreover, the more there is, the better. It is better to find a chandelier with imitation candles instead of the usual shades. To maintain symmetry, there are dark sconces, and there must be lamps on the tables.
Curtains for a bedroom in a classic style should not be inferior in their chic and richness to the overall style concept. The design of curtains in a classic style bedroom should be made up of a large number of details: lambrequins, embroidery. However, you should not be zealous so as not to overload the entire interior.
Ceiling decoration
The ideal option is plain white paint or simple plaster. Snow-white baseboards are designed to complement such a frame; sometimes gilded moldings are used to raise the ceilings.
Two-level structures will look great in a spacious room. Such ceilings can be decorated with “antique” frescoes and golden paintings.
Furniture in classic bedrooms
Furnishing a bedroom in a classic style is quite a responsible process. Here you cannot simply buy a ready-made classic set from the collection of some furniture manufacturer. Buying and choosing just one bed can take a long time. Next, you will also need to select cabinets, chairs and cabinets. In large country houses, dressing rooms and boudoirs are often adjacent to the bedrooms, so the sleeping rooms themselves are freed from the need to equip storage systems. Of course, all furniture elements should be organically combined with each other. Therefore, if we decide to follow the baroque splendor when choosing a bed, then we will most likely have to stock up on armchairs a la Ren, bergere, as well as nightstands decorated with intricate carvings on graceful legs.
Canopy bed

shimmering with a muted lilac sheen, massive gold stucco molding, classic chandeliers with pendants, the edges of which reflect all the luxury of the furnishings - perhaps this is quite enough to feel like royalty every day. Just do not forget that canopies are usually not entirely appropriate in small rooms. In the case of a small space, instead of a massive canopy, you can attach a simple ring to the wall, which will become a support for a light veil of textiles flowing down.
"Eared" bed

It turns out that not only Voltaire chairs can be “eared,” but also beds. True, now such furniture is created not so much for the purpose of protecting from drafts, but for purely aesthetic reasons. A bed with “ears” will look great in neoclassical style. An excellent set with such a piece of furniture would be cabriole chairs and modest dark wood bedside tables.
Round bed in a classic interior

It is believed that a round bed takes up a little less space compared to standard rectangular models. This element of furniture is also interesting because it allows you to harmonize spaces of non-standard configuration. In the classic bedroom interior shown in the photo above, the bed is “supported” by a round stained glass ceiling insert.
Island fireplace with crown molding

From the point of view of space planning, an island fireplace is an excellent means of zoning a room. In the bedroom in the photo, the fireplace is installed almost in the center of the room, thanks to which the designers are able to distinguish between the sleeping area and the relaxation area. At the same time, thanks to the island configuration of the fireplace, you can enjoy the play of flames from any area.
Classic bergere chair and pouf

Bergere armchairs will easily fit into any classic space, regardless of whether we are talking about French classics or more modest neoclassics. It is noteworthy that there are many varieties of this element of furniture. You can choose a Marie Antoinette bergere or a hot air balloon. And if we equip this chair with a pouf to match, then we will get a kind of duchess, which is somewhat reminiscent of a chaise lounge.
Lighting
The main source of light remains the ceiling chandelier. Usually it appears in the form of a forged structure with an abundance of hanging sparkling droplets, crystal pendants, bronze and gold chains.
- In a small bedroom, such radiant splendor is replaced by symmetrical lampshades or imitation candles.
- Sconces and floor lamps are selected in the same style. Fabric lampshades and wooden bases will give the aroma of antiquity.
- The light bulbs themselves are chosen in the soft yellow spectrum.
Bright, cutting rays are not suitable for a sophisticated style.
Selection of finishing materials
You should take a responsible approach to the choice of finishing materials. You should not skimp on their quality, as the final result will depend on this.
Floor covering
It is recommended to use natural wood as a floor covering - parquet would be the best choice. Decoration in the form of a majestic pattern will make the room more elegant and highlight the main area - the bedside.
The floor of a classic bedroom can have a floral or geometric pattern
Also today, leading manufacturers offer high-quality laminate, which is difficult to distinguish from parquet boards. When creating an interior in the Renaissance style, you can use marble floors or its equivalent. Persian rugs with discreet patterns complete the decoration.
Vintage wallpaper and an artistic chandelier are often found in classic bedroom interiors.
Modern trends allow the use of a plain light-colored carpet. The bedroom will become more comfortable, and additional accessories and wall decoration will add solemnity and royalty.
Wall decoration
Classics are characterized by the use of luxurious paper or textile wallpaper, silk-screen printing, and Venetian plaster. A combination of the above and other materials by creating symmetrical panels is allowed.
A classic bedroom is decorated in subdued colors
The walls are decorated with stucco, friezes, and rosettes. Decorating the ledges with moldings in the form of columns will give the room a feeling of royalty and inviolability.
Stucco molding in the design of a classic interior should remain within the limits of rigor
The head of the bed can be designed in the form of a three-dimensional picture, personifying the ancient world. Hidden lighting will enliven the scene and take the owners of the room thousands of years ago.
Ceiling finishing
The ceiling of a classic bedroom can be decorated with frescoes or stucco
The ceiling, like the walls, in a classic bedroom is rarely even. It also contains stucco molding, characteristic of ancient times.
In the classics, it is possible to place a single-color ornament on the ceiling, including with gilding
It is possible to use suspended ceilings. At the same time, it is better to refuse gloss. A fabric base or an original pattern will be more harmoniously combined with the overall style and mood.
In the center of the room there is a beautiful formal chandelier. It is a mandatory attribute when decorating a bedroom made in a classic style.
Basic requirements for materials and shape of doors and windows
The doors to the bedroom are made in the same style as the room. If there is molding or gilding on the walls, its contours should be repeated on the trim or surface of the interior door.
Wooden doors in a classic style can be in the shape of an arch or rectangle
A classic room should be bright, so you need to choose a room with large windows. Their design should be approached carefully. Textiles and curtains play an important role in the described style.
Furniture
The main characteristics of furniture should be expensive wood, visual reliability and confident solidity.
Bedroom furniture in a classic style should be supplied as a single set; it is better to leave isolated items for modern decoration.
The central place is given to the sleeping place. In a large room, it makes sense to install it in the center of the room. The distinctive features of the bed are the massive carved headboard, forged parts, and gilded elements.
An elegant canopy will complement the bed, distinguishing it elegantly from other interior items.
- There are bedside tables next to the bed, and a chest of drawers or a closet is installed a little further away.
- For the main storage space, select a cabinet with hinged doors. Intricate carvings will be an unusual luxurious addition.
- A beautiful lady will need an elegant dressing table, chair or ottoman. Their upholstery is made of expensive fabrics and follows the pattern of curtains or walls.
Materials
To decorate a bedroom in a classic style, high-quality, expensive raw materials are used. The floor has parquet or natural wood boards. On the walls there is luxurious Venetian plaster, wallpaper or finely patterned silk. In a spacious room, a two-level structure with stucco molding and ornaments is mounted on the ceiling. If the room is compact, then take a plain matte canvas.

Plastic is rarely used in classic design. Natural stone (granite, marble, onyx) on window sills and countertops brings a sense of luxury to the bedroom interior. The material is combined with the glossy shine of furniture facades. In a matte room design, rough travertine is installed.

The trend is characterized by the use of textiles with a beautiful texture. Draperies made of brocade, silk or velvet are appropriate for windows. For a bedroom in a modern classic style, curtains made of satin, jacquard and chenille are relevant. Dense material is collected in folds using clamps.

Textiles and decor
Curtains for the bedroom in a classic style are selected from natural fabrics that perfectly allow fresh air into the relaxation room.
Preference is given to light tulle and thick curtains. The height of the curtains should completely cover the space between the floor and ceiling.
Additional attractiveness is created by:
- Tackles,
- folds,
- Fringe,
- Figured lambrequin.
A bedspread is included with the curtains. The jacquard fabric decorated with golden threads looks elegant. A silk bedspread will add freshness to the bedroom. Lilies, monograms, and roses are used as designs.
Decorative pillows are installed symmetrically at the headboard. The same materials that were used to make curtains or furniture upholstery are used.
Used as decoration:
- Pictures in golden frames;
- Mirrors with massive frames;
- Figurines and candelabra.
All items should give the impression of antiques, carefully passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, it is important to stop in time, without turning the sleeping area into a branch of the museum.
There is no place for modern items in a classic bedroom, so the TV and other equipment are hidden behind the fronts of cabinets or packaged in a wooden frame that matches the color and texture of the furniture.
Comfort, luxury, solidity, reliability, nobility, elegance, confidence - the synonyms of a classic bedroom can be listed endlessly, but its main advantage is to create the mood of maximum comfortable relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Bedroom lighting in classic style
The design direction is fully revealed with the right lighting. Light emphasizes the design shade, finishing and decorative details. For a classic style, it is recommended to organize a three-level system:
- Chandelier. A large central element with elegant lampshades or crystal pendants. The device is fixed on the ceiling to a rosette with stucco molding. Spot soffits are installed along the perimeter.
- Average level. Consists of floor lamps near the chairs and sconces on the walls. If the room is small, then floor parts are prohibited.
- Lower. Bedside nightlights and lamps provide additional illumination before bed.
Multi-tiered lighting will create a formal atmosphere in a classic bedroom. In a sleeping room, all elements are rarely used at the same time. In everyday life, there are enough 2 levels that combine with each other. For a cozy atmosphere, lamps with a warm soft beam are used.

Several switches are installed in the room. To control all lighting, a switch is placed near the entrance. Components for reading are left near the bed, and components for the work area are left near the chair. If the apartment has a “smart home” system, then all elements are administered remotely using a remote control.
For a small bedroom in a modern classic style, multi-tiered complex lamps are inappropriate. The more details, the smaller the room. Designers do not recommend choosing devices whose diameter is more than 80 cm. Instead of an arm chandelier with pendants, it is appropriate to use a laconic model with plain shades. If the ceiling is low, then install a flat version without decoration.
