1. Setting the right color palette

Every self-respecting interior design project begins with a decisive first step, that is setting the right color palette for the furnishing context. In this case, the neoclassical style calls for a range of soft, neutral colors such as cream, ivory, gold and silver.

Shades of this type add aesthetic depth to your dining room.

For this reason, we recommend that you create a furnishing composition perfectly in tune with the color standards typical of this style.

 

2. Painting the walls or decorating them with wallpaper

To start decorating your dining room correctly, you should start from the walls.

Choose according to your preference: paint using pastel shades or wallpaper in a neoclassical style with classic style patterns or arabesques).

In both cases, these decorative solutions will immediately express elegance.

In addition to providing the room with practical illumination, decorative lighting is ideal to create a very welcoming atmosphere. To decorate with elegance the dining area, choose neoclassical style lamps.

We recommend combining the use of several lighting solutions from different materials.

Opt for majestic chandeliers and/or glass or crystal body. You could also select table lamps with a gilded wooden, copper, iron or brass stand.

Use classic design decorative lamps to communicate through lighting the kind of mood you wish to convey in your dining room: cozy, convivial, and stimulating.

The atmosphere of each room will take shape above all thanks to precious decorative details such as friezes, cymas and columns.

Unique details that not only embellish the furniture but also enhance its stylistic power.

5. Selecting a dining set of neoclassical inspiration

Tables and chairs together form a fundamental part of the dining room furniture. In order for them to match the style of the furniture, they must meet the neoclassical style rules.

Choose seats with slender lines and fan-shaped backrests, finished with fine fabrics and square tables, enlivened by important gilding along the edges.

To complete the composition, you could place tables and chairs on the large classical-style carpet. Make sure that the carpet is large enough to host the dining table and chairs.

A decorative touch that will not go unnoticed and will add comfort and style to your dining room.

 

7. Decorating with fine furnishing accessories

To further embellish the room, use the decorative power of fine furnishing accessories such as vases with gilded details and bas-reliefs, brass candelabras with gold or silver lacquer, decorated table lamps and decorative hand-painted dishes to hang on the wall.

All items of great visual impact that pay homage to the neoclassical style, and lend a luxury look to the dining room.
