Let’s delve deeper into each step.

1. Create a customized mood board

Creating a customized mood board will help you outline the final look you want for your Renaissance style living room right from the start.

To perform this first step correctly, keep in mind the typical aesthetics of a Renaissance furniture scene:

• A colour palette based on the juxtaposition of golden hues and warm walnut finish tones.
  
  
• Furnishing elements with cymatia, friezes, columns, engravings: small details that characterize Renaissance opulence.

2. Decorate the walls

Walls are the background for the entire furnishing composition: this is why it’s essential that you focus on decorating the walls right from the start.

The fanciest rooms reach their maximum artistic expression with neutral or patterned wallpaper with classy motifs, such as arabesques and Moorish motifs with golden hues.

3. Choose the finest fabrics to upholster your sofa, armchairs, chaise longue and footstools

In the third step, you should choose the finest fabrics to upholster your sofa, armchairs, chaise longue and footstools.

Arredoclassic offers a wide range of high quality fabrics to upholster your living room seats, all customisable to meet your requests. Specifically:

• Velvet
• Lampas
• Wool
• Linen
• Cotton
• Satin
• Brocade
• Damask
  
  

4. Choose elaborate coffee tables and bookcases

To obtain a final result that perfectly reflects the Renaissance style in all its beauty, choose elaborate coffee and end tables and bookcases.

These furnishing elements - essential to complete your room - must match the rest of the furniture. For this reason, they should be chosen with great care, by taking into account their details and décors.

5. Choose elegant decorating lighting

In every furnishing context, decorative lighting plays an essential role. This is why you should opt for classy solutions, to enhance your Renaissance style furniture.

For general lighting, choose large ceiling lamps or crystal chandeliers. For accent lighting, choose stained or layered glass wall lamps with golden inserts.

6. Top off the room with furnishing accessories that match the furniture

When furnishing your living room, accessories make all the difference. Complete the scene with fancy accessories placed on tables or cabinet shelves, such as:

• Hand-painted chinaware
• Vases and decorative plates with elaborate décors
• Silverware
• Crystal glasses
