Valentine's Day isn't the only occasion to infuse romance or luxury into your home's decor, but the season of love certainly provides some inspiration!
There are many ways to incorporate the concept of classical romanticism into your interior design all year long, whether you want to add soft pink and vibrant red colour palettes in your home or focus on creating a pleasant atmosphere with vintage design.
What is the Romantic Style in Interior Design?
Romanticism, or the Romantic style, might trigger visions of dusty pinks, crimson reds and heart motifs, but Classical Romance's reality is very different. from the Romantic Era in the late 18th century, utilised elegant and elaborate design elements to create an overall decor style that brought a touch of femininity and poetry to a space, giving rise to romantic period design.
The modern version of the romantic design is more subdued, often combining pale, neutral colours, soft curves, and metallic details – however, florals remain a core feature of this trend, creating a vintage and ultimately decadent design.
The Emotion Of Colour
As a key theme of the Romantic Period, colour is one of the primary aspects that impacts the overall feel of any space, and when it comes to capturing a sense of romantic charm, soft, warm, neutral tones or pastel colours are perfect. Dusty pink, transcendent lavender, cream, olive green and gentle blues are all essential colours that evoke emotion, soften the atmosphere, and help you create a relaxed romantic mood.
A romantic interior design usually leans toward the feminine side, with democratic fabrics like lace and chiffon or those that have ruffles or floral designs. Romantic yet remarkable for its apparent simplicity, the infamous mistress of King Louis XV of France, ‘Madame de Pompadour’, uses a great mix of soft blues for an imperial, opulent effect in this classic oil painting. It invites the imagination to play on fantasies and narratives with the allure of romance. This is the perfect piece for the social spaces in your home, engaging in conversations around the revolution of the time.
Idealism Of Nature
Looking to nature for inspiration for the home has always been a key design element, as Romanticism is suspicious of science, and emphasised a glorification of nature and the emotion it brings. A beautiful nature scene in a romantic style can instantly change any room's ambience. Landscapes with artistic elements always work when used as the background of a room. ‘A view of Florence from the North Bank of the Arno’ is a fitting example. Breath-taking views give your interior decoration the lift needed to inspire in your chosen space. Whether residential, recreational, or corporate, romantic wallpaper mural will make your space more stylish, impactful and inviting.
