Historical interior design

To create the atmosphere of the selected historical period in the interior, it is not enough to assemble the appropriate furniture. Historic styles also require appropriate finishes on large surfaces, floors and walls, and a few important details.
The secret of a good lie is supposed to be in the details. The design of historic interiors is an innocent lie - undoubtedly based on attention to detail.

Historic building design


The basis of the composition is the material, furniture, decor, from which the historical interior will be embodied, as well as its color, pattern and ornament. Wood and stone age are noble - their imitation does not have this advantage. For similar reasons, you shouldn't skimp on windows and doors, stairs or panels. High quality joinery will successfully serve and decorate interiors for decades.
The little details of the decor should also be carefully selected, especially the doorknobs - everyone who enters the room involuntarily looks at it. Other indispensable technical elements of the interior, from heating, to electrical, electronic, in turn, should be hidden from the views of family members and guests.
You should also pay close attention to wall and ceiling decoration issues. In the rich offer of ready-made elements of historical decor, you can easily find profiles, rosettes and ornaments that correspond to all historical periods from Baroque to Art Deco. Even a discreet stylistic accent in gold will look luxurious, especially if it is complemented by a copy of wallpaper from the 17th, 18th or 19th century.
A characteristic feature of traditional interiors, in our country, unfortunately destroyed by two terrible wars, is the build-up of styles. It is worth remembering and respecting the relics of earlier eras, even if they represent an outwardly external aesthetics. Examples: classic herringbone parquet flooring from the 1930s and 1950s and stylized English woodwork - luxury in a historic setting.
Also pay attention to the stairs. It has always been a representative element of the building, so today it is worth giving the staircase not only a functional, but also the most effective form.
From the choice of material - noble wood, chic stone or ancient cast iron.
Classic fittings are ideal for a historic house, manor, estate, city villa and will add aristocratic splendor. Spectacular baroque forms, enchanted by brass, even in the most modest of doors reflect the splendor of the royal palace.
The introduction of heating systems into elegant, historic interiors is one of the biggest aesthetic challenges in our climate. Modern radiators are absolutely inappropriate for the design of historic buildings. The solution could be a heating mat hidden under almost any floor covering - stone, ceramic or wood, even under parquet. Better yet, the atmosphere of past centuries recreates a properly styled fireplace or stove in a historic interior.
The design of a historical manor, family estate, villa, hotel, palace or castle is the restoration of historical buildings, the purpose of which is to preserve the unique historical buildings that form the appearance of our World!
