Are you fond of contemporary interiors and even those that are rustic, but there’s something about the look of classic interior design that you just can’t shake? As with the black cocktail dress, some styles will remain timeless. While many people shy away from classic designs, whether it is in the kitchen, bedroom or living space in fear of their homes looking too safe and lacking personality, there is a reason they’re classic and ever so popular. They are able to transcend throughout time and they are flexible enough to be ornate or casual, as well as to be transformed in multiple other looks. If you’re considering featuring a classic design in your kitchen take note of these top six popular features:

White or cream colored cabinetry
Simple architectural details
Honed black countertops or white marble countertops
White subway tile
Simple cabinet door styles such as shaker
Neutral color palettes

It all comes down to your tastes and how you love to cook and entertain. Some people prefer plain white dishes so their meal becomes a work of art against a white canvas. Our inspirations are personal and come from all areas, so they are never wrong! For professional help creating a classic design in your kitchen call Ashley Campbell at 800-684-6028.

Are you satisfied with the design of your interiors for the most part, yet you still feel as though something else is needed? While you may not need any more furniture or accessories we suggest you stir things up with the addition of stripes. Stripes continue to be popular year and year and there’s a reason why; they bring the unexpected to design and visually expand it. And stripes are not just relegated to upholstery and accents. A bold use of striping to wall color and treatments can add horizontal drama or vertical height to a room.

And even though they’ve been popular for years they become a little more personalized and creative every year. Very rarely will you see stripes in only two alternating colors, but those applied in numerous ways featuring a variety of widths and colors. Take a look at how stripes stir up these interiors…
