Classical is a broad design style inspired by the architecture and decorative arts of Ancient Greece and Rome. Characterised by symmetry, proportion and restrained ornament, Classical design incorporates columns, pediments, acanthus leaves, urns and geometric forms. For centuries it has influenced furniture, architecture, lighting and interior decoration, forming the foundation of Georgian, Neoclassical and Empire styles. Classical interiors continue to be admired for their timeless elegance and balanced proportions.
