Interior Style: Ancient History

Take a page out of the history books as a classical revival makes a comeback. Striking the balance between elegant and quirky, look to sleek column and arch designs or playful key prints and statue motifs for a blast from the past.

Style Tip: The relaxed neutral and blue color palette makes it easy to meld with existing décor styles to avoid an overly thematic feel.
