Professional interior designers constantly push the envelope, testing out new ideas and engineering new concepts. However, these pictures focus on the classic home interior designs that people have relied on for centuries. Hardwood floors, chandeliers and traditional seating arrangements can be found throughout these examples. Each room displayed is carefully designed with conservative tastes in mind. Tailored window treatments, soft lighting, executive desks and highly polishes finishes are tantamount to the classic home interior design scheme. What bedroom would be complete without a bed skirt and duvet? Showcasing the very best in home staging, each surface has a complimentary accent. Area rugs, vases and plants are also used to show how the classic living room, dining room, bed room and bathroom was intended to be designed.

Contrasting wood trains are used on the ceilings to create drama as well as give this home its own unique personality. A large open living room features a low sitting fireplace, light colored furnishings and huge windows. There are almost as many sitting areas on the interior as there are areas to sit comfortably in the backyard. Hidden wall cutouts and strategically placed windows help to give this mature home both modern appeal and the slightest touch of sophistication.
