These six luxury neoclassical style interiors lavishly exude elegance from extravagant ceiling roses and stunning boiserie. The decorative design elements form a layered backdrop that sets an upmarket scene for gloriously decorative furniture pieces, huge eye-catching chandeliers, and high-end materials palettes of marble, natural woods, plus rich gold and brass accents. As we tour through this set of fabulous boiserie-kissed homes, we’ll also discover inspiration for impressive high-ceilinged living rooms, unique kitchens, grand dining rooms, enviable bedroom designs, and chic bathroom concepts. The pendulum swings between spaces steeped in classical contours and homes freshened with more contemporary ideas, meeting desires for all tastes and inclinations.
In our first featured home tour, we arrive at a luxurious living room setting with grand double doors that are topped with deeply decorative moulding. Traditional wainscotting trims the perimeter of the room, along with fabulously ornate crown moulding. In the centre of the space, the style pendulum swings into the more contemporary realm of modern furniture and a fashionable live-edge rustic coffee table.
In the dining room, a large and impressive wood dining table is teamed with the Easy chair designed by Pierre Jeanneret.
The kitchen stands entirely separate from the living areas.
A modern kitchen island curves an en vogue racetrack-shaped silhouette at the core of the space, which also serves as a casual dining spot or coffee bar.
The natural stone countertop melds smoothly with the warm tone of light wood kitchen cabinets.
The two archways in the entry to the bedroom create attractive framing around the head of the bed and a traditional fireplace.
The second of our six featured home designs is kissed with an unusual arrangement of boiserie, which straddles classical and contemporary influences.
The lounge furniture arrangement is strictly in the contemporary realm, with a linear modern sofa design and Groovy M chairs designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort.
A white sideboard rests quietly against the boiserie dining room wall. Double doors lead through from the white dining room into a unique kitchen design with a surprising red colour palette.
The dining room itself is a peaceful white and wood decor scheme with uplifting greenery. Stylish Pigreco chairs by Tobia Scarpa for Gavina seat eight around a grand modern dining table.
Inside the kitchen, red and white tiles supply an irregular pattern across the floor, worktop and backsplash. A built-in bench, small kitchen table and a couple of modern chairs fashion a cosy breakfast nook in the corner of the room.
The large bedroom is an all-white, light-filled neoclassical design that gleans character from elegant boiserie and a colourful book collection.
Third up, we have a crisp modern space that’s lavishly crowned with an extravagant ceiling rose design.
A modern chandelier clearly defines the dining area in the open plan living space, whilst a white modular sofa and ottoman arrangement loosely wraps a light-permeable metal room divider.
Behind the dining area, a white marble kitchen backsplash fills the entire height and width of the wall.
The unique kitchen design features a layered arrangement of units that mingle the boiserie aesthetic with minimalist slab fronted counterparts.
A wooden cutting board and a glass vase filled with dried pampas grass bring a splash of visual warmth to the cool white kitchen design.
In the bathroom, there is an explosion of pattern from terrazzo tiles.
Boiserie wall panels build a classical air around a modern freestanding bathtub and a contemporary brass bath tap.
A brass towel heater stores fresh linens on the terrazzo clad wall.
A square wall hung toilet and bidet set cut modern white silhouettes against the busy wall pattern.
The Monolith project is a 105 square metre apartment, located in Lviv, Ukraine. Slender boiserie panels exaggerate the height of the spacious living room. A set of Formakami pendants by Jaime Hayón for &Tradition make use of the high ceiling. A striking coffee table and a unique bud vase draw eyes to the floor.
