Modern classic in interiors is an extremely popular interior style. Hardly surprising. Apartments and houses decorated in this trend escape from the austerity of minimalism, and although they derive from a mixture of art deco style, Victorian opulence, and do not shy away from accessories inspired by ancient Rome and Greece, at the same time they do not overwhelm with the amount of decorations.
