At Discern, our designers are constantly at work, creating interiors spaces, inspired by 16 different, proprietary Looks that the Design Studio has put together, based on the Discern Style Guide. Here, we chose a bedroom in a city apartment, to decorate in a Classic European style. The initial thought, when the look was chosen for this space, was that a European bedroom requires a lot of height to justify the grandeur of the look. Since this room is spacious, with high ceilings and good natural light, it does justice to the European style of design that our design team was keen to create. This style demands a grea t deal of attention to detail, with its ornate forms and hints of gold. The classic European style represents luxury and opulence, and will appeal to anyone looking for an everlasting sense of elegance. This style was born in Rome during the 6th century, and was popular right until the 19th century.

Discern is inspired by the aristocratic vibe and plushness of this space which has been carefully styled with gold wallpaper, majestic table lamps, and plush bedding. The semi-circular console stands against a warm grey wall, topped with a painting of horses - perceived by most as a good luck charm. The Romanoff Console, a design famous since the 17th century, is seen in this room. When used in the space, its graceful and refined charm comes through, with the piece's use of turnings, curved legs and motifs.

An antique table lamp with a white cotton shade offers a vintage air to the interiors. The lamp is crafted from premium quality wood. The shade is also made from superior cotton fabric, to ensure durability. The combination of gold and white makes this a classy piece, perfect for the space our designers were looking to create.

Rugberry's hand-carved rugs are beautiful pieces, each handcrafted by skilled craftsmen. The carving is done by hand, using scissors. The sculpted design seen on this rug is further enhanced by the colours, which add sharpness and finesse.

We liked the elegant design of this brocade wallpaper, which features gothic influences and elaborate floral, thistle and leaf motifs.

Brocade Wallpaper



The colour palette consists of Warm Grey, Sand Brown and Brown.

The warm grey wall against which the Romanoff Console stands boldly, is topped with the horse painting by Fizdi. The sand brown is highlighted with the gold in the Brocade Wallpaper. The sand brown compliments the gold beautifully, and creates an interesting visual focus in the space. The brown shades can be seen in the furniture chosen for the bedroom.
