Sleek and sophisticated, Modern Classic style marries time-tested and current design trends for a look that’s chic and impactful. Streamlined furniture pieces are coupled with a neutral color palette and impactful accents so that each room feels inviting and cozy with just the right amount of zhuzh. Draw inspiration from our Amherst model at Oldenburg and discover the must-have furniture and accessories needed to recreate this high-contrast look in your own home.
Kitchen
A dark wood stain establishes the island as the focal point of the kitchen and lends gravitas to the space. Shaker-style cabinets add dimension, while mosaic backsplash tile laid in a herringbone pattern boosts the kitchen’s visual appeal.

Living Room
A neutral palette of grey, white, black, dark chocolate and grey-blues define Modern Classic style, and the Amherst’s living room brings it together beautifully. Deep blue built-in bookshelves pop against warm white walls, while patterned textiles and abstract artwork punctuate the space and keep the room’s color-blocked furniture from feeling staid.
