Old Money Decor is a design that the effect is what is called “a new classicism, refreshing and updated.”

The “old money” aesthetic is inspired by the lifestyles, fashion, interior design, and etiquette of wealthy established families, particularly those with “old money” inherited over multiple generations.

The old money aesthetic contrasts with “new money” that is more flashy and opulent. Old money is portrayed as more tasteful, subtle, and focused on family history.

Embracing a pared down, more simplified lifestyle, the team looked to contemporary furnishings, solid-color silk rugs, and fabrics that were not overly ornate. Sheathing the majority of the living space is Benjamin Moore’s White Dove, which created a blank canvas for other creative elements. In the living room, for instance, the designers created a bright area for entertaining with a custom bouclé sofa, pleated leather Kelly Wearstler ottomans, and shagreen cabinets.
