TRADITIONAL DESIGN 101

Traditional, also known as classic is full of detail and is the most popular style throughout the years as it is a safe choice for most people of any age or any taste. Traditional design is inspired by the 18th and 19th century. It is timeless and classic; there is always a rich, warm, and inviting feel to these spaces, some would even say comforting.

Symmetry and soft colour play a key role in this design style. Rich textiles and dark woods get infused and injected ever so elegantly. Everything is all in the details. Commonly used accessories are:

Candle holders
Vases
Chandeliers
Ornate china
Silver
Gold
Crown moulding
Wood paneling
Columns
Fire places
Paintings
Window treatments
Floral designs
Damask
Plaid
Silks
Velvets
Rich dark woods

Each room is always centred around a focal point.

Traditional design is one you can never go wrong with. Transitional design was later created by combining traditional and contemporary design which can also create a timeless look. You can have the best of both worlds; it’s a happy design medium.
