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.
