Ideas on how to add Traditional style to your interior.
Though it has largely taken a backseat to more casual styles over the last several years, traditional design is undergoing a renaissance of sorts, and we find ourselves falling for the stately rooms and beautiful antiques all over again.
It's not difficult to deduce that traditional design is inspired by—you guessed it—tradition. Specifically, traditions of 18th and 19th-century European interiors, albeit in a more timeless approach. Symmetry, harmony, and understated elegance are defining traits.
Classical furniture, intricate details, and rich colours abound in traditional interiors, resulting in decidedly formal yet functional spaces. Architecture is another important component, with detailed millwork such as crown molding and wainscoting playing a significant role.
