Traditional Furniture

Adorned with classic details and a variety of textures and curved lines, traditional style pieces will often have elaborate carvings with ornate details and fabrics. Traditional design combines harmony and order, while considerably predictable. Consistency is key in this design style—think matching traditional dining sets or living room furniture.

Traditional Color Palette

Traditional decor follows a neutral color scheme, paired with sparing uses of bold colors. Beige, browns, whites and greys are very common in this decorating style. Dark and rich jewel tones can be added to compliment the overarching neutral palette. Typically, one colour will dominate the room, such as beige, which will be complimented with a dark or bright color, such as royal blue or yellow, to add some colorful flair.
