Transitional vs Traditional Home Furniture

Posted on September 25th, 2017 by Hannah.

Last time we shared the history of modern furniture design and how you can decorate your home in a modern style. If sleek and bold colors aren’t for you, we’re going to the other end of the interior design spectrum. Today, we’re sharing the differences between traditional and transitional home furniture and décor style. For those who like to embrace the traditional side of home furnishings, this blog is for you. If you’re a person who is torn between contemporary and traditional design, this blog is for you too!

Traditional home furniture

Traditional Home Furniture and Décor Style

This is the style for your classic American home. The tone is comfortable and familiar; furniture is properly placed, mannerly and predictable. Typically, furniture pieces are chosen to match and coordinate. Picture formal arrangements, soft edges and skirted pieces. Patterns are usually plaids, stripes, floral; colors are neutral and soft – nothing too bold and nothing eccentric. Home furniture you’d define traditional is usually the complete opposite of contemporary home furniture. The key to decorating in a traditional style is not to go overboard with tufted furniture.

 

Transitional Home Furniture and Décor Style

If you’re someone who likes both contemporary and traditional style, good news: there’s a design style for that. It’s called transitional and combines elements from both styles. Transitional style is about “the art of mixing” and finding the right balance between elegant and timeless design. Take soft, classic lines of traditional home furniture, but allow more modern colors. Incorporate different textural elements such as glass, rattan, or metal with your traditional wood textures. When it comes to accessorizing your living room, transitional style allows for more flexibility, but nothing overly dramatic.
