Traditional interior is a style taking cues from the 18th and 19th centuries, incorporating classic art, antiques, and pieces with history. It offers classic details, sumptuous furnishings, and an abundance of accessories. It is rooted in European sensibilities, and it can actually incorporate elements from England, France, or even the far east. Traditional homes often feature dark, finished wood, rich colour palettes, and a variety of textures and curved lines. Furnishings have elaborate and ornate details and fabrics, like velvet, silk and brocade, which may include a variety of patterns and textures. There’s depth, layering and dimensionality within most traditional designs. Consistency is key, as traditional design seeks to create a calm, orderly space, so furnishings will match, symmetry is huge, and everything seems to just go together.
