What is Traditional Decor?

Posted On October 26, 2011

We use the term frequently, but really what deifnes traditional style? Comfortable and classic, traditional décor stems from 18th century European design. Furnishings consist of warm wood finishes with curved edges and architectural details. Typically, matching tables are placed with a plush rolled arm sofa and curved armchair centered around a focal point such as a fireplace or artwork. Lamps and accessories are usually grouped in pairs to create both order and symmetry. Are you a fan of this timeless style? We'd love to hear your opinion.
