Traditional Interior Design Style

The traditional interior design style originates from a variety of old-school European styles like the Tuscan Castillo, English Cottage, or the French Palais (see Blog “Old World”). The most popular styles, when it comes to traditional interior design, are the British Colonial revival, the 19th century neoclassic, the French country and the 18th century English.
​The Main design elements are:
  • Neutral Colour palette with vibrant accent colours inspired by nature. Muted green and peach tones with aubergine and tan create a floral and natural colour scheme
  • Warm wood tones and bronze accents can enhance the colour palette to create a warm and inviting interior.
  • Formal swag and panel combinations create very elaborate and dramatic window treatment in each room. 
  • Tasseled cords and fringe accents on the scalloped edges of the swag treatment add beautiful design details.
  • Silk, cashmere and cotton are the preferred materials to create the elaborate fabrics for this design style. Damask and velvet with floral patterns work perfectly with the natural colour palette and add an elegant yet warm and inviting feel to a room.
  • Intricate tile and wood floor patterns live up to the ornate fabrics used in this style. Natural materials complement the natural colour palette and floral prints.
  • Elaborate built in furniture, wood panelling and elegant moldings are essential for this intricate look.
  • Gilt frame, oil paintings and antique furniture pieces are the perfect accessories for this design style.
  • A crystal chandelier will not only illuminate your room beautifully, it will also create the perfect centerpiece for you your room.
  • Decorative ornate vases with lush silk flowers, candlesticks and crystal bowls in pairs will create a wonderful traditional home for you and your family.
