Your results: Traditional
A timeless style taking cues from the 18th and 19th centuries, incorporating classic art, antiques, and pieces with history.
“Incorporate some traditional patterns into pillows—stripes and florals being a nice mix. Or work an antique style chest into a living room,” Gates says. “The push-pull you get from mixing modern and traditional goods can be really enticing in a space.” The blend of modern and traditional is what keeps the design style from feeling too fussy.

Since order and consistency are essential, character comes in through details. Accessories are grand, like candle holders, vases, and chandeliers, and china, silver, and gold are commonly used. You’ll find architectural details like crown molding, columns, and wood-paneling used through traditional design, which add a bit of opulence to a room without looking too ostentatious. Rooms are often centered around a focal point, like a fireplace or oil paintings.
Color Palette:
“Palettes can be bold and saturated or pale and soft, but tend to be welcoming and not jarring or too graphic,” Gates says.
