What is Traditional Style?

A point form research I made of what the traditional style is. Beautiful and classic, the traditional style is a combination of Rococo, Baroque, Neoclassic, Empire and Regency styles.

• Traditional style is very calming, comforting and classic.


• The furniture is classic and some people may feel that it is outdated. All pieces 

matches and are consistent.

• There is nothing out of place. Everything is in the same style, and usually furniture is 

placed in pairs.

• Modern and eclectic pieces have no room in a traditional space. 

• Patterns in a traditional interior are florals, plain, colours, muted plates, stripes, 

geometric, tone-on-tone and small patterns.

• The furniture will often have a mix of straight and curved lines. It also may contain 

some carving details.

• The trim in a traditional home will most likely to be painted glossy white.  Crown 

molding is very common and adds to the formal look.

• Accessories include urns, pairs of lamps, plants, mirrors, framed prints, china vases, 

books all arranged in balanced symmetry.

• Window coverings are narrow shutters, traverse draperies and under treatments of 

pinch pleated sheers.

• Colours are peach, green, balanced tones.  It can be enhanced with bronze accents

 and warm wood tones.
