The traditional style is one of the most popular choices in interior design, but why is it so popular and what really is traditional style? Everybody has different traditions so the word "traditional" can have a different meaning for each of us.
Unlike what many people think, the traditional style is a design direction inspired by 18th century European decor. The style itself is a timeless example of comfort and elegance and is perfect for anyone who loves deep wood tones, thorough architectural details and elegant furniture design. This style is often referred to as the classic home style because it has that "homey" feeling that the modern styles lack.
But don't let that fool you because the traditional style also emphasizes simplicity and comfort. There is no space for clutter or excessive furnishings.
So how will you know if this style is for you?
If you feel comfortable with dark wood finishes, refined colors as well as rich tones, then you are probably in the right place. Do you like plain walls? Because the traditional decor mainly relies on neutral paint color on the walls so that the colorful furniture and accents can be in the foreground.
We are going to show you how the traditional decor looks like in the dining room. You will immediately notice that, symmetry is paramount in the traditional interior design. Pretty much anything comes in pairs. If there are 3 chairs on the left side of the table, there have to be 3 chairs on the right side. You get the idea. This symmetry creates a balanced space around a focal point and in the case of the traditional dining room , it is the dining table. Enjoy!
