Transitional Design
Although I create all types of design styles, I seem to have settled into the niche of transitional design. What is transitional design you ask?
Transitional design is the blending of traditional and modern element in a way that creates a cohesive, timeless design. It is built on the concept that a space should be both refined and comfortable. Here are a few elements you will see in transitional design:
-neutral color schemes
-colorful accessories
-limited accessories
-focus on comfort
-large scale patterns
-layering of textured finishes
-mixed metal tones
-symmetry
-simple lines
-traditional statement pieces
-contemporary art
Transitional design is best summed up with the description understated sophistication. It has become a popular style as it allows you to integrate heirloom pieces with more up to date finishes and less clutter.
If you are ready to give your home a fresh, transitional update give me a shout!
