Traditional Design That Is All Your Own


Do you love traditional design, but also love the idea of updating? It can be done. Using fresh paint colors and lively new fabrics you can use infuse your traditional home with an updated style that is all your own.
 These beautiful traditional pieces with curvaceous lines have been given new life with fabrics in a fresh colorway.
Updating can be as simple as removing an area rug to expose a clean, sleek floor. You can lighten up and brighten up by editing what you have.

 Traditional pieces with an industrial chic coffee table work seamlessly with this soft color palette.
 An unexpected color combination of red, pink and turquoise takes this traditional setting and makes it vibrant and new.                                photos above from House to Home

Contemporary and modern art work brings a personal and uplifting aesthetic to traditional design.

What is your current color crush? Is it orange? Turquoise? Pink? Fuchsia? Spring green? Citrus yellow? Whatever it is, you can make it part of your traditional style. A style that is perfect for you.
