Traditional furniture is calm and presented more orderly, avoiding bold or loud prints.
Color schemes are usually dark or lighter neutrals, and any prints like florals or plaid are muted.
The design and flow of traditional spaces tend to have straight lines and upholstered furniture, while pillows and other small furnishings have gentle edges. Essentially, the furnishings flow together without stark edges or abrupt changes.
Some traditional pieces may favor more Gothic or Victorian styles, with dark finishes, tapered legs, and stark lines. Homeowners looking for a dark, classic look may favor traditional styles over more contemporary looks.
