Transitional
01
Best for
Transitional design is useful when a home has traditional architecture but the owner wants lighter, less formal rooms.
02
Designer move
Mix a tailored sofa, substantial rug, classic wood piece, modern art, and restrained metalwork so neither side dominates.
03
Trend note
Transitional design is useful when a home has traditional architecture but the owner wants lighter, less formal rooms. Keep the symmetry and quality materials, then simplify profiles, patterns, and ornament.
04
Avoid
Avoid generic greige furniture sets. Transitional rooms still need contrast, character, and at least one memorable piece.
