Are you trying to choose the style of your new house or a significant makeover but are having trouble? Is it a toss-up between choosing a modern style with sleek, clean lines or a modern style with comfy furniture and classic designs? You’ll be glad to know that you can have both of them in the current transitional fashion.
The elegant luxury transitional style provides you the opportunity to choose your own traditional and modern features, creating a perfect synthesis that is cozy, timeless, and fashionable.
One of the main advantages of designing a custom transitional home is the option to select your favorite aspects from each style without compromising the appearance, value, or quality of the finished result when done properly.
What are the steps to take and how can you do this?
Here are some brief explanations of classic and modern styles to get things started.
A design and architectural style known as traditional is based on the traditional styles of old Europe. It incorporates organic components like wood, such as crown molding, wainscot, chair rail, and coffered ceilings.
The key elements of modern design include open, airy spaces, clean, sleek lines, tapering legs, and sharp angles. It emphasizes the use of synthetic materials including glass, metal, and concrete.
The transitional design is a blend that retains the color schemes and slick modern styling while inviting the soft lines and cozy furniture of the classic style without the fuss.
You can take into account the following components when developing your transitional style:
1. Select a neutral color scheme in the usual colors of white, sand, or grey, but think about adding some striking accessories to create contrast.
2. Limit the use of elaborate woodwork. Avoid elaborate crown molding or wainscot to maintain the modern effect. Ensure simplicity.
3. Light is an interesting method to change the look of your home and incorporates current lighting. A room’s lighting can have a wonderful effect, and as the selection expands, fixtures are starting to take center stage. Select a molecular light or an inspired modern chandelier for the room’s focal point.
4. Because they blend in so well with any design style, metallic accents are much sought after in today’s fashionable transitional style. Use faucets, lighting, side tables, and accessories to include gold, bronze, or copper. Check out The Art of Mixing Metals in Your Home on our blog as well.
5. Carpeting is a significant component of transitional design and is added for texture. They provide stability for the furnishings in the space, color, and a soft, luxurious feel. A classic woven or knotted carpet can give texture and pattern, and it is advised to use neutral colors to go with the theme.
6. Modern art can also be employed to make the transition from conventional to contemporary. A transitional-style home places a lot of emphasis on accents, which can change the design to be more traditional or modern. Choose your favorite modern piece of art to establish a distinctive focal point. The best strategy is to choose a minimalist style in order to avoid overdoing the appearance.
