Embracing Traditional Home Décor

Traditional home décor draws influence from classic European design; showcasing rich colours, luxurious fabrics and ornate details. It exudes sophistication and comfort, making it a timeless and elegant style choice. We’ve put together some tips below on how to infuse traditional décor into every room of your home: 

The Living Room: 

• Start by choosing furniture that combines comfort and sophistication such as a camelback sofa or a wingback armchair with graceful curves and intricate details. 
  
  
• For the upholstery, select plush fabrics such as velvet or damask in muted natural tones or deep jewel shades. 
  
  
• Elevate the look with floral, toile or paisley patterned throw pillows, rugs and drapes. 
  
  
• Add character with an antique-inspired mahogany coffee table or vintage-inspired sideboard. 
  
  
• Finally, for lighting, opt for a show-stopping crystal chandelier and enhance ambience with table lamps. 

The Bedroom:

• For the room’s centrepiece, select a canopy bed with elegant drapes or a sleigh bed with carved detailing. 
  
  
• Opt for luxurious bedding with high thread count sheets, a plush quilt, and decorative pillows in coordinating patterns and textures. 
  
  
• Choose traditional-style bedside tables with intricate woodwork and decorative hardware.
  
  
• Enhance elegance with the addition of a tufted bench at the foot of the bed or an upholstered window-side armchair. 
  
  
• Use decorative mirrors, framed artwork and floral arrangements to finish off. 

The Kitchen & Dining Room: 

• Opt for cabinets with raised panel doors and crown moulding for a classic look. 
  
  
• Choose marble or granite worktops to add style and sophistication.
  
  
• Select a farmhouse sink with a bridge mixer tap for a touch of traditional charm. 
  
  
• Incorporate warmth into the room with a rich wood finish kitchen island or dining table with carved legs. 
  
  
• Showcase heirloom tableware and crockery in glass-front cabinets or open shelving to add vintage-style detailing.

The Bathroom: 

• Select a clawfoot bathtub or pedestal sink to ensure traditional sophistication.
  
  
• Add subway tiles, wall panelling, or plush wallpaper for a classic backdrop.
  
  
• Choose fixtures like a widespread sink faucet in a polished chrome or oil-rubbed bronze finish, or a porcelain lever handle for a traditional look. 
  
  
• Enhance the room’s ambience with soft lighting from wall sconces or a vintage-look chandelier. 
  
  
• Finally, add a luxurious finish with plush towels, a decorative vanity tray or soap dish, and some traditionally scented candles. 

Incorporating these traditional design elements and décor into every room will ensure a cohesive style throughout your home that exudes timeless elegance and refined sophistication.
