Transitional Is the Art of Mixing

Successful transitional design is achieved by seamlessly combining a mix of modern and traditional. While there are many interpretations of this style, here’s a list that will help you achieve a well-blended transitional look.

• Stay neutral with your color choice, allowing the lines of the furniture to take center stage.
• Incorporate textural elements such as wood, glass, lacquer, rattan, fabric, steel and metal.
• Limit the use of accessories; you are adding artful details through your mix of furnishings and fabrics, and you don’t want to confuse the eye.
• Choose impactful art, but use it sparingly. In most cases, one large piece on the wall is better than an arrangement of small pieces.
