Traditional interior design is just what it sounds like—a classic, warm, comforting, familiar home decor style that is rooted in the traditions of the past without being specific to any single time period. A traditional interior design scheme is timeless and placeless, comfortable and put together but not overly fancy.

Traditional style often includes silk, linen and velvet upholstery and window coverings in damask, florals, stripes and plaids with ornately detailed dark wood, inspired by 18th and 19th century designs. Layered in color and texture, traditional style interiors bring a sense of history and glamour to a space.
