Classic traditional decorating style is characterized by classic furniture pieces, symmetrical arrangements, and rich color schemes. It 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. Traditional interiors bring a sense of history and glamour to a space, and are timeless and placeless, comfortable and put together but not overly fancy. ^{bhg.com 1 2 4 3}
