Our traditional Interior Design Guide

Over time, interior decor trends evolve, even traditional styles. The Julie Muscato Home & Gifts design team knows that this decor is all about elegance, balance, and ageless beauty. It makes homes feel elegant, with rich textures, refined color palettes, and symmetry. The elements described below can help you achieve this aesthetic.

Custom Window Treatments for Traditional Design

Traditional window treatments set the tone for an entire room. Draperies and valances in rich fabrics like silk and velvet add luxury and drama and can be layered with Hunter Douglas window treatments. Fabrics with classic patterns like stripes, damask, or floral prints add to the traditional atmosphere, while neutral tones or rich jewel colors add depth.

Interior Decor for Traditional Design

To achieve a traditional decor, focus on furniture, wallpaper, and bedding:

Custom Furniture

Furniture plays a central role in creating a traditionally decorated home. Seek the following:

• Substantial, high-quality wood pieces with details like carved legs, rolled arms, or button-tufted upholstery.
• Wingback chairs.
• Roll-arm sofas.
• Solid wood dining tables with fine detailing.
• Rich fabrics like velvet, leather, or linen for your upholstery.
• Classic wood finishes, like cherry, mahogany, or walnut.

Traditional Interior Design Wallpaper

You can probably guess which wallpaper patterns are the most traditional. We recommend bold floral patterns, toile, damask, deep, rich colors, and stripes. You can also opt for soft, muted wallpaper colors that complement your furniture and accessories. Wainscoting or a chair rail lets you mix wallpaper on the top with painted walls below for visual interest.

Traditional Interior Design Bedding

Bedrooms in traditional homes speak of comfort and luxury. Custom bedding can offer rich fabrics, sophisticated patterns, and attention to detail. Start with crisp, high-quality sheets, add a thick comforter or duvet, and finish with decorative pillows and a coordinating bed skirt. Classic patterns include florals, paisleys, or jacquard; the palettes feature colors like navy, burgundy, or cream.

Additional Traditional Interior Decor Elements

These final home decor touches can bring your traditional design together:

• Ornate Mirrors: A classic mirror with a gold or silver frame can reflect light and create the illusion of a larger space while adding elegance. These focal points enhance traditionally styled rooms.
• Antique-Inspired Lighting: Chandeliers, sconces, and table lamps with fine designs follow through on a traditional theme.
• Rugs: Persian or Oriental rugs with gorgeous patterns and deep colors will ground the space and add warmth.
• Artwork: To complete the timeless feel of your room, we suggest traditional landscapes, portraits, or classical artwork in gilded frames.
