Blending the Timeless and Timely Look: Ways to Ace the New Traditional

Author: Alberta Smith

While traditional decor style is something that includes a plenty of ancient artwork and antique vibes which can be quite astounding to look at, sometimes it gets rather heavy headed and dated when overly decorated. On the other hand, the people nowadays are shifting towards a more modern style that involves a clean and calm vibe, but for some people it turns out to be too colorless, boring and uncomfortable.

We at Casagear have formulated a medium between these two extremities for a perfectly balanced look for your home: the new traditional! This blend of the old and the new incorporates the best of elements of each decor style, creating a look that gives a mid-century modern appeal.

Here are some of the ways which would help make the new traditional look done right using traditional home accents which are a must-have for an "on trend and timeless living":

  • Swap Your Style from Fussy to Classy!

One of the best ways to ace the classic and elegant traditional decor with a touch of modernity is to choose traditional home accents that incorporate old world elements while skipping the heavily ornamental details of the past.

For instance, you can go for a luxuriously upholstered and classically shaped piece with simple visual appeal rather than highly elaborate furniture pieces.

  • Mixing Up the Old and New!

A living space adorned with all traditionally oriented decor pieces tends to look somewhat dated and overdone, but an easier and fresher take on avoiding this is to shake things up a bit by adding a few elements of contemporary style to the mix.

Today’s new traditional is more about decor accents that are minimally ornate, somewhat dark and a bit heavy than the trimmed contemporary designs.

  • Break Up with Matching: Go for a Trendy Blend!

While it might be easier and less confusing to go for a matching set of traditional furniture pieces and decor pieces for a coordinated look, there’s always a possibility that the rooms may look mundane and devoid of personality.

In the new traditional style, appropriate mixing and matching of furniture gives the room a lively, interesting and personalized vibe that is much better than a room with a predictable design choice. So, go ahead with experimenting new and unique pieces but remember to choose pieces that complement your decor, and you’ll be good to go!

  • Go Wild with The Walls!

When we talk about artwork, the best way is to go with what you love. While formal and clean decor accents is always a highly preferred choice amongst the home decorators, it’s no longer your only option if you introduce traditional furniture. Instead, why not have some fun with whatever strikes your fancy? The result is fresh, bold and bright yet elegantly classic.

Casagear Home has curated an exclusive collection of handpicked home accents and furniture pieces that will surely provide a welcome contrast to your traditional decor adding a delightfully eclectic and relaxed vibe that everyone is sure to love.
