At Ivy Interiors, we take pride in offering not only a variety of quality home furniture options, but also expert interior design services to go with them. Our interior designers have years of experience in a variety of home types, helping you make your space more comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and welcoming to guests.
We’ll gladly assist you with any style you’re looking for throughout your home or in a given room, whether you prefer a classic style or modern. We also help many homeowners achieve what’s known as a “transitional” design style, which refers to blending certain classical themes with modern décor to bring a look that’s both timeless and sleek at the same time. In this two-part blog series, we’ll dig into some of the basic themes associated with the transitional home design style, including certain specific kinds of furniture or fixtures you might consider plus some broader trends.
As we noted above, the transitional style is one that allows homeowners to get the best of both worlds. You can mix classic furniture options with modern themes and fixtures in an organized, curated way. There are several common features that tend to make up the transitional style, including:
The goal of a color scheme for a transitional home design is to unify the design areas, and this often means using neutral colors. Beige, black, taupe and even white are popular colors for some of your foundational pieces, such as sofas, rugs or major walls.
Many others are able to incorporate certain other hues like blue or green for a calm atmosphere. The primary goal here is to choose three to five main colors, then use only hues of those colors throughout the space in coordination with one another.
Finally, you’ll be balancing different upholstery and print types to bring your profile together. We often recommend traditional textiles such as leather or velvet, but modern linen or vinyl blends for furniture. Repeat uses of certain materials in an organized way throughout the space, such as hanging a metallic lamp above a table with metallic chairs to keep the theme going.
