What's your style? Transitional
Homes decorated in transitional style are for those who are in the middle. It's not quite traditional and not quite casual, but resting comfortably in between. It is the most verstatile of the furniture styles with minimal ornamentation and allows for the best of both worlds.
Explained
It is often described as "classic with a contemporary twist" It is chameleon-like in that it can easily shift between looks based on how it is accessorized. A transitional style color scheme is typically in the creme or brown family. This neutral coloring gives the transitional room a put together, serene look.
Why it works
It allows for the familiar and the fresh. It's comfortable and sophisticated. Transitional furniture has clean simple lines that adjust to their surroundings and accessories should stick with the neutral color palette, adding a pop of color occasionally for interest.
