Bring the Traditional Style Home
The lines in a traditional style dining room are soft in keeping with its sense of comfort. This style is just as much about the furnishing as it is the mood that it creates. The challenge is to avoid making a room feel dated or too cluttered. Some knick-knacks are fine but stay away from going overboard. Follow a similar plan for choosing artwork.
Color Schemes
There’s a good reason why the traditional style is the second most popular for dining rooms. It says home in big, bold letters. Neutral color schemes will help a room stay fresh without appearing stodgy or old-fashioned. Conservative choices are best with this decor. Think white, brown, and beige as the main hues. Classic palettes like white and blue work equally well.
Furnishings
Wooden dining room tables and chairs are right at home with this decor. Warm-colored shades like cherry or cedar will add to the inviting feel of a room. You can carry on this theme with hardwood floors in similar finishes. But an area rug underneath the table is perfectly fine, especially if it’s extra soft on the feet. You can even go with something more daring like an Oriental rug.
Lighting and Accessories
Lighting like the furnishings should exude warmth to complement the mood. Look for pieces with metals like bronze or copper to follow this lead. Wall sconces are a welcome touch too. You can opt for more decorative pieces like chandeliers as long as they don’t interfere with the symmetry of the room. You find plenty of inspiration for our traditional dining room design ideas.
