How to Determine Your Decorating Style- Part 2

Yesterday we looked at a contemporary room and saw some ways to incorporate the design into out spaces. Today, we are going to look at a traditional room and what that means in 2010.

Traditional doesn't necessarily mean your grandmothers home. Traditional,  typically,  has the characteristics of being a warm and inviting space.

Personally, I have a very hard time with traditional spaces. Not with window treatments because it usually features a very classic style. I find it very difficult to accessorize a traditional space. More times than not, I find,  it is overdone. Too many patterns and too many colors. Below is a great example of traditional design decorated to perfection.

This room has 3 definite colors. Red, green, and blue. Remember, designers always work with odd numbers. It is accented with a polished gold. Like the jewelry of the room.

Whatever your style is, always remember that design is an expression of one's self. It's always to incorporate your voice into your space!

Until next time.........
