Transitional Interior Design

22_100RS_0513_hiresA happy medium between traditional and contemporary, transitional interior design is simple and sophisticated. Typically, the transitional color scheme consists of neutral tones, which create a clean look; however, transitional design is evolving to include more color. The blue room featured here demonstrates how you can kick transitional up a notch.

In rooms that lack color, choose fabrics with a lot of texture to add depth. Window treatments should be modest, such as panels with banding detail and great hardware, or shades with clean lines.

Furniture in transitional design balances curves with straight lines. You won’t find carved, ornamental pieces, but instead comfortably simple furniture. Less is more when accessorizing in the transitional design style. Choose a few key pieces without cluttering the space.

Designing your home in the transitional style creates a timeless look. For help achieving a transitional interior design style in your home, contact Marina Collela for your free in-home design consultation at 914-761-6150.
