Traditional Style
![Page 4: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Traditional decorating is calm, orderly, and predictable. There is nothing wild or chaotic in a traditional room.
Furnishings are classic and might feel outdated. Nothing is a surprise. Pieces match and are consistent.

Furniture and accessories are place in pairs and centered in the room. There is nothing out of
place or of a different style. Everything has the look that it goes together.

Traditional rooms are not ostentations but rather somewhat casual. Furniture pieces are often reproductions. Modern, eclectic pieces
have no room in a traditional space.

Here are some of the elements of a traditional room.
![Page 8: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Upholstered furniture in a traditional room exhibits classic lines and understated details. It is
functional, unfussy, and restful looking. Edges are soft, smooth, and blend into the whole.
![Page 9: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In general, a traditional room will use a mix of vertical lines with more restful horizontal lines. Gentle curves are seen in furniture, pillows, and
accessories.

Fabrics in a traditional room are generally neither too shiny nor too textured. Florals, plain
colors, muted plaids, understated stripes, geometrics, tone-on-tone and small all-over
patterns are common.

The overall ambiance of traditional decor is homey, understated, and non-jarring.

ContemporarySimple, subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines help to define contemporary style decorating. Interiors showcase space rather than things. By focusing on color, space, and shape, contemporary interiors are sleek and fresh.

Neutrals, black, and white are the main colors in
contemporary style interiors. The palette is often punched up and
accented with bright and bold color. Black is often
used to ground and define a contemporary style room.
Color

Line and SpaceThe most obvious and distinctive element of a contemporary style interior design is line. It's
found in architectural details, use of bold color blocks, high ceilings, bare windows, and
geometric shapes in wall art and sculpture. Each piece stands out as individual and unique.
![Page 15: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Contemporary Design Furniture-Smooth, clean, geometric shapes are
essential for contemporary style furniture pieces.

Furniture pieces should be simple and uncluttered, without curves or decoration.
Sofas, chairs, and ottomans often have exposed legs. Beds and chairs usually have no skirt, trim, fringe, or tassels.

Pillows add a shot of color and texture in clean geometric shapes.

Less is more! In a contemporary style interior, go basic, bare, bold, and structural!

Cottage Style
![Page 21: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Technically speaking, Cottage Style isn’t
really a style. After all, a cottage is meant to
be lived in, to be enjoyed, and is usually the recipient of all the cast-offs from the real
home.
But Cottage furnishings and accessories have grown in popularity in
recent years. In Cottage Style anything (and everything) goes.
![Page 22: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The furniture in a Cottage Style home
is often recycled, purchased from a
flea market, or collected from family
rejects.
Cottage Furniture
Nothing really needs to match -- and it shouldn’t -- yet the overall effect is charming and comfortable.

In Cottage decor, pieces are often adapted from one use to another. For example, a
bench might serve as a coffee table, an old kitchen
cupboard can hide towels in a bathroom, or a kitchen table
might become a desk.
Reuse Vintage Items
![Page 24: Good Afternoon! 2/19/14 Today we are: Learning about decorating styles Tips on how to figure out your style If time: finish color schemes as needed](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/551a069255034619378b4ae1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
While there can be many colors and patterns in a cottage style setting, it’s good to have a unifying theme. English Cottage
suggests pinks and greens in floral prints.
Rustic style, with twig wood furniture, works
well with forest colors—greens, rust, and golden
tones.
Color and Pattern

Any odd thing can serve as an accessory in a Cottage Style home, so be on the lookout
wherever you go. Charming plates, old hats, musical instruments and interesting frames
become the center of attention in a comfortable cottage room. Antique shops, tag sales, grandma’s attic, and flea markets are all
places to find Cottage Style accessories.

Eclectic This is a style that most people use. It is a
combination of many styles. Just choose your favorite pieces to combine into a style all your
own.

The palette can vary, but it's best to stick
with a few neutrals to help tie all the
elements together. In the red and gold room pictured, creams and browns are used to
ground the palette so the great design isn't lost among the many
hues.

Lines, finishes and materials of the pieces in a room are tied together
with paint or fabric.
