Traditional style interiors are an ageless favorite, offering comforting elegance and gracious living that easily adapts to changing lifestyles. Based upon styling first popularized in the 18th and 19th centuries, Traditional decoration relies upon the commanding presence of finely crafted woodworking. Queen Anne colors combined with Chippendale and Thomas Sheraton furniture designs are thought to be the universal benchmark of craftsmanship and lines of design. Fabrics in a traditional room are generally neither too shiny, nor too textured, with solid, tone-on-tone, and muted patterns. Color in a traditional room is often in a mid-range of tones, though very dark colors are often used for window coverings. The overall ambiance of traditional decor evokes comfortably homey, understated ambiance.
