Welcome! 

FOLLOW & REACH OUT

Traditional style originated in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries as a reaction against the more elaborate and ornate styles of the Baroque and Rococo periods. The design influences came from the Neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the simplicity and elegance of ancient Greek and Roman design. The style evolved to add English and French designs of Georgian, Federal, and Victorian styles which reflected a layer of opulence. 

Here's how to express your style...

A Traditional home is characterized by its elegance, symmetry, and appreciation for craftsmanship & history. Classical columns, decorative pilasters, crown & wall molding, paneled wood doors, built-in cabinets, grand entries with staircases, decorative railings, arched doorways, and conventional floor plans with individual spaces to create comfort and a classical elegance throughout. 

Interior Finishes

Traditional interior finishes create inviting and timeless spaces that reflect a deep appreciation for history. Warm white painted moldings, floral and damask wallcovering or draperies, dark-stained hardwood flooring, Persian area rugs, brick fireplace surrounds, wood paneling with built-in cabinetry, & antique brass hardware amplify the warmth, elegance, and craftsmanship of Traditional design.

Now to furnish & decorate your space...

Traditional furniture is designed for longevity with an emphasis on high-quality materials, carved details, and refined upholstery. Solid mahogany, cherry, and oak hand-carved frames, wing back lounge chairs, roll armed and turned leg sofas, & intricate brass side tables with marble or glass top provide timeless elegant pieces.

Lighting is both functional and decorative with fixtures often serving as focal points in a room. Crystal chandeliers are iconic in Traditional home, along with candle-style bulbs to bring a historic luxury feel. Porcelain pottery lamps and Tiffany stained glass lamps bring texture and color. All fixtures have an element of brass or bronze detailing.

Traditional decoration is ornate with a sense of formality, while still maintaining a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. From oil paintings of landscapes or still life, gilded bronze mirrors, fine china with blue and white patterning, glass candle hurricanes, to antique brass book ends, each piece brings a sense of history and heritage.
