Traditional

A timeless style taking cues from the 18th and 19th centuries, traditional style incorporates classic art, antiques, and pieces with history. Though you'll most often see traditional design influenced by European decor, it can incorporate elements anywhere from England to the far east. With so many options, it definitely doesn't have to be boring!
