Traditional
Traditional is one of the most popular styles in interior design. Old world traditional spaces typically used neutral colors like beige or tan as a base, adding peach tones and warm woods to create a sense of comfort. We saw this style a lot in the 90’s, but in recent years, traditional spaces have taken on a brighter, more modern color palette.
