Transitional styling is a combination of Traditional sophistication and Contemporary simplicity. It combines luxury with minimalism to create a home that radiates tranquility. Think streamlined spaces with comfort and warmth. These spaces aren’t too formal or overly frilly, yet they aren’t completely comprised of clean profiles or straight edges. For example, a transitional kitchen might combine a paneled cabinet with more simplistic hardware. You might find shiny stainless-steel appliances resting on a darker-stained hardwood floor. Transitional style is all about finding that balance between something classic and something a little more humble – it’s the best of both worlds. Colors are inviting and neutral and patterns are discreet in order to create a true place of peacefulness. Instead of using eye-catching colors, textures are relied upon to create visual interest. Transitional style uses a mixture of matte and polished finishes as well as leather furniture, wooden frames and other tactile materials and features. Clean lines mixed with a pinch of luxury and ornate styling create a soothing and serene transitional home.
