This room exudes a classic sense of comfort and grace. The leather couch and oak wood end table are timeless focal points for a living room. Soft, warm wall colours are a wonderful way to showcase them.
Evocative of the 18th and 19th centuries, traditional interiors combine classicism with comfort. Think high-ceilings, stained-glass transoms, Queen Anne chairs, four-poster beds, and detailed moulding, woodwork, and painted trim.
This style favors floral paint colours in mid-to-light tones. Balance your walls with darker paint colours on the floors and furniture. Gold and red accents and Asian influences can really pull a traditional 19th century look together.
Light your traditional interiors with tungsten and use a combination of classic overhead fixtures, sconces, and soft, white-shaded floor lamps. Paint the wainscoting glossy white. Ground rooms with dark, ornate rugs.
The traditional style clearly demonstrates that paint colour can be inspired by history. Over the years, various paint colour combinations have captured the country's imagination. Tap into these traditional paint colour combinations that have been found in homes for generations.
