There's nothing that makes you feel at home quite like traditional style decor. It's a style not about "wow factor" or statement pieces, but about comfort and livability. With roots in 19th century Europe, this French- and English-inspired style is elegant but simple. This style leans neutral, favoring woods to metals and simple designs to overly complex.
Looking to add some traditional design elements to your space? These nine stores are ready to help you create your dream traditional home.
