If some love just about anything that has to do with modernism in terms of design and decoration, it can be the total opposite for others! If you’re one of those who prefer traditional home decor, here are a few examples to inspire your next renovation project.
10 Traditional & Classic Decors
1) A cozy spot next to the fire

This decor, which features a lot of white and beige triggers a desire for leisure, to relax next to the open fire with a good book. By avoiding bright colours, the room maintains its simplicity.
The furniture adds a lot of character to the room, especially the dark wood coffee table. The latter is a great piece that perfectly offsets the white walls, as well as the decorative objects in its vicinity. Let’s also mention the really pretty trimmings and the mantel above the fireplace that’s just as detailed as it is refined.
2) A genuine, khaki-green look

A green with that intensity perfectly suits traditional kitchens. It immediately enhances the black countertops, and the green cabinets simply need to be embellished with golden knobs to give this prestigious and elegant decor life. The decor is rather refined and mostly relies on simplicity, which is a sure winner!

3) A calming bedroom

After a long day of work, being able to relax in a calm and serene bedroom is the best feeling. Contrary to a lot of traditional decors, this one limits the presence of trimmings and detailed patterns.
With this example, one can clearly see that straight lines (except the bedframe) are favoured, which tends to emphasize a certain zen layout. The whole decor doesn’t visually drown the onlooker, which makes it all the more fitted to unwind!
4) An traditional and elegant decor

Where some decors steer clear of extravagance, others are more daring! This one is a striking example, in every sense of the word. From the light fixture found above the bed, just as much as the dark blue sofa, nothing in this room lacks originality or elegance! As a matter of fact, the bed is absolutely prestigious and amazing due to its unique design.
5) An enchanting decor for a reimagined traditional look

If this decor is a stickler for tradition, it’s still quite surprising! The assortment of patterns, the golden sheen (as much from the curtain as from the decorative elements) and the mix of colours catch your eye in every which way.
From the get-go, one notices the room’s elegance, which is really undeniable. As well, the contrast created between the white bed linens and the dark blue that adorns the walls is much appreciated.
6) Rustic meets traditional kitchen

This kitchen’s layout notes a decor that’s halfway between rustic and traditional. The omnipresence of wood is the room’s predominant feature, which adds a lot of warmth and conviviality to the overall space.
The dark blue cabinet doors perfectly complement the wood flooring, whereas the light pink adds a hint of elegance and romanticism to the room. Let’s wrap this up by pinpointing the simplicity of the wall tiles, which allow other decorative elements to be highlighted.
7) The white kitchen, a timeless classic

White is an obvious choice when it comes to traditional home decor. It adds a lot of light to the room in question, and in return, allows a generous influx of natural light. As shown here, the whole is immaculately white, which creates an absolutely sublime design. As such, we can easily spot the striking contrast between the white and the very dark stained wood.
8) A distinguished bathroom

Now here’s an absolute stunner of a bathroom! The first element that catches the eye is obviously the vanity, which has an especially refined look. This choice alone adds immense beauty to the decor. The selection of small, hexagonal black-and-white flooring tiles bears witness to the desire to create a traditional design.
This is also seen in the choice of entirely white rectangular wall tiles. Lastly, the faucet’s design perfectly suits the vanity, thus creating a decor in which all the elements blend in perfectly with one another.
9) Another white bathroom!

Words just won’t suffice when it comes to this amazing bathroom! The pattern featured on the floor tiles is really stunning and is a pleasant change from what is normally seen. The vanity is also quite unique. Once again, the natural light seeping in plays off really well with the white tiling.
Albeit the room is rather small, it’s still so charming! Note that the lack of partitions, floor-wise, is a real asset considering this modest space!
10) Simple and traditional living room

This living room makes you want to go sit down with a glass of wine and partake in good conversation. The pretty cream-white couches match the colour of the walls, which reflects a tendency aimed at creating simple decor. Combining dark flooring with beige results in harmonious and traditional decor!

Suffice it to say, converting an attic into a living space tends to be a split verdict type of endeavour. Some are indeed charmed by the sloping walls, small space, and dormers for windows, while others are wary of feeling claustrophobic or worry that the space will be too dark.
