Here are a few guiding principles to master transitional style.

Mix It Up

Both antique and contemporary furniture can coexist side-by-side to create a timeless feel.

Light Colors

Variations of whites, grays and soft earth tones are versatile and avoid being pegged to a specific look.

Look to the Lines

A careful combination of soft traditional style curves and sleek modern lines is one of the most important characteristics.

Keep an Open Mind

The rules aren’t always steadfast, so take the time to tailor the look to your personal tastes.
