Even if you don't have a professional designer you can have a traditional design in your sitting room with a few simple changes, like wallpapering and coordinating your knick knacks and book racks to add a little bit of tradition. A top notch renovation will include alterations to lights, flooring, wall coverings and accessories and your chair set and daybed or sofa. What's on your floor can compliment the decor, but if new floors aren't in the budget for your sitting room then you can cover your existing floors by using small rugs with a traditional look. If you are lucky enough to be able to afford new floors, check out hardwood floors or plush wall to wall carpet. It's not necessary to use coordinating chair set, daybed or sofa, and writing desk but the sitting room should have lots of mahogany and upholstered pieces. To really enhance the traditional style, try furniture that have an inlaid pattern. Accurate lighting is key in any room and the sitting room is no exception. To match your traditional theme, you need to think about the style of fixtures along with the type. Most sitting rooms can utilize wall sconces as well as table lamps. Given that you are decorating with a traditional look, you may want to try installing a brass hanging light or chandelier with brass or glass table lamps but Remember to stay away from anything that is too modern or artsy. Decorative accessories are essential to pulling your traditional design theme together. You can dramatically change the look of your room by simply changing the accessories! Concentrate on selecting knick knacks, book racks and flower vases, in patterns and colors complimentary to your traditional design. You'll be amazed at how simple and economical it is, and what a huge difference these changes make! Be certain to include a variety of porcelain and bronzes as well as antiques and you ought to even try some new pieces with a traditional look to really spruce up your sitting room. Incorporating additional touches like sterling or crystal vases with flowers can help setup your room with a professional decorative look. How you dress your windows are important to your traditional theme. There are several treatments that you can match up to this style, especially if you match other fabrics or colors in the room, but you probably want to avoid modernistic window coverings. For a great design in your sitting room try working with silk drapes or decorative valance and drape set. A vital change to keep in mind when decorating your sitting room with a traditional look is your wall color. For this design theme the colors are important - you should consider working with creams and whites and blues and pale yellows either as wallpaper or paint. Try using a wallpaper in traditional patterns on the walls, or try paint with a stencil border. You don't need to go all out and if you don't want color on the walls, merely cover the walls in a neutral palette and add the color in your accents. One aspect that we often forget about when decorating your room is the wall space. Even the ugliest walls can be smashing by incorporating great wall art and decorative accessories. Try adding antique oil paintings in gilded frames or even antique platters or plates hung in decorative hangers to your sitting room walls to really show off the style of your traditional design theme. Attaining a nice traditional look in your sitting room can be as easy as just buying new decorative accessories or as involved as replacing everything. Either way, working on the details and making sure you match your furniture and accessories will help you pull off a great new traditional style that will have a professional look! |
