How We Define "Traditional" Design - And Why It's Trending
Briefly

Traditional interior design transcends the perception of being outdated and embodies a timeless elegance. Its essence is found in the use of historical elements, such as antiques and heirlooms, alongside cozy and sophisticated upholstery and patterns. These designs often create a sense of nostalgia and balance, characterized by symmetry and classic architectural details. With no clear historical boundaries, traditional design harkens back to styles prior to modernism, focusing on materials that have withstood the test of time.
"Traditional design is all about timeless appeal, so I focus on materials that have endured across generations, like marble and richly grained woods," says Cathleen Gruver, lead interior designer at Gruver Cooley.
