People usually fall into one of two camps when it comes to labeling their interior design style. Some find the idea of ascribing to a decor category too prescriptive and prefer to march to the beat of their own drum, while others like the guidance that comes with identifying as someone who likes “farmhouse modern” or “grandmillenial” decor. Me? I’m somewhere in the middle. While I think it can be a bit restrictive to look to just one design style as your North Star, I also think it’s an easy way to help contextualize all the options for homeowners who may feel a bit unsure of their personal preferences.
Luckily, there’s a style that falls right into this not-strict-but-not-directionless sweet spot: transitional design. First emerging on the scene in the 1950s as a pendulum-like response to the stark modern era, transitional design has since become an increasingly-popular catch-all term for designers and homeowners that prefer a look that mixes some traditional design elements (think: elegant moldings, classic proportions, and sophisticated furniture silhouettes) with aspects of modern and contemporary design (like added livability, neutral-but-better color palettes, and thoughtful accessories).
