The Modern Home Decor Trend Stylish Home Owners Will Love

by Elizabeth Liew  /   October 26, 2016

If you’re not a fan of home designs that are too themed or heavy on one certain style, transitional-style homes might be just for you. As its name suggests, transitional interiors combine contemporary designs with old world charm for a timeless, classic design that won’t go out of fashion easily.

Pei Zhen, who is an interior designer at The Scientist, says that this style offers “a beautiful balance of elegant Classic and clean Scandinavian elements”.

Read on to see an example of a transitional style home and ways to achieve the look:

It’s all about paying attention to details and adding decorative pieces in a tasteful manner to give modern furnishings flair and character. Avoid going overboard with decor, the right amount of restraint prevents things from getting too cluttered and overwhelming.

Have A Feature Wall

“An English Beading Recess design can enhance an otherwise ‘boring’ or ordinary-looking bomb shelter,” Pei Zhen advises. Update traditional wall molding by making it a feature wall and play with wood textures for added flair.

Opt For Luxe Finishings

Throw some gold or copper accents into the mix, or opt for elegant patterns and light fixtures that can really elevate the look of your home without breaking the bank.
