Understanding A Transitional Interior Design Approach

It’s Personal
Carefully curated furnishings, designer fabrics and other decorative elements help to create a customized and refined space. With that said, there are certain rules to follow when designing a strictly traditional or modern home. With a transitional approach, there is greater room for creative expression and incorporating unique pieces within your spatial design — whether it’s showcasing an antique heirloom in a chic city apartment, or a sleek leather sofa and track lighting in a historic home, as seen in this Rittenhouse Square home office. On a personal level, a transitional approach means striking that perfect balance on the style spectrum to suit your unique preferences, without having to adhere to preexisting interior design expectations.
It’s Flexible
With a transitional approach to design, your interior spaces can lean more toward the past or the present. This unique flexibility allows for greater collaboration with a designer and compromise within a family. When merging multiple tastes and styles within the home, it’s best to thoughtfully select a cohesive mix of old and new elements to complement your overall spatial design. But be judicious in your choices. For a successful marriage of decorative styles, a neutral color palette and minimalist methodology can help to keep your home refined and well-appointed without seeming cluttered.
It’s Right on Point
Thanks to its flexibility, and the unique ability it offers to personalize your space, a transitional approach is fast becoming a popular option in high-end spatial design. Take this colorful Pine Street home, for example, as featured in Philadelphia & Suburban Life Magazine. This award-winning redesign is right on point, creating a timeless yet chic living space that is tailored to the homeowners’ vision and lifestyle. Neutral walls set the foundation for vibrant designer fabrics, and custom furnishings feature both cleanly contemporary and classically curved lines, making it a lovely example of the transitional design approach.
