Traditional interior design: Give your home the traditional touch

There are ways that you can add such details even in modern homes. For example, you may opt for wall panelling, crown mouldings using POP, or adding jaalis to the balcony.

If you want to introduce a few traditional aspects in your design, look for intricate statement pieces such as sofas, diwans, almirah, a four-poster bed, etc. Alternatively, you can focus on the details— frames of artworks and mirrors, door frames, handicrafts, etc.

3. Curves and Arche

When it comes to shapes and lines, traditional interiors are diametrically opposed to modern and contemporary styles that favour sleek, clean and angular lines. Curved armrests, arched backrests, and cabriole furniture legs give the room a majestic feel like no other. Add to it intricate carvings and inlays, and the elegance will remain unmatched. These soft curvy lines also are quite soothing and inviting.

5. Lighting in Traditional Homes

The maximalism of the traditional style carries on even with light fixtures. Chandeliers, sconces, candelabras, and ornate table lamps are all right at home in traditional house interiors. To maintain symmetry and cohesion, get a pair of fixtures when possible. And ensure that the finish matches the traditional home décor of the room. If you want to keep the décor lowkey but still have statement pieces or traditional hints in your traditional modern house, statement light fixtures are the way to go.

7. Traditional Décor, Art and Accessories

Paintings of portraits, still life and landscapes were very much a part of traditional homes. In the Indian context, you also come across frescoes, reliefs, sculptures and murals in home interiors. The addition of art in any form can elevate the décor in any room. Look into incorporating classical and folk art through painting or murals. When considering the living room design, exploring the incorporation of classical and folk art through paintings or murals can truly elevate the décor and create a captivating atmosphere.

If you're an antique collector, now is the time to showcase the beauties. A gallery wall, a dedicated shelf, or spread them across the home as baubles are a few ways to do it. Family heirlooms, furniture, rugs, plates, etc., all make for gorgeous décor and accessories.

How do you Design Traditional-style Homes?

• Prioritise symmetry and cohesion when choosing layouts.
• In western-style homes, opt for neutral palettes and jewel tones for pops.
• In an Indian-style home, don't shy away from colour. Part of the charm and liveliness is the riotous colours.
• Since the traditional style doesn't belong to any specific era, don't be afraid to take inspiration from various periods for dynamic interiors.
• Use textiles and patterns freely and ensure all furniture is upholstered.
• Wood, terracotta, and marble are popular flooring options.
• Don't forget the windows— jaalis, layered curtains, curtain valances, shutters, etc. are all a part of traditional window treatments.
• Mix it up with reproductions, antiques and contemporary pieces to avoid a showroom set-up and dated look.
• Additionally, use it as an inspiration or starting point instead of the end goal for intentional and personalised interiors.
