I wanted something that could last a long time in case I decided to sell
When I was looking at updating my living room I never would have considered hiring an interior designer. My sister did and raved about how much better it was to consult a professional. Neither of us have any natural style. What we do have is money and no time. This makes a perfect combination to let the experts handle it. I called the interior design company for some assistance. The woman came over with her book of styles, colors, and fabrics. I looked at traditional style, contemporary style, transitional style, and southwest style in particular. Southwest was way too funky and bold for me. Contemporary seemed boring. I was going back and forth between traditional and transitional. What is the difference between the two? Thankfully the woman I was working with is a professional and knows her craft. So with a traditional style you are getting a neutral, modern look. Think whites, beiges, and minimal aesthetic pops. It is a more bland, but easy going look. It also is quite modern. Transitional is the blend between classic and modern. You get the beiges but you get pops of color. You have modern and not so modern furniture pieces. I really liked that blend. I didn’t want to look like I designed my house in 2024 and be out of date. I wanted something that could last a long time in case I decided to sell. Transitional style really worked out in my favor. I feel like everyone really enjoys the look of my living room now.
