Some people choose to mix modern with traditional decor.
When decorating your home, take into account your sense of style. If you prefer clean lines and geometric shapes, look for more modern pieces. If you like things a little more formal, with dark woods and rich fabrics, a traditional style will suit you.
Modern
Modern decor pulls from current trends and is best known for sleek lines, minimalistic styles and lighter colors or very bold contrasts. In the kitchen and bathroom, use faucets with geometric shapes and clean lines. For tables, the heavy use of glass and metals mark a modern decor style. According to SG Living Pod, "Innovative use of recycled products and woods is encouraged to give the kitchen interiors that ultra modern decor look."
Traditional
Traditional decor offers a more timeless style. It incorporate antiques, opulent or ornate accents, dark woods and floral patterns for upholstery or wall coverings. Look to the 18th and 19th centuries for classic shapes and designs for your furniture and art.
Combination
You can choose to mix both modern and traditional element in your decor. Mix formal elements with geometric shapes. Put in modern lighting over a classic dining room table. Add a wingback chair under a piece of modern art. An eclectic mix of modern and traditional styles may capture your essence better than just sticking to one theme.
