Traditional deco style – a true treasure trove

Inspired by classical design movements and historical eras, traditional deco style embraces timeless charm, exudes elegance and has a soothing symmetry. Traditional interiors have a knack for making spaces feel warm and inviting, thanks to their rich colours, dark tones and intricate touches. Though its roots are historical, traditional style is incredibly flexible and easy to personalise with your own treasures and finds.

Traditional deco style furniture – recline in elegance

Creating classical spaces is easy with traditional deco style furniture, whose cosy, welcoming feel, seamlessly marries the historical and the artisanal. Traditional style furniture is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and enduring grace. Whether in wooden chairs or upholstered armchairs, this style is about elegant contours and classic comfort. It’s supported by metal display cabinets that, topped with trailing plants and small sculptures, offer a simple-yet-beautiful stage for cherished collections of glassware or trinkets.

Traditional deco style accessories – the art of display

Traditional deco style interiors bring together decorative accessories such as rippled glass vases, dried flowers, black-and-white photography and everyday treasures placed under glass display domes. The traditional aesthetic is often characterised by an antique look with meticulous detailing and a sense of sophistication. Additionally, elements such as cushions have simple tied closures and throws are edged with soft fringing.

Traditional deco style bedroom – take it softly

To support rest and recovery, the traditional deco style bedroom is less ornate in its details than other parts of the traditional deco style home. It leans more on rich colours in darker tones, on plain geometric prints for bedding, natural rush floor mats and dark wood bedframes and bedside tables. Home accessories and books remain a feature, but in small collections to keep the space peaceful. A minimalist take on the sumptuous feel of traditional deco style interiors is shown in soft knitted blankets and soothing wall colours like olive green or deep grey.

Traditional deco style bathroom – simply soothing

In the traditional deco style bathroom, walls, floors, sanitaryware and textiles in soft shades of cream, grey, beige and warm wood mix with functional wall shelving with hooks and storage in black metal. With nods to traditional techniques in its painted wood panelled walls, woven basketry and waffle towelling, the feeling is luxurious but not fussy; crafted but not crowded.

Traditional deco style kitchen – an eclectic recipe

Functional elegance with hints of nature defines the look and feel of the traditional deco style kitchen, which is tied together by a monochrome colour palette and accessories in wood and seagrass. White metro wall tiles and panelled kitchen cabinets set the scene, with this style’s love of collections coming in through hanging pots and pans, kitchen utensils and chopping boards. Then there’s open shelving for eclectic cookbooks and a storage trolley on wheels to bring needed utensilsclose to the kitchen worksurface. Potted herbs on the counter and windowsill plants bring the natural world in.
