It’s not always easy to describe your design style. While you may know what you like or don’t like based on instinct, it’s a whole other matter entirely to put those feelings into words. Most of us probably fall somewhere in between clear-cut definitions, from modern and traditional to bohemian and glam, simply because it’s easier to incorporate ever-shifting trends and individual style when there’s a little wiggle room. And that’s where transitional design comes into play: It’s set in the middle of old and new.
“If you are like me and have a love for old homes that are in need of new life, then transitional design is a way to bring old design elements into modern-day living,” says artist Sarah Madeira Day. “I like it, because it allows you to discover traditional elements and repurpose them for current design and use."
