Traditional and Transitional Interiors

Classic rooms with timeless furniture, rich fabrics and refined details, or a fresh blend of traditional and modern.

Traditional interiors favor symmetry, rich fabrics, classic furniture and refined details. Transitional design softens that with cleaner lines and a more neutral palette. Both have staying power. Homeowners in Nashville, home to many established neighborhoods, ask us for traditional and transitional interiors that feel elegant, comfortable and never dated.

We start with a Free Estimate and a look at the architecture and your tastes. We plan balanced layouts, choose classic or updated furniture, select fabrics, drapery and rugs and layer in lighting, art and accessories with careful scale and proportion. We coordinate with workrooms and suppliers and style each room so it feels collected and gracious. Traditional design is built on proportion and layering: crown molding, wainscoting, a good rug, drapery with presence, lamps in pairs and art hung at a comfortable height. Transitional design edits those elements, simplifying shapes, lightening colors and mixing in a modern piece or two. We help you find the right balance for your house and your life. We also consider how the rooms flow from one to the next, so formal and casual spaces feel related and comfortable. We also pay close attention to proportion, hanging curtains at the right height, choosing lamps of a suitable scale and arranging art in balanced groupings so the rooms feel calm and well composed.
