What is Transitional interior design?
Transitional design sits in the middle ground between traditional and contemporary, and that is precisely why it is one of the most popular staging styles there is. It takes the comfort, warmth and familiar silhouettes of traditional design and pairs them with the clean lines, calm palette and lack of clutter of contemporary design. The result keeps the best of both: classic shapes softened by simple upholstery, neutral tone-on-tone colour schemes, restrained texture instead of busy pattern, and a mix of metals and materials handled with a light touch. Nothing dates, nothing jars. For real-estate photography this balance is a real asset — transitional rooms photograph as elegant, current and broadly appealing, and they make it easy for almost any buyer, of almost any taste, to imagine themselves living there.
