Whereas with transitional, you might see detailed woodwork, carved moldings, and sturdy crafted furniture here and there, only in some spots, possibly an entire room, but just that one room.

Why Choose Transitional Interior Design

One of the reasons people elect to pursue transitional interior design is because it can be an immense challenge achieving the solidarity and cohesiveness of a single design style throughout the same home without expert interior design help, education, or experience. Transitional interior design style makes it easier to design without such help or experience, because it embraces a number of styles, and really is centered around your personal tastes.

Similarly, another reason people choose transitional interior design style over other styles is if they have a furnishing, accessory, or design component that they absolutely love, do not want to get rid of, but do not have enough other components or cannot afford to buy other components to match the one they love in order to achieve the right degree of cohesion to achieve a single design style.

For example, it might not be plausible to decorate your entire home to complement such a bold and seductive piece like the Midnight Rose wall mural. But it is easy to incorporate such a fun and bold piece if you are designing in the transitional style because you only need to make one room work around that piece, not an entire home.

Another reason people choose transitional interior design is if they have recently gotten married. Since transitional design incorporates a number of styles, it makes it easier for both partners to include something they like. If it were one of the other styles, both parties might not be able to agree on a single style they liked best. Transitional design allows something for everyone.

In other words, if you simply cannot choose a single style to pursue, transitional interior design is likely the best option for you.
