Showcasing a blend of traditional designs and contemporary aesthetics, transitional style is all about creating balance. Clean lines, subtle curves and neutral color palettes are all hallmarks of transitional furniture, though there’s room for eye-catching accents as well. So long as you maintain a sense of harmony among your furnishings and decor, this theme offers a timeless yet fashion-forward look.

Transitional furniture takes a tonal approach to color by layering multiple instances of the same neutral hue across several pieces. A transitional living room set boasting charcoal upholstery, pewter accent pillows and brushed nickel nailhead trim captures this chic look. Alternatively, beige seats with taupe and tan pillows achieve the same effect in brighter tones.

For a transitional dining room, choose functional pieces that feature both classic wood finishes and modern touches. For example, the glossy natural and walnut finish of a two-tone counter height dining set strikes a traditional chord, while stools with saddle seats and angled legs lean more contemporary. To complete the look, add a wood-finished server with tapered legs and silver-toned hardware.

If you’re looking to apply a transitional theme to a primary bedroom or guest suite, consider dark gray sleigh beds with recessed panels or dressers and nightstands with antique silver-finished pulls. Bedroom collections with vintage molding, wood knobs and two-tone finishes offer a different take on the theme that still evokes the best of each design style.
