Music Room Home Decor

You want some accents to shine when it comes to traditional decor, but not too much. Install a new faucet with a bronze or copper finish, or hang a new light fixture in pewter or another metal with some texture.

Wood furnishings, accents and flooring have always had a place in traditional home decor. Install wood molding in your living room or add a wood handrail to stairs. You can also add a set of refinished wood chairs.

Crisp whites are still the go-to when it comes to traditional painted molding and trim. Add some crown molding to make a statement and give trim a fresh coat of paint to make it pop against the wall color.

When it comes to adding plants, think simple. Stick with plants that don’t overwhelm the room—try a small terrarium or a spider plant which can improve your home’s indoor air quality.

Bare walls have no place in traditional decor, so hang some artwork at eye level. Group similar sized items in a gallery wall and don’t be afraid to include black and white photos or even some modern art pieces, which all have a place in today’s traditional homes.

Hardwood flooring in rich maple, cherry or mahogany is still a staple of traditional decor. Install some new hardwood flooring or refinish old floors.

The key when it comes to choosing window treatments is to avoid having them match your furniture fabric. Try some light curtains, roman shades or hang some bamboo blinds. Avoid any heavy curtains, along with tiebacks and thick valances because they make a room look dated.

Whether it’s stripes or florals, patterns are still a go-to in traditional home decor ideas. Try stripes on an accent wall or hang some wallpaper in a powder room in an up-to-date pattern or floral design.
