Traditional home design - Living rooms

In home decor I like more natural materials, natural light, open spaces... . It's great when space is all that and cozy & intimate, all in one.
Here are some living rooms that could fit this description.

In this white-beige-marine blue living room I'd remove some of the details. Color scheme makes this place intimate and open. Removing the armchair (maybe to the other side of the room) and the pillar with vase would do the trick for me. This is great design for beach houses with traditional home design.


In next black & white living room I really love most of the furniture pieces; writing desk in corner is so lovely, the coffee table is very beautiful,... , but I'd also change some things (wall tattoo, fabric on ottoman is a bit too much for my taste).


The wall color (between mustard and pastel lime) works really well for this huge space. This traditional living room has a bohemian feel to it (miss matched furniture, carper, wall color, details). I'm in love with that bookshelf!


In next pic we don't see much, but my guess is that we see the best of it - brick fireplace and huge windows! These are the key points of this place, and it's highlighted so well. Usually I don't like glass coffee tables much, but this works great for the space.


Stone floors, fireplace and wood lend this gorgeous space a natural / primitive feel. Other furniture and detail complete the look.


So much natural light fills this gorgeous off white living room. Light teal, pastel yellow and brown are great choice for the color scheme.


Such a serene space, this living room has a beach house feel, but not too highlighted. It's like you could guess there's a beach nearby, but there are no obvious details (ropes, starfishes, blue stripes etc.). I love the stripes, and even consider painting my own living room this way. Wide horizontal stripes make the space extended and more serene, while vertical stripes may be a little bit overwhelming (they would work better in huge spaces).


This living room is so chic and elegant, spacious and with lots of natural light coming from those huge windows. Look at the great details - golden side table is such a gem. Floors are amazing.


Calm and cozy living room with great color scheme (grey, teal).

Traditional home design - Dinning rooms

Classic or traditional dinning rooms remind me of home cooked meals, healthy diet and lots of time with friends and family. They are considered to be focal points of any home.

This dinning room has so many excellent details, but I'd say that brick wall + fireplace make the best feature. Massive table is great, and it would also work in shabby chic decor.


Although I usually don't really like this shade of brown (chairs), I find this dinning room so well balanced.


I find next dinning room to be a good combination of traditional and country style. This dinning room just screams "Apple pies!" :)


This dinning room has it all - great floors, amazing fireplace, so much space for this long, long table. Even though this style is out of reach for most of us, there are some details that are useful to see, like natural wooden table and chairs, great grey color of the walls, and white details.


A mix of traditional and shabby decor works so nice in next dinning room. Bright white walls, dark furniture and distressed table are it's main features.


Elegant traditional decor is achieved in this spacious room filled with natural light. Cabinet is stunning, although I'm not completely sure it's the best choice for this space. On the other hand, I don't particularly like these chairs, but I think they're great for this room.

Traditional home design - Bedrooms

Another word for traditional could be classic. Here I'll list some traditional bedrooms, with clear lines, not overcrowded with details and furniture, with lots of natural light, and elegant design. I also took good care to find bedrooms fit for both genders, so I hope you'll find this list useful.

This simple and cozy blue white bedroom achieved this feel with lots of beautiful details such as fabrics (wool pillows!), books, lamp. Bed has such great lines. Floors are a bit bold choice, but they came up so great!


Next bedroom feels so warm and cozy, but it's still very spacious. Brick wall + carpet + dark wood in contrast to huge windows and white walls make such a harmonious space.


Such serene and elegant space is pulled up with a pale teal color scheme. Details are gorgeous, too.


Window benches are one of my favorite things in home design. Here it's incorporated so well. The whole bedroom is elegant, chic and spacious. Off white and grey color scheme works great for this space.


I would like to change so much in this bedroom - curtains, wallpapers, lamps... . But, I thought I'd share it anyway, mostly to show these gorgeous cabinets! They make this bedroom have somewhat an oriental feel to it.

Again I left my favorite bedroom for the end. :)
Although I'm more fan of dark brown pieces in white space, this is absolutely amazing! So simple and natural, really beautiful traditional / primitive / elegant bedroom.

Traditional home design - Kitchens

Traditional kitchens are one of my favorite styles. Here are few elegant classic kitchens, I hope you'll enjoy these kitchen designs.

First kitchen has elements of classic and contemporary design. It's open with lots of useful add-ons that make it very practical. This kitchen has black furniture and white floors, the design is very clear, functional and modern with classic elements.


This is very interesting black furniture with metal border. This kitchen is a mixed style of traditional and industrial chic (which I *love* so much!).


Third kitchen also has black furniture, but it's yet another style. This time it's a cross style of traditional and country style.


This off white kitchen with black counters is mixed style of traditional and shabby chic.


Next comes a pale gray / blue kitchen filled with natural sunlight. I like the open shelves and vintage details.


Such a warm and cozy space is this light filled pale butter-cream / white kitchen. Looks so cheerful.


I adore just about anything in this kitchen - so much open space, natural light, gorgeous ceiling, floor... an, oh my! the bar chairs! I'm in love! :)
(You'll find out on this blog that I really adore white spaces with dark brown highlights.)

Traditional home design - Bathrooms

Of all rooms bathroom is my favorite room in the house. It's a place were you can relax, enjoy yourself in hot baths, and just have some your own private quality time. That's why I think it's really important that you feel comfortable in bathroom.

I'm picking on buying one of these ceramic jars with basin. All the details on this pic are well combined, and I can imagine having a long bath in this place. :)
Tiles are so cute!


It's true that a bathroom can be beautiful and have lots of storage. I especially like the wooden floor, as well as the wooden bath tub edge. Such a clear, cozy space.


Crisp white space with a pop up of dark brown (you'll see that I really, really like this combination) makes this bathroom so inviting and refreshing.


Color scheme is really great in this bathroom. Pastel coral and blue (not baby blue!) go so well with white.


Marbled floors aren't my favorite, but it looks very nice in this bathroom. Sienna color makes it look very natural. Built in bath tub seems like a very cozy space for long hot baths.


Bright bathroom with lots of natural light looks even larger with pastel sage wall color.Wall tiles are so pretty.
