Traditional Style

T
raditional Style is a classic look that has withstood the test of time. Cherry, maple and mahogany wood along with tapestry, jacquard, brocade and velvet fabric are the hallmarks of this style. Furniture details associated with traditional furniture include Queen Anne legs, ball-and-claw foot legs, scrolls and carving.

Contemporary Style

Contemporary Style is a clean, casual look with simple lines. Functional beauty with minimal decorative detail in either neutral or vibrant solids, patterns and stripe fabrics and leathers highlight this style. Maple, oak and veneer wood, along with glass, chrome and stone accents help to define the contemporary style.

Country Style

Country Style is made with pine, oak, maple and birch in finishes that are painted, rubbed or distressed. Simple in design, yet more utilitarian than traditional pieces, the country look can range from Rustic lodge pieces to romantic Cottage style. Blues, pastels and soft muted colors in floral, checked and plaid add interest and color.

Eclectic Look is not a style, but a combination of styles brought together through the use of similar colors, shapes and finish. The use of one or two main colors and wood finishes helps tie in contemporary with traditional or country with contemporary. The key to avoiding a hodgepodge look is to not have too many different styles. The mix need not be 50/50 to achieve an eclectic look, but similar color and finish is important to bring it all together.
