We get it.  Finding the perfect pieces for your home can be tricky.  Especially when you have a very specific style you’re trying to follow.  But we’re here to help!  We recently reached out to Cozy Home fans on Facebook, asking if we could offer suggestions on finding inventory we currently have in store to match people’s specific needs.
We had some general requests for sofas and sectionals, but also had a few fun challenges.
Kara, who recently moved into a new home, commented that she was looking for furnishings to match the specific style of her space.  Her request was for: “Modern traditional for a somewhat updated 90s home!
We were on on it!  We searched up some some inspiration photos to share with everyone, that would best characterize what a Modern Traditional styled home looks like, and then went to work searching the store for pieces to best fit the style.
Here’s what we came up with.

And a bit of info we found on the style:

“For a modern take on a traditional design that doesn’t involve adding architectural interest to your space, ‘start with a neutral color base and include layers of texture and colorful accents, add bold large-scale pieces to make a statement as opposed to lots of smaller pieces, which can look busy and cluttered’. –

“To avoid a matchy-matchy room create a layered look by mixing and combining furniture pieces that have a different finish to mix it up adding texture and interest.

To bring a space up to date, add modern pieces to offset the traditional design. ‘Mix in bold contemporary finishes such as a matte black or a polished nickel to add fun highlights and enliven the space.’” –

“And, as with any design style, be sure to ‘personalize your space with interesting found objects or family heirlooms to feel collected and not staged’.” –

We hope you feel inspired by these easy to implement Modern Traditional design ideas.  Good luck furnishing your new home, Kara!  We’re here for you!
