What is traditional furniture style?
Traditional furniture style is a term commonly used by interior designers to describe furniture with a classic look. Many traditional pieces have ornate details like turned legs and crown molding and are often made from dark woods like oak, walnut and rosewood. Designers working in the traditional style often draw inspiration from antique furniture produced during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
