Traditional style furniture was made from deeply carved, thick wood, often stained dark, with elaborate hand-carved scrolls and with ball or claw feet. There were elaborate inlaid sections to the furniture pieces, in solid brass and exotic materials, such as bone or ivory. Fabrics were often made from silk in sophisticated patterns, solid colors or tapestries. A traditional interior is usually a cozy, comfortable and calming room. Characteristics of a traditional room include carved moldings, fine woodwork, graceful lines, and sturdy, finely crafted furniture. An overstuffed, sumptuous sofa, soft accent pillows, framed wall decorations and elegant fabric curtains are a few details often found in a traditional room.
