That certainly seems to be\nthe case with today\u2019s topic: new traditionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ignoring the obvious oxymoron, new traditionalism is taking\nInstagram, Pinterest and design blogs by storm. This new trend is being steered\nby trendy elder millenials, who have taken elements of classic design such as\nfloral prints and needlepoint and pared it with modern art and furniture. It\u2019s\nan appreciation for the past rather than a complete reproduction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In part one of this two-part blog series, we take an\nin-depth look at what this trend entails. Join us for part two next week for\ntips on trying it out for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Traditionalism\n(AKA \u2018Grandmillenial\u2019 Style)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo by yann\nmaignan<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional design is a broad term for a very distinct\ndesign style. One knows traditional style when they see it. It\u2019s characterised\nby checked and floral patterns, chintz, fringing, pleats and ruffles, vintage\nfurniture, antiques and Chinoiserie. You might even expect to see classical art\nand elaborate architectural features like columns and ceiling roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New traditionalism takes a lot of these elements and\nmodernises them with fresh colour palettes and pared back details. It\u2019s heavily\nedited and considered, which means the end result is cosy and layered, not\ncluttered and cloying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It seems to be a direct rebellion against the all-white\nminimalist homes that have dominated Instagram for years. New traditionalism is\nfull of personality; which seems to be its greatest appeal. It also makes a lot\nof sense in a society more concerned than ever with sustainability and\nlongevity that we\u2019d loop back around to a trend with timeless style at its\ncore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So what do you think; is new traditionalism here to stay?\nWill you be trying this trend out for yourself?
