Transitional Modern: How Mixing Antique Inspired Pieces Can Add Warmth and Character in a Modern Home

Infusing each room with both antique and modern lighting fixtures and decor, this week we explore Transitional Modern styling. By featuring mid-century and traditional furnishings and fixtures, mixed with modern lighting and mixed metals, this Kitchen, Living Room, and Bath each embody an effortless edge that is softened by an earth toned color palette. Follow along as we highlight our favorite pieces that make this stunning design!

Starting from the ground up, Matrexx Floors’ “Yellowstone” collection of WPC (wood-polymer core) in the color “Driftwood” balances each of the featured spaces by keeping them bright with it’s natural wood tone and subtle knotting which gives it a subdued “rustic” look. WPC vinyl flooring products are an ideal choice for most home owners, offering a thicker and slightly softer core as compared to SPC (stone polymer core) vinyl flooring, making for a more comfortable walking surface in a home, without sacrificing any waterproofing abilities. Because of these characteristics, we decided to display this plank in the kitchen, living room, and bath of this design for a look that flows seamlessly throughout the rooms creating a sense of design continuity.

Pertaining to the theme of mixing traditional elements with that of mid-century, the “Glasgow” chandelier by Corbett Lighting perfectly mixes that of modern and mid-century complimenting the mid-century inspired sofa and bringing a sense of intrigue to the living space. Likewise, flowing with the earth toned color palette of the bathroom, the “Nadine” pendant from Mitzi features curled linen petals enveloping the bulbs of the fixture, softening the space with it’s unique construction.

Lastly, adding a baroque flare within this master bath is the “Donatello” soaking tub from Hydrosystems. Inspired by the 15th century works of the Italian Sculptor, this tub offers both beauty and functionality with optional add-ons available for a remote-controlled thermal air system as well as chromatherapy.
