What You Will Learn
While looking at design sometimes we wonder – is it contemporary, is it traditional, or is it transitional? The struggle is real in our industry. If you ask ten designers, you may get ten different answers. Transitional design style is the often-misunderstood middle child. However, it is a huge category and could also be called the catch-all category. Paula teaches interior design students that there are three overarching categories and then dive into the subcategories underneath each.
During this session, Paula Kennedy, CMKBD, will explore features, elements of design, principles of design, materials and details that make up transitional design. By comparing with other participants, you’ll learn how to easily identify your client’s style and how the architecture of the residence plays a part as well. If you’ve never been able to define it when asked by your clients, you’ll leave this webinar with a much greater understanding, and we hope, a new appreciation for this legitimate design category.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to define the three design categories (contemporary, traditional, and transitional).
- Recognize and identify transitional design style.
- Discuss the categories, products, and design implications.
