Modern or Traditional- which do you prefer?

1stdibs had some nice designer features and stories this month, and I was really pleased with how varied styles were between designers. It was interesting to see how they swayed to a very modern style or over to a traditional style. It did seem like the traditional designers were a little more inclined to add some modern elements to their projects.

TRADITIONAL

Joe Nye was deliberate in his traditional styling - I love how this room is so small, but still feels "complete"

This pretty pink room from Southern Accents is traditional in most of it's furnishing, but the restraint used throughout I find very modern.

I love the branches in vases, as opposed to flowers


A traditional bedroom by Jay Jeffers, in my opinion his use of color ads a nice contemporary touch.

MODERN




Carlos Junqueira's large white space in NYC is a showroom for his love of modern design.
