This weekend's Get the Look: Decor features Etsy's take on traditional homes designed by professional architects and interior designers as featured on HGTV. These beautifully designed interiors provide inspiring decorating ideas that will help you create a home that exudes a rich sense of warmth and elegance.
"'Timeless' is the watchword for traditional design, whether it's 18th century English, 19th century neoclassic or French country. Pick balanced, unfussy color palettes, tailored curtains and accessories like the Doodle Lamp, plate holder or vanity mirror below. Traditional doesn't mean stuffy — go for classic but unexpected color combos like chocolate and apple green, or keep things endlessly fresh in blue and white. Combining pieces from different eras — Louis XIV chairs with a Lucite table — gives rooms a young, exciting vibe." — HGTV
Visit HGTV's Designers' Portfolio for even more great spaces and styles to help you create the home of your dreams. The following Etsy Finds provide traditional decorating ideas that will help take your home decor to the designer level using handmade and vintage furniture and decor accents available on Etsy.
