Residences with traditional touch designs are now less popular with some modern people. This is because their notion of a traditionally designed house is a dull, old-fashioned look. A traditional-style house will create an atmosphere of peace, comfort, relaxation, and unpretentiousness if planned and designed properly. This kind of atmosphere will balance the occupant's life so they can explore life's essence in simple peace.

Several things need to be considered to apply traditional concepts to the housing so that the old-fashioned impression does not seem boring.

Application of natural elements

Traditional-style interior design is synonymous with using natural materials, such as wood and natural stone, applied to almost all house parts. Usually, natural materials applied to traditional interior design are deliberately not finished to highlight the material's natural properties that display a natural roughness. As a result, using natural materials can give a warm impression, closer to nature, and thick with a beautiful atmosphere typical of traditional styles.

Furniture models with unique carving details

The existence of furniture in the interior of a house becomes important when its role doubles as decoration. In traditional-style interior design, use furniture that has classic lines and unique details, such as classic handmade carvings by traditional craftsmen. In addition, traditional-style furniture usually has soft and smooth edges to show that it flows with the atmosphere of the space. Traditional furniture placed on several sides of the space will appear dynamic with a combination of soft textures, colors, and authentic classic carvings.

Communal space as a core part of the house

When designing traditional-style housing, residents need to think about the function of communal spaces, which are usually pavilions. Traditional residences will require a pavilion as a multipurpose room that can accommodate the needs of the living room, family room, dining room, and gathering room. Communal space designs that carry the traditional concept are generally designed with a large space and a slightly high ceiling to perfect their role as the core of a dwelling.
