Traditional style offers more ornate details which draw from classic architectural elements. Wood tones are typically darker; think cherry and mahogany. Fabrics would include silk, brocade, velvet and damask with a heavy use of tassels, fringe, buttons, gathers and pleats.

Contemporary style uses clean lines and bold colors. It provides a more minimalistic look which incorporates glass, metal and stone as it's elements. Natural fibers and textures such as cotton, linen, silk and jute are used as details in creating this look. Geometric prints are often used to add interest, as this look incorporates fewer pieces and accessories in which to create a statement.
