If your living room is in need of a makeover, transitional style might be just what you need to breathe new life into your décor. To get the look, start with the Avenue Six Curves 68 inch Sofa in Chocolate. At first glance, it might strike you as traditional because of the ornately turned legs and arrow feet, but the profile of the sofa’s backrest is strictly contemporary.

Still transitional, but with even more of a contemporary twist, the Distinction Leather Richmond Sofa has the feel of a more classically styled sofa because of the rolled arms.

The Klaussner Furniture Playa Sofa perfectly demonstrates how shape and the muted color palette of transitional style work together. The accent pillows in complementary colors adds texture to the sofa, and will ultimately add texture to the room’s overall design as well.

There is such a wide range to choose, from armchairs to club chairs to recliners, but a really comfy chair is a must-have living room furniture piece for curling up with a book on a rainy day, peruse the newspaper or watch your favorite TV show. The Trump Home Central Park Parc East Leather Wing Chair has classic elements such as nail head trim and wingback design. What makes this beautiful armchair transitional is the restrained decorative detail and tapered rather than ornate, curving lines.

For a standard transitional style club chair, select the Armen Living Roc Leather Club Chair.

The Kathy Ireland Home by Omnia Furniture Leather Morgan Leather Recliner would be a good place to relax after a hectic day.

A living room just can’t function without occasional tables. Coffee tables, end tables and console tables create places to put things like lamps, picture frames, a vase of flowers and those other little touches that make a home your home. The Somerton Caress Artistic Contemporary Cocktail Table displays transitional characteristics such as a reeded apron and metal accents.

Another take on the transitional end table is the Magnussen Brunswick Demilune Storage End Table with its distinctive shape. The added bonus is of course its tiers of open shelving.

A console table placed against the wall or sofa makes the room even more functional while lending the décor just that extra special touch of style. The Butler Specialty Artists’ Originals Console Cabinet has a hand-painted finish that makes it truly unique.

Transitional style has a very eclectic nature. Because the emphasis of this style is on uncluttered detail, the result is simple yet sophisticated. Blending elements of traditional and contemporary styles, transitional furniture can be easily paired with other styles to create rooms in your home that are like no one else’s.
