The lines of transitional furniture are typically straight, though the occasional soft, sweeping curve may be thrown in for good measure. This furniture style creates a room that is not too masculine or feminine, making it comfortable for all. An emphasis is placed on moderately scaled pieces that exude an unassuming, refined style. Color palettes are very subtle, with an emphasis on ivory, beige and tan, creating a scheme that is relaxing and uncomplicated.

Neutral tones and non-patterned fabrics create a sense of comfort in transitional spaces. Window treatments are most often modest, solid-color drapes that are shirred onto unadorned metal or wood rods. Natural elements such as stone, granite, and wood are good choices for transitional design because they can play a significant role in both traditional and contemporary styles.
