As the name suggests, traditional-style homes are inspired by, well, tradition. Rather than sticking to a single, specific blueprint, traditional homes mix and match characteristics of multiple historic architectural styles, primarily those of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The style is a mix of classic elements pulled from homes past with modern elements of home design.
Common elements of this style include symmetrically placed windows, simple rooflines, and modest details.
In most cases, “traditional” houses built during the 20th century will mix various elements drawn from colonial, farmhouse, and neoclassical styles.
No matter where you are, traditional-style houses always look like they’re in the right place.
