Traditional, Transitional, and Contemporary!


These tall floor candlestands just arrived and I love their clean, crisp lines mixed with the curve at the bottom. This is a perfect example of a "transitional" piece or transitional style. If you have more traditional furniture and accents in your home, look at them and you will see that most of them have curves, swirls, loops, a certain softness about them.
If you have more contemprorary furnishings and accessories they will have clean, straight lines, more geometric patterns and shapes instead of those from nature.
These candle stands artfully combine both styles and would work with either style decor. If I think about it this afternoon, I will photograph them with a contemporary piece and a traditional piece to better illustrate what I mean!
Okay... here they are with the contemporary pieces:






And with both:


And with traditional:
