Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Small spaces suit new traditional well—a few cherished antiques, one bold traditional piece, and personal art create character without overwhelming. Quality over quantity is built into the style. For a small boardroom: Small boardrooms (6-8 seats) suit smaller organizations or secondary boardrooms. Maintain quality and presence despite smaller scale.
Large Space Tips
Large new traditional spaces can embrace more collected items, multiple seating areas mixing eras, and gallery walls of family pieces. The collected approach fills space with personality. In a larger boardroom: Large boardrooms (18+ seats) handle full board meetings, shareholder events, and major presentations. Impressive presence with full technology and hospitality.
Budget-Friendly
New traditional is perfect for budget decorators—use inherited pieces, thrift-store finds, and estate sale antiques. The style celebrates the collected look that builds over time.
Luxury Approach
Source museum-quality antiques, commission contemporary art, and invest in custom upholstery for inherited pieces. Work with designers who appreciate the collected, personal approach.
