What design style are you? __________________________________________________

Traditional

The traditional styled furniture uses the darker woods, has ornate carvings which give a very majestic feel. The decorating style tends toward a busy floor layout which matches the busy look of the furniture's details.

Country
Milk-painted woods, muted colors in general, simple lines, comfortable feel, a very busy floor layout, primitive furnishings, vintage fabrics. This is the style that Millspaugh Furniture House has been famous for over the past 148 years!
Cottage
Comfort and color reign. Furniture is painted or decorated. Furniture lines are simple and graceful. Textures include baskets, beadboard walls, natural fibers in floor and window coverings, and weathered (distressed) finish on wood furniture. The color palette is reminiscent of a flower garden.
French Country
This furniture tends to be a little more rough and rustic than most of the traditional furniture categories. Cane-back chairs and seats replace upholstered chairs, colors are deep and jewel, but include terra-cotta. Natural materials are frequently used (including terra-cotta and marble). Wire and wrought iron are also in use. Think rooster motif and toille.
Shaker
Clean, spare lines. Often mistaken for Mission as they are quite similar, despite developing in different areas of the United States. Shaker furniture tends to be a lighter color and a bit less heavy-handed than Mission. Cherry, oak and pine are favorite woods used in Shaker design.

Mission
Clean, spare, rectangular lines in dark colors. This furniture is generally substantial and is sometimes mistaken for Shaker furniture which can be a little lighter both in color and in physical presence. Design features include exposed joints which become a decoration as well as a function.

Transitional
Simpler lines than those found in more traditional styles, but not all lines as simple as contemporary. Transitional furniture is about melding comfort and more simplicity with the graceful styling of traditional furniture.

Eclectic
An eclectic style simply reflects a love of different design aspects from different time periods or styles. The overall look of an eclectically styled room is unified by the careful use of color and finish, shape and texture.

 
Sturdy, Elegant, Comfortable, Timeless. That's Millspaugh Furniture of Walden and Poughkeepsie.
