Here are a few tips for making the New Traditional style work in your home. Use light, airy colors accented with a pop of color: this makes the New Traditional home feel open and spacious rather than cramped. Keep windows uncovered, or cover them minimally with un-fussy treatments that allow natural light to stream in. Simple furniture with sleeker forms and softly curving frames adds a fresh touch to the New Traditional Home. Finally, try lighting with mixed metal finishes or fixtures that are new takes on classic silhouettes.

One way to achieve an elegant, New Traditional look is to choose lighting with a traditionally styled frame but without the fussy details so popular in the past. Here are a few of our favorite New Traditional style light fixtures from Progress Lighting that are a sophisticated blend of old and new that are ideal for a New Traditional home.
The Elara Collection offers various lighting styles with a clean contemporary design. The standout design element is a slender, chic form with stylized finials inspired by a chess pawn for a classically modern look. You can even customize the Elara Chandelier and Elara Wall Light to your preference by selecting tapered or fabric drum shades or clear cylindrical glass shades (sold separately) to make the design your own.
Embrace contemporary yet classic style with the Saffert chandelier. Clear glass shades bring a modern touch to its traditionally designed, beam-style frame, whose substantial scale and bold form make a statement in New Traditional homes.
The Parkhurst Collection shares design elements of graceful curves and bold angles across its fixture range that combine to create a softly structured, New Traditional look. For example, the Parkhurst Chandelier has an airy, elegant style that works well in dining rooms, bedrooms and great rooms to provide ambient light. Or try the Parkhurst Island Chandelier, whose airy frame defines the form to produce unobstructed layers of light, perfect for lighting kitchen tasks or a casual get-together around the island.
