Are you looking to update your wardrobe and home for the new season? If so, you’re in luck! Transitional style is a great way to keep your look fresh while still staying true to your personal style. In this blog post, we’ll explore the elements of transitional style and offer tips on how to incorporate it into your style and home. From creating the perfect wardrobe to sprucing up your home with some seasonal touches, you’ll be ready for the new season in no time. We asked a few of our members to weigh in on this with their thoughts – let’s see what they had to say!

Stephanie Parkes shows off her best local transitional styling look all from The Hive. We love the balance of subtle color and neutral tones in this look. The jacket is a great touch as layers can always be removed when needed along with the fun accessories, making this the perfect transitional look. Adding texture and layering pieces also help you update your wardrobe for the new season – start adding knitted cardigans or chunky scarves over your outfit to provide an extra layer of warmth when needed. Accessorizing your look is a great way to stay up-to-date without breaking the bank. Jewelry, hats, bags, and shoes can add pops of color, sparkle, and personality to any outfit. With so many options available, you can add elements that reflect your personality while still being on-trend. And the fact that this look is completely local is the icing on the cake!

Designer pieces are great for transitional styling, investing in some bigger design name items like Stephanie did here is a great way to elevate your current style but also have pieces that you can use throughout the seasons that will last you a lifetime. It’s important to look at what pieces are worth investing in and which are worth being more cost conscious with as it could save you money in the long run. We love how Stephanie used this Celine bag and neon jacket to add a pop of color along with the pattern in her tops, making these great transitional looks as well! To really make the most out of your transitional wardrobe, it’s always useful to buy pieces that can be easily mixed and matched, creating different looks. This season we’re seeing lots of bright pastels like lavender, lilac, peach and baby pink – all very easy to mix together without looking too over-the-top. With the right accessories (like bold earrings or statement necklaces) you can dress up any outfit into something really eye-catching and stylish.

And don’t forget about home decor – swapping out heavier cushions or throws from winter months to brighter colors or patterns is an easy way to make your home feel lighter and fresher. Kristen of Kristen Jones Real Estate weighed in on this and said, “MANSE is the best for finding something that doesn’t look like everyone has it! Andrew is extremely knowledgeable and can find something to fit your specific transitional home decor items.” -Kristen

With the help of the shop owner at Manse, you can easily find brighter pieces here that will add a pop of color to your home for Spring! With so many options available, you can add elements that reflect your personality while still being on-trend. Don’t forget to play with plants and other greenery as you transition into the new season! Adding houseplants can bring your space to life while giving it an organic feel that will never go out of style.

Here at St. Clair Kitchens, they enjoy transitional style simply because it combines the colonial history from our location and popular contemporary aspects. The key to a transitional space is a simple palette, clean lines, and plenty of storage, having clutter takes away from the simplicity of the space. To make sure your home looks timeless, add new elements without drastically changing your furniture or color scheme. Try swapping out current fixtures or adding metal accents such as bronze doorknobs and drawer pulls. Incorporating unique pieces like handmade rugs or pottery will add texture to the room while keeping your decor looking natural. To further mix old and new trends, you can choose furniture with mid-century modern designs but still in neutral tones that match your existing color palette.

Finally, don’t forget to add candles, oil diffusers, and fresh flowers as these are easy yet effective ways to give any space an instant lift. Just remember, transitional style isn’t about changing everything overnight; it’s about slowly transitioning into something new. So don’t be afraid to experiment—it’s all part of the process! Pick up a few pieces that reflect the current trends you love. Not sure which trends you want to try? Don’t worry—there are plenty of options out there, from cool-toned hues to modern metallic accents. Shop around and find something that fits your personal taste, the team at St. Clair Kitchens is always here to walk you through the whole process and find what design works best for YOU!
