Difference from Neo-Traditional: Fifty-Fifty, Not Seventy-Thirty

A space with a lower proportion of traditional elements. The ratio for New Traditional is roughly seven parts traditional to three parts contemporary: wainscoting covers the entire wall, Shaker-style cabinet doors, and traditional proportions for doors and windows are fully preserved, with contemporary elements merely halving the ornamentation. High-end Transitional shifts the proportion to five-five: wainscoting only reaches the waist or is reduced to a single horizontal division, cabinet doors are flat panels without handles, and window frames are so thin they are almost invisible, leaving tradition only in the habits of proportion and symmetry. Avoid: covering the entire wall with wainscoting, using framed and paneled Shaker-style cabinet doors, retaining traditional window grids, allowing traditional elements to be so numerous that their style can be easily identified.

一個傳統比重更低的空間。新傳統的配比大約是傳統七當代三:護牆板做滿、謝克式櫃門、傳統比例的門與窗保留得很完整,當代只是把裝飾減半。高階過渡把比重拉到五五:護牆板只做到腰或乾脆只留一道水平分割、櫃門是無把手的平板、窗框細到幾乎看不見,傳統只剩下比例與對稱的習慣。避免:把護牆板做滿整面牆、使用有框有板的謝克式櫃門、保留傳統的窗格分割、讓傳統的元素多到可以被指認出樣式。
