What is a Traditional Style?

Traditional style homes are similar to country style homes but they differ in terms of how they portray more historically accurate details that help exude simple, unique charm. A traditional style home does not adhere to just a particular style but instead, it manages to combine a series of designs and features together to showcase accessibility and practicality with a classic touch. Floor plans of traditional style homes are flexible and generally basic. They can easily accommodate large families due to the extensive layout they offer which can accommodate up to four bedrooms.

VIEW PORTFOLIO

Traditional style homes have colors that are often soothing and calm. They also maintain interior features such as detailed millwork. Traditional style homes are known to be much more functional and this is their key distinguishing feature apart from their clean and simple design. Most traditional style homes come with little to no embellishments found on their exterior for that basic outlook. The traditional style is the most prevalent in the architecture of American homes until today. It often features an exterior that is made of stone, brick or stucco and may come with a covered porch.

PROS AND CONS OF BUILDING

A TRADITIONAL STYLE HOME

BRICK EXTERIOR

PROS

  • Cheaper, Cost-effective

  • Traditional Look

CONS

  • Weaker than Stone or Stucco

  • Highly porous, may cause issues like cracks and mold to arise in weather fluctuations

STONE OR STUCCO EXTERIOR

PROS

  • Sturdy, built to last

  • Resistant to weather, no major changes from weather fluctuation

CONS

  • More expensive

  • Less opportunity for ornate features; simple design

Bricks may be cheaper to build with but they are not as strong as stucco or stone. They are also highly porous which may cause issues like cracks and mold to arise due to weather fluctuations. Traditional style homes also lack of modern elements which do not stand out in the neighborhood they may not necessarily fetch a high sales price.

With that said, traditional style homes are more suited to owners who are looking for a more conventional style. A traditional style home is also versatile in the sense that it can easily blend seamlessly into any location. It is great for families who can look forward to all the space they need to incorporate decks, a basement, and fireplaces.
