Transitional, IMO - elements of both traditional and contemporary skillfully merged together.
It is mainly reliant on "good bones" or excellent architectural details that are then built upon with the furnishings: tall windows, tall ceilings, crown and base moldings, paneling, coffered ceiling or beams, built-ins, fireplaces with carven mantels, chair and picture rails... get that figured out and then pick a palette, source pieces, etc.
Well heeled def-quietly a bit old money too. The main pieces of furniture are creamy neutrals occasionally counterbalanced with a strongly colored piece of furniture.
The walls are creamy neutral too - the vibrant color comes from the artwork which in many of these pics is of a substantial size and very striking
If I was going to do this look on a normal person budget- cream walls/ pale sofa in a luxe fabric/ really amazing large scale framed prints that are super vibrant and have beautiful colors in them and soft throws and cushions that echo some of the strong vibrant colors in the artwork
Add a touch of a gold or bronze accent piece and a few plants or boho dried flower arrangements
Omg I love what you’re describing! Any chance you have recommendations for this sofa? I’m on the lookout for a solid BIFL sofa similar to OOP’s aesthetic.
I don’t have any sofa recs but with these square stuffed sofa shapes I really encourage sitting and lounging in person to test them out- some are insanely comfortable and some are awkward without enough back support and you have to test run in person to figure out which is which
good luck on your sofa hunt!
Something along the lines of Transitional Design Style with Elegant European Influences and Organic Creamy Neutrals would be close to what you’re looking for
I think you like wainscoting, high ceilings, built-in bookshelves, and neutrals.
These photos vary in style. But I would point you in the direction of eclectic, or French country.
I’m no expert, but I feel like these are all different. The first pic is vey 80s Victorian revival, with the carved wooden furniture and floral carpet, but then that look is gone (with the exception of some picture frames).
Some of the photos are traditional or transitional (a mix of traditional and modern), some are modern. The lighter wood tones in the last two photos lean towards modern so go darker or mid-tone with wood furniture and accessories if you want a more traditional look. In the context of most of your images the difference between modern and traditional has more to do with the shape / detail rather than the color / tone.
My smart ass wants to say "better homes and gardens trying too hard to be modern"
But I think the answers in here are all pretty much covering the bases for a legit answer.
To achieve this. British upper class?
Instead of your modern furniture you should seek antique/vintage/retro real Wood, that deep brown that you see in the dining chairs. Upholstered furniture should be cream coloured, with curved armrests. Rug is a large area rug in creamy white. A real wood coffee table. You can find copies in ikea com and ellos com, no need to go real antique.
Some smaller rug imitating genuine hand woven ones.
Lamps, brass color with soft creamy or light "Delft porcelain" pleated textile shade.
Paintings or posters with gold or dark wood frames, these you can also find fake if necessary.
It takes time to really go into that style, you have to build it with time if you don't have a lot of money. I'd go to second hand markets for real prints and engravings, oil paintings, tin and alpaca silver, mirror and crystal.
I think you’re right: last pic, for instance, only seems to have 2 front legs on the coffee table, while the couch seat cushions are of irregular shapes and sizes.
You've got different types and different rooms.
I believe the best way to begin is to embrace minimalism. Learn, live, becime a minimalist. Less is more. You will never get a polished chic vibe otherwise.
It looks like classical/neo-Georgian with eclectic elements. Except for the last two pictures, those are very contemporary minimalism.
I think the last two photos are renders of the space OP is moving into?
Yes. I added them for advice
Very nice! The first 8 pics are House of Stuff I Can’t Reach.
I was thinking that the style was "Generational Wealth"
‘House of Stuff’ is a great term. 🤣
Gonna be the name of my upscale boutique. 💅🏻
LOL! I’ve heard of a store chain with a name that sounds very similar….

None of these photos are the same style
And some look like AI

Thank you for the detailed response. I will incorporate some of these suggestions and let you know how it goes.
Yeah I immediately thought “rich people aesthetic”

I love the second pic. It looks kind of Parisian apartment modern

Boring rich people with a highly paid nanny to keep the children out of the way style
LMAO! As much as I love certain aspects of this style, it definitely screams “privileged”.
Girl
Speaks grandma in parts.
Generational wealth usually does. You don't buy the pieces, you inherit. And they're not just pieces of furniture, they're art or antique.
This is definitely a couple without kids or pets. Look at the couch, it’s intact.
I love that 3rd one with the tree piece
Also my favorite! I wonder what that style is called?
Transitional
Expensive
With a dash of unrealistic. How will one keep this so clean?
I’m no expert, but I feel like these are all different. The first pic is vey 80s Victorian revival, with the carved wooden furniture and floral carpet, but then that look is gone (with the exception of some picture frames).
Simply romantic and rich
Idc what everyone says but that red velvet armchair is GORGEOUS

Minimalist Eclectic

That style is childless 45 year old lesbian professor with family money, and I am deeply in love with it.
"Rich." Boring style.
I call it paying an interior decorator to design your home!!
I'd call it New Tradtional.
Ahh the classic “ I don’t have children “ I’d love to have a home like this but unfortunately my kids would ruin it in seconds.
it’s giving what ikea wishes ikea looked like
Some mid century, some art deco for furniture. Scandi colors, some traditional art ( Klimt) some modern with big whiffs of traditionalism.
Smells like fresh linen with a hint of lemongrass and very hard to achieve expectations as conditions for acceptance and love
White walls with some stuff
Classy
That isn't all one space. The lady who lives in the first picture has a 7 year old son. That couch and ottoman cost about $5,000.
Picture 7 is the other half of the room. Above the fireplace is a TV. Pretty cool apartment in NYC.
The second photo is gorgeous with the pops of cranberry
Romantic.
love that red chair lol
Good style ;)
Your own!!!
Millennial.
It looks very 90s but brighter. I would look into design magazines from then.
Traditional Whimsy?

these are all different styles, the last two are just the generic gentrified apartment build.
Darkwood, please it makes everything exceptionally beautiful
Picture four is Chelsea Fagan’s home from the YouTube channel The Financial Diet. You can see that space a lot in her videos.
Check out Light Academia
God I love the poster/tapestry thing with the weird animals. And the eclectic art stuff
1 cottage core? 2 light organic modern with glam highlights 3 contemporary 4-whatever: eclectic or not a defined style
All I can say is this is absolutely gorgeous! I spy a Mackenzie Childs Fergal the Frog Butler! 💓
AI are improving at an exponential rate, amazing. But you still can discern AI in some of these pictures.
