traditional-modern
Heritage meets contemporary
Traditional-modern describes a blend of old and new elements, combining conventional or heritage aspects with contemporary ones.
The term appears in design, architecture, and lifestyle contexts where classic aesthetics meet current sensibilities: a traditional-modern kitchen with farmhouse cabinets and stainless steel appliances, their traditional-modern wedding mixed family customs with personal touches.
