Choose Rich Wooden Tones

Natural wood is a material that frequently features in the decor of traditional living rooms, but you rarely see pale or blond woods. Instead, like in this living room by Charbonneau Interiors, wooden furniture and decor tend to be in dark and rich tones. Highly glossed dark wooden pieces are also a common feature.

Hang Some Historical Art

Historic art, whether landscapes, portraits, or still life, are very much at home in classic living spaces like in this living room by LeeAnn Baker Interiors.

Keep It Fresh

Traditional rooms like this one from Mosaic Architects don't speak to any specific age group and could belong to a family or couple, young or old.

Mix Elegance with Comfort

Although you occasionally see delicate armchairs in traditional living rooms, the emphasis when it comes to seating is really on comfortable, sit-back-and-relax pieces.

Highlight Exposed Beams

While it's normal to see a fair bit of color in traditional living rooms, an all-neutral space like this one is more than acceptable. And while a lot of frills and details are also often found in traditional rooms, they're not mandatory.

Focus on the Fireplace

Since traditional rooms rely on balance and symmetry, having such a distinct focal point to arrange furniture around is ideal.

Factors To Consider When Building A Geodesic Home

According to Shelter Structures, a specialist company in mobile and modular space solutions, here are some things to consider before building geodesic domes: 

Consider the purpose and diameter of your dome house before buying a geodesic dome kit. Domes above 20 meters are great for large-scale social gatherings, events, and art exhibitions, while 10-20 meter domes work best for small concerts, outdoor weddings, and corporate events. Geodesic domes below 10 meters are suitable for greenhouses, Airbnbs, hotels, campgrounds, and workspaces. 
Your budget is crucial as it determines dome homes' size, design, and quality. Geodesic domes below 10 m are more affordable for those with limited budgets.
You must also use high-quality materials like PVC, polycarbonate, and pre-drilled frame tubes. Ensure that everything is labeled correctly and that you have all you need. You'll need tools like thick ropes, a tape measure, a step ladder, electric and adjustable wrenches, and a utility knife. You'll also need a hammer drill if the structure is on a concrete foundation.
Consider the local building regulations and permits you might need. There are varying zoning laws and building codes that can affect your construction. Ensure you have all necessary permits to avoid unnecessary stress.

Lake Superior, Michigan/Minnesota/Wisconsin

Lake Superior is the largest of North America's Great Lakes and the largest freshwater lake in the world. Its massive expanse earned it the nickname “freshwater sea.” It would take almost two hundred years to drain Lake Superior.
