      A traditional look for your living room will involve choosing the right types of furniture. You will want to look at Queen Anne style chairs, Wingbacks, and smaller framed pieces. You can still find reclining wingback chairs also, so you don't have to give up comfort for style. Sofa's will have curves (camel back sofas and pleated skirts are also very traditional looks).
