Just like you want your dream house built to last, you also want the design to last as well. Many homeowners strive to capture their personal style however; eventually they change up their home decor. You don’t have to keep redesigning your home. Here’s how to ensure a timeless design by following these four tips!
Don’t Follow Fads
It might be difficult nowadays with a barrage of images of the latest in design, but you’ll want to stay away from the popular design trends to ensure a timeless design. Most design fads go out of style, making any home design in those trends dated. To capture a timeless design, you’ll want to stick to classic looks. Classic designs are usually simple, but sophisticated and definitely not unconventional. However, if you really want to incorporate certain design trends you can. Keep the base of the house classic and experiment with decorations to incorporate the most recent trends.
Make it Functional
Before you start designing any room you should take a step back and think about the intended use. Then, design with purpose and functionality in mind. Think logically about the placement of furniture and your design is bound to be timeless. Most of the time less is more when it comes to functionality and timeless design. Don’t choose an oversized sofa or busy patterns and spaces, you want to balance the room with furniture that fits the room perfectly. Timeless design is usually scaled, proportioned, and sensible. It should not overpower a room or seem unimportant; the design should be functional and classic.
Design with Staying Power and Traditional Design Elements
Timeless design was not created to be temporary. However, if you’re looking to achieve timeless design make sure to design with staying power. Seek out design elements that have been considered classic or traditional, which were created to last. Timeless design is actually fairly easy to achieve. Traditional design elements like style, color, and natural architectural details will help the overall design feel timeless. Some traditional design elements consist of: Neutral colors, clean lines and shapes, and natural materials like wood, cotton, and stone. With all this in mind, aim for simplicity and elegance and you’ll be sure to capture a timeless design.
