Trends can be exciting but they also tend to become stale as soon as the next big thing comes in. For many homeowners, opportunities for a whole-home interior remodeling project can be few and far in between, making timeless designs ideal for the long term. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Larimer County shares tips on how to achieve a timeless look that you can incorporate into your home remodeling plans.
- Embrace the architectural style. For some people, the term “traditional” connotes “old” or “antiquated”. However, there’s a reason why traditional design is still in use today: they’ve stood the test of time. Often, it’s best to show off the house’s architectural style, instead of changing it up too much or reinterpreting it.
- Let nature in. Ever notice how materials like bricks, wood and stone seem to work in just about any setting, whether it’s a modern mansion or a storefront for a local family business? That’s because they’re found in nature, and therefore associated with longevity and durability. If your home’s existing parts have these materials, whether it’s a brick wall or wood flooring, show them off instead of hiding them behind plaster and carpeting.
- Take the holistic approach. A holistic approach to home design involves creating a space that serves all aspects of your home life, including your daily routines, way of living and wellness goals. Taking this approach prioritizes your home’s livability, which can outlast changing styles and trends.
- Choose a neutral color palette. Neutral colors may sound boring, but their longevity is undeniable. Nearly every home remodeler would recommend beige, gray and white as a base color because they work like a blank canvas: they highlight furniture, fixtures and decor, as well as allow the freedom to change things around when you need it.
- Add more natural lighting. Much has been said about the benefits of natural lighting, from energy savings to health benefits. In terms of home design, natural light creates an uplifting look that no lighting fixture can match; it’s a constant in any home design.
