When it comes to your style, going with what is trendy and hip is relatively easy to do. However, with interior design, this can get tricky given how expensive furniture is. Also, choosing the right paint colors is a major undertaking. While updating the look of your home is a process that takes a lot of time and effort, you can still pull it off as long as you find a balance between the trendy and the timeless.
In this blog, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, one of the top interior remodeling contractors in the area, offers valuable tips for a timeless interior.
Invest in Quality Staples You Love
Trend-proofing your home begins with choosing timeless pieces you love. Furniture, in particular, is a great place to start. Pick a classic design of a neutral color so it will remain stylish for years to come. A bright or bold hue may prevent you from choosing other accessories. Those that fall on the cream or gray color spectrum give you more leeway to select accessories that fit your style.
When purchasing furniture for your living room, avoid trendy finishes like marble, copper or any hardware or motif that can easily date the piece. Ask yourself this question before you buy an item: “Will it work in my living room in five or 10 years?”
Stay Away From Trends That Are Hard to Change
At some point, you’ll get bored with your living spaces. For them to remain timeless, home remodeling contractors advise against incorporating trends that are hard to change. You don’t want to feel buyer’s remorse about a certain color, pattern or decorative detail that may be fashionable today but ends up losing its charm in years to come.
Future-Proof Your Home
While we don’t always know what the future holds, it’s a good idea to plan your living spaces with your goals, aspirations and potential changes to your lifestyle in mind. For example, if you see yourself starting a family soon, opt for walls and floors of a darker neutral color. Going with an all-white motif makes it harder to keep clean. By considering such things, you’ll find that it’s easier to create a space that you’ll enjoy for many years to come.
