DECORATING TRENDS THAT LAST
There are trends that can have universal charm when the right approach is employed. For instance, hardwoods are some of the most durable home materials, and furniture made from varieties such as mahogany, walnut, and oak can last for generations while also showcasing the unique, authentic craftsmanship that modern luxury properties have come to prize.
Marble and stone also keep well, and make gorgeous surfaces—in flooring trends, timeless kitchen designs, and high-end bathroom ideas—that give texture, tone, color, and character to a space.
Along with this is a demand for comfort. Interiors should invite calm: from elegant lighting solutions to textiles and seating. Having plush and well illuminated spaces to gather, talk, read, and relax have gained popularity among homeowners.
Décor and Design Should Endure for Decades
Timeless design trends will instill a sense of memory and antiquity into your space by using reclaimed wood, stone, and textiles. There’s also a sense of longevity. Historic structures that are still standing were obviously built to these standards.
There are many ways to incorporate modern classic design through surfaces and materials. The neutral wall colors of classic minimalist design—from creamy tints to sandy shades—remain as fashionable today as they were yesterday.
But more than just being neutral colors, there are natural colors. Soft greens, blues, and other organic hues make for mood-boosting palettes that align with homeowner’s growing need for greater integration between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Features to Help Increase Your Home’s Value
The enthusiasm for indoor-outdoor living has given glass a special prominence in modern luxury properties. Clear views of landscaping and gardens, along with strategic placement of windows and skylights for passive heating and cooling, are investment décor ideas that add value to any home. As windows and skylights get more innovative in their placement, they are also becoming more innovative in their manufacturing, with modern glass being optimized for greater durability, versatility, and sustainability (which, of course, will add value to your home).
Sustainable luxury design is sure to be top-of-mind for generations to come, with it being embedded it into homes as seamlessly as possible. Technologies such as rainwater and wastewater purification systems, photovoltaic and geothermal energy generation, and internal climate control solutions—including motorized blinds and shades—have come to define not only smart home luxury, but smart home necessity.
These home décor features are thoughtful ways to increase value, while also improving both beauty and functionality. And the same can be said for timeless design trends in general; they differentiate properties with distinctive flourishes that enhance their originality, while being simultaneously simple and subtle enough to remain desirable in any era.
Want tips for incorporating a timeless monochromatic design palette into your home? A mood board* is a great start, and will help you get the look you want.
*A mood board is a visual tool that helps you communicate your design concepts and ideas. It’s a curated collection of images, materials, color palettes, text, and other elements arranged to evoke a particular style or feeling.
