What makes home decor timeless? What associations does the word “classic” bring about for you?
Ask ten people and you’ll get ten different answers. For most, “classic” is more of a feeling than a definable concept.
That said, I think there are some general steps you can take to craft evergreen interiors that are immune from changing fads.
Here’s my take.
Every room has its own personality. And light plays a crucial factor.
By day, brighter is usually better, especially for plants, so mesh curtains are a big help. Large windows also contribute to a timeless yet distinctive appearance while making a room feel bigger.
But in the darker hours, you’ll need artificial light. Layering dim lamps helps create a pleasant atmosphere and avoids the overwhelming effect of one big light. IKEA is one of my favorites for lamps.
Heavier curtains are also preferable as they keep out the cold. You can reach a middle ground by adding mesh and heavy curtains to the same curtain rod. This will also create extra layering of textures.
Inject your home with as much nature as possible for a classic look. I’m a touch biased (I run a gardening site after all), but it’s practically impossible to have too many plants.
You can also increase the sense of nature by opting for materials like wood, marble, clay, leather, fur and wool. Creative finishes like wood paneling, marble fireplaces, solid wood floors, woolen cushions, throws and so on are all good options.
Don’t be afraid to play about with textures and placements, and try to incorporate as many natural elements as you can.
If you want to go a step further, consider incorporating a water feature. There are lots of inexpensive and do-it-yourself options if you’re on a budget.
