When it comes to different kinds of decorators and designers, I would have to say that I definitely would put myself at the more classic and traditional end of the scale as far as design goes. While I totally value the importance of being up to the minute and toeing the line of design and awesome, I usually run everything through my filter of timeless classics. That is to say that if I can’t see an item that I’m designing being used or being in style in five years, then there’s every chance that I probably won’t be using it in my design. This could be a good or a bad thing, but whatever it means for the greater world, it means for me that I’m pretty safe in my design choices.
I believe that it’s very important to get things like design right, and I believe that it’s important to place myself on the right end of the scale in terms of practicality and value. I definitely consult blogs and sources like Richard Ellis Design’s website, and I make sure that I look at what’s going on in the design world as a way to stay relevant and current. There’s an argument for using a mixture of trendy design and a mixture of using classic design, and it’s important to know how to design in order to achieve the right balance.
Here are a few ideas to help you balance things out so that they stand the test of time – because I’m all for the value of a timeless design, to be frank.
When you are looking to decorate your home, it’s important to choose a timeless design – which I think is a great way to get the most out of your money and the design palette that you have chosen. Be sure to think about what you want to do with the space in the future, and modify your colour choices as you see fit – but ultimately take care with your choices and choose things that won’t date too quickly.
