287 // Are you tired of trends? Try these 6 things for a classic and timeless design

Hey friend! 

Do you wonder what's a TREND and what's NOT in home design? Do you worry that the choices you make today will be a fad and thrown by the wayside tomorrow? Do you want to make confident, timeless choices so you can be confident your design decisions will stand the test of time?

In today's episode I'm sharing 6 design elements that define the classic, timeless design style. It's not too dissimilar from Quiet Luxury, which I talked about in episode #169. 

Simply put, timeless design is a "style that looks elegant and fresh over time and isn't bound to any particular trend or time period." So, what are those 6 design elements that you should include in your home if you want a home that looks timeless? 

1. Simplicity: less really is MORE 

2. Quality: less quick fabrication and MORE high quality pieces

3. Vintage: mixing old and new 

4. Neutral Palette: this doesn't mean just 50 shades of white

5. Natural elements: think beyond fresh plants, though a good start. Think about materials found in nature: cotton, wood, marble.

6. Wall treatments: even homes a hundred years ago had vertical shiplap. Don't be afraid of dressing up your walls.
