10 Elements of Timeless Design
Within the realm of interior design, inspiration exists in many forms. Trends come and go. But the one thing that remains: certain timeless elements of design, style and expression have the ability to transcend both time and space, leaving an indelible mark on both the character and function of an interior. Ultimately, the goal of timeless design is not only to create a space that endures the test of time, but also communicates elements unique to each personality. In this blog, we highlight 10 elements of timeless design.
10. Fabrics
Certain fabrics, like leather or suede, have the ability to endure. While on the other hand, cotton or silk fabrics have a tendency to reveal their age over time. Fabrics can set the tone or blend in the background, but much like other elements of design, quality takes precedence.
You can find a selection of antique rugs on LoveAntiques.com from a range of styles and periods, adding a decorative rug can really help set the tone of your room.
9. Natural Resources
The use of natural resources like wood, marble, brick or stone, can evoke a timeless, comfortable feel in a space. Picture coming home to dark hardwood floors or ending the day with a free standing Phillip Stark bath.

6. Classic Patterns
Depending on the design goal, decorating with classic patterns can be as simple as making a colourful statement. Or on the other hand, consider making a bold statement by decorating with classic pieces like vases and other decorative ceramics. More widely, look to incorporate classic patterns without overpowering the interior.
