Symmetry, neutral shades, laconic furniture - we tell you about these and other features of the interior that will not go out of fashion over time.
1. "Eternal" style at the core
An interior that remains relevant for decades is based on the same universal timeless styles. For modern design, this is contemporary with elements of minimalism, for traditional design, a classic base. Specific styles such as boho, hi-tech, loft, and even Scandi can become boring over time, and their popularity will pass. Their elements can be added pointwise, but the stylistic basis must be timeless.
Neutral palette
Beige, gray, white, brown, and black are universal basic colors that will be relevant for decades. They go well with each other and with other, more complex, and saturated shades, so it is better to choose them for decoration and furniture. In addition, such a color set is relevant for any style: from Scandi and minimalism to classics.
Symmetry
Symmetrical interiors subconsciously seem more balanced, cozy, and safe to us. This principle can be implemented both at the planning level (for example, in the mirrored arrangement of upholstered furniture around the central axis or a bed with identical nightstands on the sides), and in details: an abstract plot of a painting, the arrangement of decor on shelves. And if you are decorating an interior in a classic style, then a symmetrical composition becomes a must.
Natural materials
Natural materials are not only a sign of good taste of the owners , but also a win-win choice for a space in any style. Wood, stone, linen and wool, leather were relevant 20 years ago and will be in the same amount of time. In addition, natural textures age beautifully, and do not fade and wear out over time, like plastic or synthetic fabrics.
Laconic furniture
Have you noticed what is the fastest to leave the list of trends? Items of specific shapes, decorated in a certain way, kitschy models with a wow effect or made of unusual materials. Such experiments are good as local accents that are easy to replace, but the main part of the furniture should be simple in shape, made of high-quality materials, with a minimum of decor - or none at all. Choose items so that they fit into the space and become an organic part of it. Such an environment will not become bad taste in 5-10 years and will not require replacement.
Art objects
Any art, be it antiques or works by contemporary artists, ceramists, sculptors, will never become outdated. And some works may become classics and valuable items for collectors in the future. In any case, add a few art objects to the interior to give it individuality. But it is better to refuse ready-made posters with popular themes: trendy designs quickly fill apartments and houses, which is why they quickly lose relevance.
A share of spontaneity
Decorating an interior outside of fast trends does not mean that it should be static and frozen like stone. The same furnishings over many years will definitely get boring, so leave room for spontaneity in the design. For example, change the decor and textiles to suit your mood or the season. Get several sets of curtains, decorative blankets and pillows for warm and cold seasons. And themed accessories can be changed even more often.
