Our Tips for Timeless Design.
When it comes to selling property, there’s no denying that a timeless interior is quick to appeal to the masses of potential buyers, especially in Perth! Timeless interior design exudes a sense of sophistication and class, whilst creating a welcoming and homely environment which can be easily lived-in and enjoyed for many years to come.
If you’re looking to make some cosmetic improvements to your home prior to sale, we hope to share with you some of the key things to consider if you’re wanting to achieve that timeless and classic look.
Look to trends for inspiration.
Similarly to fashion, interior trends are quick to change and evolve but if you’re committed to achieving a timeless interior at your home, we suggest trying to turn a blind eye to the trends. Instead, focus on styles that last and those that you truly love.
Our advice around this is to be sure not to rush out to paint the walls in the latest Pantone colour way or to purchase trendy furniture, especially big ticket items like sofas and dining suites. Instead, consider modernising the space with some trend-focused art and decorative elements such as lamps, cushions and bedding. That way, regardless of the time period of your architecture or furnishings, your interior will always feel reflective of a modern style.
Stick it in neutral.
Neutrals are key to nailing the timeless look as a neutral palette simply never dates. Think beiges, greys and whites on repeat. But, if you’re worried styling with neutrals means boring, then we are here to tell you, you are wrong! There are so many ways to introduce texture and interest through different materials, finishes and shades which will keep the space captivating to the eye.
If you need to fall back on a pop of colour to add some depth and dimension, then we encourage a spot of navy blue, dark green or black. These colours are our go-to options to best complement a neutral palette.
