  1. Break Up Space

 The first thing to consider is how you will use the space you have. Having too much open space can be overwhelming for an everyday home and can discourage intimacy. Break up the space with smaller settings to invite conversation, create coziness, and allow for more use of décor.

  1. Consider Practicality

As amazing as some décor ideas are, they are not very practical. A timeless style combines with wow factor with functionality. For example, be wise in your placement of lighting so that it actually illuminates the areas that need light.

  1. Evoke Emotion

The purpose of interior design is to evoke emotion in those who are in the setting. A home with classic décor will help you, your family, and your guests feel emotionally comfortable and at peace. Choose colors, layouts, and pieces that radiate with positivity, such as feelings of acceptance, serenity, love, friendship, and joy. Your home will become a place people to return to for how it makes them feel.

  1. Search for Staying Power

To achieve a timeless style, search for décor that has staying power, meaning that it’s not trendy, cheap, or loud. Choose items that last long, go with everything, and are always in style. This usually means looking for simplicity and sophistication. You can even take the word “classic” in its historical sense and gain inspiration from ancient designs, such as Greek architecture.

  1. Use Traditional Colors

Neutrals are subdued and match everything, yet can still create a powerful and unique effect with the right usage. Remember that neutrals include more than just shades of black, white, and brown. They also comprise dark colors, such as forest green, and almost all shades of blue. Natural materials are also good choices for interior design that is relevant through the ages.

Establishing a timeless style doesn’t mean that you can’t use contemporary trends or custom pieces. In fact, those additions are what will make your home different than all the other ones with traditional décor. If you aren’t sure where to begin, start with the largest aspects of a room first (walls, floors, and such) and then focus on the accessories and smallest details.
