What comes to your mind when you think about classic home décor design elements that have been consistently used but still feel fresh? We are talking about specific design themes that seem to return repeatedly; they never go out of style. So the next time you consider redecorating your house, here are some perennial items to invest in and may be worthwhile investments for your home.

  • Organic materials & sustainable furniture pieces: When you’re looking to refresh your living room or bedroom textiles, keep an eye out for natural, sustainable materials, like linen, wool etc. These materials are long-lasting and ideal for things like rugs, throws, pillow covers, and bedding. It’s not surprising that timeless interior design often uses natural, sustainable materials in furniture like stone, wood, and jute. Natural elements are prime to creating a cosy and completed space.
  • Artwork galore: Large scale framed pieces of art hung at eye level can do wonders to upgrade the aesthetics of your space. Sticking to time-honoured styles of art can also keep your room from looking prematurely outdated. The key to making artwork become a classic is to make sure you choose pieces that reflect your personality or your family’s personality. To help connect the artwork with the interior, use complementary colours. Even consider how the medium of the artwork impacts your space.
  • Layered Rugs: Layered rugs help define a space and add colour and pattern to brighten everything up. They serve as an anchor to the room, help determine seating areas, and provide a soft and comfy cushion for your feet. Additionally, they help to visually warm the space and make everything feel nice and cosy.
