18 Apr Creating a Timeless Interior Space

Creating a timeless interior space is important as our surroundings can influence us either positively or negatively. Our home is a space where we relax and unwind after a long day at work, where we spend time with our family and friends and it’s even become an office space for some of us. This highlights the fact that your home should be a safe place, but also a place that inspires you.

1. One style

It is very important that you create uniformity in your home, meaning that you should choose one design style or at least similar design styles. This design tip is important as it allows for a similar mood and feel throughout your home.

2. Choosing your colour scheme

One of the best tips is to stick with colours that can be found in nature, in other words earthy tones. It is important to choose a neutral for your home and then to choose a colour palette that will compliment your main colour. If you like being bold with colours, you can bring in accent colours in a space through an accent wall, vases, chairs or scatter cushions.

3. Functionality of a space

Designing a space is not just about creating an aesthetically pleasing space, but also making sure that it is functional and well thought through. People often make the mistake of creating a dysfunctional and unpractical space, where people does not enjoy living in. For example, allowing for enough cupboard space, enough room for traffic and enclosed shelves.

4. Natural Light

Making use of and maximizing the natural lighting in a space is important as it gives life to a room. Lighting can make a room feel warmer or colder, which influences the way we feel in a space.  If you have the opportunity to choose the size of your windows for your home, choose the big option as it allows for more natural light.

5. Less clutter

Decluttering a space will give a room a simplistic feel. Creating the feeling of openness and simplicity, influences the individual to experience a relaxed and calm feeling.
