KEYS TO TIMELESS INTERIOR DESIGN

Carrying out a refurbishment or remodelling of a space is a process that requires time and planning. Many variables need to be taken into account and a plan needs to be drawn up. Ideally, the layout and furniture should be functional and aesthetically pleasing. And the most important thing is that they are durable and the environment stands the test of time. For all this, today we want to give you all the keys to a timeless interior design.

At DESMON we have carried out many refurbishment projects in offices, offices and also in homes. Our experience has allowed us to know which are the best ideas for a timeless interior design.

It can be achieved in family homes, in small flats and also in offices and company premises. The key is moderation in the use of colours, materials and accessories. Saturation should always be avoided and colour and materials should be used in the right measure.

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty and find out the keys to timeless interior design.

Before we begin to unpack the ideas and tips, let’s define the topic at hand. Let’s start by pointing out the basic characteristics that define timeless design.

Timeless design is design that stands the test of time very well. Its main qualities are elegance and durability. These are spaces that do not go out of fashion and are never outdated.

Another interesting factor is that the people who live or work in such an environment never get tired of the decoration that surrounds them. If they want to make any changes, it will be enough to replace a piece of furniture and little else.

Timeless interior design is carried out regardless of trends and avoids defined styles.

It goes without saying that the ideal interior design should combine aesthetics, functionality and comfort. These are the basic pillars that are complemented by the comfort that the environment offers to the occupants.

In addition, it is worth bearing in mind that timeless design will always be more sustainable than any other. The reason is that spaces are planned so that their decoration lasts for a long time and it is not necessary to change pieces every season.

COLOUR RANGE

The first commandment to achieve a timeless interior design is to go for a neutral colour range. We are talking about white, light grey, beige, sand or soft tile.

On this colour palette, most pieces of furniture will fit in without any problems. From DESMON we always recommend avoiding excesses in terms of colours. However, you can include a darker tone in limited areas. For example, paint a dark wall or place a chest of drawers in charcoal grey or black.

If it is an office, light colours will always enhance luminosity and you will avoid dark corners where it is difficult to work. Neutral tones go unnoticed and make it easier to concentrate on the task at hand.

BASIC FURNITURE

When choosing furniture for a timeless interior design, always opt for pieces with simple lines. Whenever possible, use furniture with straight lines and avoid overly carved doors or drawers.

If it is a private home, there are a number of essential pieces of furniture: a bookcase, a coffee table, a sofa and a dining table. All of them should have a clean and simple design. In the bedrooms, we can opt for built-in wardrobes, straight headboards and simple drawer units.

As far as office furniture is concerned, you should always place functional pieces, with enough space to work and simple lines.

SOFA

The sofa deserves an exclusive mention among the furniture because it is one of the most important pieces of furniture in the living room area. To fit in with the timeless interior design you should look for a simple, uncluttered sofa.

We always advise you to opt for plain upholstery in a neutral tone. Again, white, beige or grey are very good choices.

The same applies to sofas in office reception areas. They should not be of an exaggerated size and can be accompanied by armchairs in a similar tone.

HIGHLIGHT PIECE

At DESMON, we always recommend to introduce a highlight in a timeless interior design. It can be an armchair, a lamp or a coffee table.

The idea is to place a piece that stands out from the rest. This can be thanks to its colour, its design or its shape.

FLOORING AND PAVING

The safe bet for the combination of flooring and timeless design is wood. Firstly because it stands the test of time very well and secondly because it always brings elegance.

In addition, wood is a noble material that invites comfort and seclusion. The warmth it offers is even more accentuated if a medium or soft tone is chosen. In this way, the brightness of the room is multiplied and the appearance of the floor is not tiring. You can opt for natural synthetic parquet or a material such as vinyl that imitates wood.

In an office, the option of raised access flooring is always interesting. It can be installed in a neutral tone and its layout facilitates the concealment of wiring and different pipes.

TEXTILES

For textiles we return to the ideas of the sofa. You can place cushions, plaids or covers but always in plain colours. Patterns go out of fashion very easily. A uniform tone with discreet textured decoration on the cushions is always an interesting alternative.

KITCHEN AND BATHROOM

If you want a timeless kitchen, go for white and wood. It is a neutral tone that multiplies the space and a material that offers a feeling of comfort and warmth.

Doors should be plain with no handles or grips. They can always be replaced by handles or “push” opening systems. Plain fronts are also ideal for enhancing that timeless interior design. In addition, they are always much easier to clean.

For the bathroom, DESMON recommends light-coloured tiles and furniture made of treated wood to combat humidity. A round mirror never goes out of fashion.

Surely, if we are talking about office bathrooms, the best bet are the phenolic sanitary cabins. They are made of a very hygienic and resistant material.
