Every year, the anticipation for the latest interior design trends build up. However, this time, we're shifting the spotlight from "trend" and embracing elements of historical design that craft timeless interiors. Keeping this in mind, let’s determine which elements of design will capture your “vibe”, while promising to keep it fresh for years to come!

Neutral and Natural:

Like in nature, our environment is constructed by layering warm earthy colours, textures and natural silhouettes to create a thoughtful and comfortable space. By using materials like wood, stone and tactile textures, your space will effortlessly feel soulful, restful and welcoming.

Tip: Look outside for inspiration - what is the landscape of your environment? You may live on the water, in the city or surrounded by foliage. No matter where you are, focus on a surrounding element you love and pull inspiration from that.

Classically Bold:

Embrace bold saturated colours and unique ornamental elements of historical architecture & design, furniture and decor. Turn towards enhancing classic elements like moldings, decorative trim, arched openings and decorative ceilings. Help these features “pop” through the use of bold paint colours and design elements with a vintage flair.

Tip: When you're choosing those final decor pieces, look for furniture with unique elements like carved wood frames, woven elements and decorative hardware. Add a vintage rug or fabric accent that can add colour contrast and a quirky flair.

Tailor Made Homes:

Embrace your space and get it working for you! Over the last few years we have all started to re-evaluate how our homes function to be more purposeful in our everyday life. We need a space that can flex for work, play and family time. Determine your needs by assessing what you do in each space on a regular basis, who else uses the space and if they have similar needs. Don’t be afraid to create a combinated space that can serve multiple purposes and dedicate areas to our hobbies.

Preserve and Re-purpose:

Thoughtful renovation at its finest, embrace and highlight historical elements while strategically enhancing design and improving flow and functionality of the space.

Assess and prioritize improvements by what needs to be updated and what minor changes can help the space better reflect your personal style. Embrace your home's unique features and play into these elements with thoughtful design choices.

Classical Craftsmanship:

Take the time to create a space that sets the foundation for a timeless home from the architectural details to the quality of finishes and furniture. Every element of this space should feel as if it can stand the test of time. This design style says “goodbye” to fast fashion interiors and trending design decisions and “hello” to investing in what matters and serves a long term purpose in your home.

Tip: Make design choices that offer longevity like solid wood, natural stone, solid metals and natural fibers and invest in the highest quality craftsmanship you can. When it comes to your home, think quality over quantity.
