Timeless remodeling upgrades that won’t go out of style.

Have you ever been up in your parents attic, cleaning it out, and come across a box of their old clothes? Staring into this cache of outdated fashion, you spot bell bottom jeans and suede, everything. So you ask your folks “why do you still have this?” and they answer “It’ll come back in style, just you wait.” Well like most parents, of course they’re right (Thanks Hipsters). However this fortunately isn’t the case when it comes to home improvement upgrades.

While fashion trends tend to revolve around the decades like a tether ball, architectural trends press head-on into the future while rarely looking back. Do we really want to go back to refrigerators with car door latch and strike handles in 2023? The sleek and modern design is to be handle-less, some are designed to blend into the wall!

Not to say vintage won’t have it’s market, it always will. Personally, I’m a photographer that loves to shoot on film as a hobby, what an insane and pretentious thing to do in 2023. But, home renovations are not meant to be a hobby to the average person. Remodeling is supposed to be a lifestyle change to your home that will last for decades to come! So if your remodel is meant to last, shouldn’t your design choices withstand the test of time? Let’s break down some Timeless upgrades you can make on your next home project.

Timeless Trends for your home

There are plenty of different things you can add to ensure your remodel is timeless. However I want to Focus on just a few of the main things to keep an eye out for.

Neutral Colors

Without a doubt the biggest way to keep your home timeless is to keep it simple! When it comes to any rooms color palette, neutral colors always stay in style. For a timeless look, earth-tones, greys and whites are your best friend. White features with black accents, for example white tile and black grout lines will never go out of style and are a safe bet for longevity in your home. Layer your colors with wood floors, stainless appliances, and stone to add visual texture. And for that pop of color use the furniture or other accents that are exchangeable to give that “trendier” feel. Having accents thrown in will ensure your neutral color palette won’t fall flat.

Symmetry/Clean Lines

When it comes to timeless styles, clean and symmetrical lines will age with more grace then embellished lines. This goes for more than actual lines, from the cabinets to the trim to the floorplan, our brains find satisfaction in symmetry. For example, choosing a timeless color and style for your cabinetry, like white, simple shaker cabinets will never look outdated, whereas cabinetry with glazing and a lot of detail will trend in and out of style.

Natural Finishes

Natural finishes refer to the hard surfaces you select to use in your renovation; Your tiles, floors, benchtops, shelves etc. Think about the earth. If it comes directly from the earth or mimics a natural product you will be on the right track. Natural stone such as marble and granite are beautiful products to give you an earthy natural finish that aligns with timeless selections.

Less Is More

It is hard not to throw in every beautiful element you see when planning your remodel. It is important to remember that a minimalist style is one that never fades. Creating a space free of clutter and utilizing the storage space creates a feeling of tranquil solitude that a home should broadcast.

Timeless Shower
