Keep your design timeless
To create a look that truly stands the test of time (meaning that you don’t have to hit the design reset button every five or so years), Andrews recommends combining the contemporary with the vintage.
“Choose iconic designs and pieces that are recognizable. Have a good blend of styles to make it interesting. Things that are more contemporary, a couple things that are vintage, and maybe something meaningful like a family heirloom,” he said.
If you decide to follow a trend and fail to incorporate any pieces to ground the design scheme than you’re likely to have to reevaluate that trend in a few years’ time.
