09 Sep TRENDY VS TIMELESS…HOW TO BALANCE BOTH STYLES

Devonshire Custom Home’s knows first-hand Trendy vs Timeless…How to Balance Both Styles! Whether your style is contemporary, traditional, or modern, there are timeless design elements for you to incorporate to fit your taste.

First and foremost, feeling confident about your own personal design style is important! Plan your new custom home’s layout to meet your needs now and in the future. Your custom home builder will guide you throughout the planning process to help you design an elegant yet classic vision for your dream home! In terms of longevity, we recommend keeping larger parts of your home more classic and timeless. Think big ticket construction items (that are generally harder to change out down the road) i.e. exterior finishes, flooring, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, countertops, interior doors, trim work, appliances, etc. Including natural materials such as wood, stone, granite, and marble will give your home a sense of timelessness. Simplicity (less is more), neutral colors, and clean lines are often used throughout the home to complete a timeless look.

Second, understanding that trends go in and out of style will help you decide what “trends” you like. Think in terms of items such as: minimal décor, bold backsplashes, finishes, hardware, lighting fixtures, rugs, art, accent furniture, something old mixed with something new, etc. These pieces are easier to change out and replace (when you are ready for something different) …and you won’t be facing a large construction project with a hefty bill to go along with it!

Third, have fun! Don’t be afraid to plan some trendy design elements here and there, such as: trendy tile flooring in your laundry room or in a small bathroom, eye-catching floral wallpaper, curvy shaped furniture, multifunctional spaces/rooms, mixed metal interior design, black and white décor, earth tone colors, use real plants as décor, etc. These types of design projects can be taken on when you’re ready for a change and you want to redecorate.

Lastly, styles and trends are constantly evolving and changing. Finding the right balance for your style and taste is what’s important and part of the fun. Staying current, not faddish, is a good rule of thumb when it comes to your design selections, finishes and décor. When you are confident about your taste and style, you will love your custom home for years! No matter what style of home you prefer, there are classic design styles to fit your taste…and you can always balance it out with some current trends.
