Layout & Design
Layout & Design
Be respective of the style of property you are designing within – consider scale, proportions, and functionality. Simplicity is critical to creating a result that is pleasing to the eye and a pleasure to use. If something is well designed, then it is easy to make it look good.
Referencing traditional details like a Belfast sink or Antique dresser, whilst using contemporary materials, can be a great way to create a timeless look.

Colours & Textures
Colours & Textures
The last thing you want is a bland space. Select heritage colours for furniture and walls, and combine these with natural materials such as marble, stone, or wood. Create contrast to ensure balance and depth. Fluted or ribbed glass is a great way to introduce texture, whist diffusing light, creating softness.
Mixing materials and even introducing antique or reclaimed pieces can be truly timeless.

Quality Materials
Quality Materials
It is important to select materials that are great quality and enduring, as our homes have to be robust and practical to stand the wear of time. Consider furniture with quality mechanisms such as soft close drawers and hinges. Understand the surface material and how to maintain them to keep them looking great.
Appliances can have a huge variation in price, don’t be afraid to mix brands to optimise the functionality of your kitchen. A good designer will want to find out how you cook and advise you on what is available, allowing you to make informed decisions.
You really do get what you pay for when it comes to materials and appliances.

Lighting
Lighting
Lighting is an important part of any interior, especially in a functional space like a kitchen or bathroom where they are being used at different times of the day. Consider ambient or general lighting to fill the space, with a dimmer switch to help to control the overall level of light.
Consider task lights, for areas where you prepare food or apply makeup, accent light to highlight features and texture, and decorative lights to add character in the form of pendant lights, wall lights or chandeliers.

Ultimately when investing in your home, sustainability should be a conscious factor. Poor quality materials and following trends that can date is not sustainable. Timeless design transcends fashion and trends, quality material and appliances ensure longevity.
