Especially since the rise of social media, it seems like trends have a lifespan of about 30 seconds. One day everyone’s exclaiming about new thing “A,” and the next, it’s “You’ve gotta try new thing Z!” Fads are everywhere, from diets to exercise challenges to cooking hacks. At Treasure Coast Window Fashions here in Jensen Beach, we know that many of our customers are tired of interior design trends too and are looking for ways to just make their spaces their own. Luckily, we’ve got a few ideas for how to do that. Check them out below!
Making It Last
The main issue that people have with trends, no matter the form, is they often just don’t last that long. In interior design, trending colors can sometimes last only a year or even only a month or two. With new styles and trends popping almost daily, things can get overwhelming. For some things, that’s OK, but at a time when people are particularly minding their budgets, the focus is more on what will last over the long term versus what people are talking about right this second.
Using Antiques
Something that has already proven it’s able to stand the test of time is an antique. If you decorate with hand-me-down or inherited pieces, you’ll give your home a lived-in, comfortable look using something that’s not subject to today’s whims of trends. Antiques provide charm and character, as well as a certain storytelling cache. Using things that are proven to last, instead of things that might break in a year or two, is helping people redefine how they decorate their homes, and so they’re opting for more of the timeless patterns and colors from yesteryear.
Incorporating the Old
For many people, their home is their haven, and so they want the interior to reflect their own sense of self and value more than ever. However, many of our clients are unsure of how to incorporate older things, especially if what they already have is a more contemporary design. We recommend letting go of a traditional sense of design and focusing instead on making the home feel comfortable for you. Make it about you as a person instead of a trend other people might be following as well. That will help you see where to bring in that treasured piece of art or oil lamp your parents or grandparents once loved.
Window Treatments That Do the Work
You might be cheered to hear that a number of Hunter Douglas window fashions can stand the test of time. From the classic Vignette® Modern Roman Shades to the timeless Heritance® Wood Shutter, we can help you find a variety of window treatments that will coordinate with both the charm of antiques and the zest of eclectic pieces. Your best bet is to use neutral colors on the windows, to let other elements of a room stand out. Another option is to layer with drapery or side panels to create a cohesive look. Window treatments are versatile enough that you can get beyond the trends and create a space that you’ll be happy with for years.
