To combine many trends and styles can be an amazing play. It depends really on our taste, what we like and what not. This post is great, because it shows us how to make over our homes and flats into modern, stylish places with the something special. I like the idea to mix old and new, it looks very interesting. The first interior looks so sophisticated, chic and glamorous, just a gorgeous place for an elegant modern woman. Iâ€™m pretty sure that everybody can create place like this in his own home with a little bit fantasy.
Thank you for sharing.

Best regards,
Julie

[...] Design Dilemma: Timeless vs. Trendy Home Design Find Here’s some useful design thinking: “Timelessness, not trendiness, makes for sustainable design that need not change from year to year. But does timelessness mean tradition? Can you be timeless but cool and funky at the same time? And what is timelessness, anyway?” [...]

Ah, that would explain the slightly nauseated feeling I get when I walk into a commercial furniture store and all the 'rooms' are laid out like cookie-cutter sets.

The timeless approach makes a house a home. Great advice!

To add a tip, using variations of the same color within a room furthers that layered look, just as the green-gold pillows compliment the painting in the dark-walled room.

What a good, educational post today. I think many of my clients are afraid that I'm going to insist that they throw out all they have and design a room around my own esthetic. I always tell them that i can create good design in any style that THEY like. Your post really drives that important point home. I'm going to foward it on! Thanks for the great pics and important content.

Great information. Many times we get hung up on doing what's "in" now. The problem is you will need to change it every year if you attempt to do your whole room or home in the now TREND. This can get quite expensive. The advice in this article is perfect for addressing trends that can be quickly and inexpensively changed.

Great post!! In my experience a home is always a work in progress, growing and changing along with the people living in it. I moved in to my apartment ten years ago and although I have kept most of the original items, the style has evolved and it looks very different now.
