Timeless Design

Timeless Design

The term is so over-used that it’s meaning describes very little. Design in general, be it automobiles, homes, interiors, buildings, furniture, hair styles and many other elements in our lives, give us cues as to a time and place in which they were imagined.

1. Classical proportions

The Golden Ratio was named by the ancient Greeks. It is also known as the Golden Mean and the golden Triangle. Without going into a lot of math, I’ll simply say it is a visually pleasing and physically comfortable proportion for floor plans and wall design.

2. Simplicity

Simple lines and open floor plans are pleasing and create a functional space. Less-is-more becomes elegant.

3. Durability

Good material choices last for decades or centuries.

4.  Adaptability

Timeless design can be updated without sacrificing the original intent. Homes can be renovated for Universal Design and additions easily created with the same proportions.

5. Less expense

Trendy design must be updated and changed out as soon as the trend fades. As I stated above, exotic materials and staying up to date with the latest trends costs money. Timeless design has a base that is updated with accents. This is less expensive.
