When you're furnishing your home, its sometimes hard to differentiate between following a current trend, and creating a timeless feel.
Interior design trends can act as a mirror, reflecting back our current tastes and feelings towards the world around us. It can be fascinating to see how current events and culture can affect what becomes popular.
But at the same time, it's also good to know what styles will be timeless, especially in interior design where you hope to maintain a look for years to come. So where does an antique gold finish or vintage full length mirror fit in?
Interior Design Trends
Authenticity has been a growing trend on social media for a while now. Long gone are the overly-edited, perfect photos or staged videos. Now people want to see something real.
In a similar vein, minimal and overly-clinical spaces are taking a back seat and making space for a wider range of style options. This covers everything from rustic kitchens to luxurious living rooms. More texture, more colour, more furniture as a focal point.
There are a number of trends circulating right now. Mosaic tiles, dark blue colour schemes, wooden furniture and tactile textures seem to be all over social media.
The Lived-in Look
More and more people are turning away from the clean, ultra-modern look and are choosing to find design elements that are more lived-in. This is a combination of a range of factors. A desire for comfort, a love of antique style finds and the environmental factor of buying something to last.
Quiet and Calming Spaces
Whether it's with colour choice, natural light or soft textile flourishes, there's a growing desire for calm and comforting spaces. There's a lot happening in the world right now and so it makes sense for people to want to create a safe and comforting living room or bedroom for them to return to. Reading nooks and soft spaces are common ways of bringing a sense of tranquility into day to day life.
The Luxurious Colour Gold
People are bringing a bit of luxury into their homes with the use of gold tones. Something like a gold vintage mirror can add a feeling of elegance to a room, whether it's a full length mirror as a statement piece or a wall mounted mirror to occupy a bare wall.
Are Antique Bronze or Gold Mirrors On Trend?
Absolutely. For example, the antique finish on the William Wood bronze and gold range adds a softened look that fits perfectly in calming and lived-in spaces. The Elise gold art deco mirror feels both vintage and luxurious, perfectly capturing what can be seen in interior design magazines and look books.
What Makes Something Timeless?
Searching for a truly classic style can be tricky, but the perfect piece should feel truly timeless. It's not necessarily about retro vs modern or bright vs dark, it's about flexibility. The key can be finding statement pieces that can be used in a variety of settings. This way, when you redecorate or move things around, they don't need to be replaced.
A well chosen mirror is an easy way to create a timeless feel in your home. Warmer bronze and gold tones can be styled in a range of settings, fit well against various paint colours and be the perfect decorative touch to many rooms.
