While trends come and go, there are certain elements in home design that never go out of style. Sticking with these classic choices is the best way to keep your home decor looking elegant and up-to-date, no matter the decade.
If you’re looking to make over your home and want the end result to look modern for years to come, it’s worth considering these timeless decorating elements.
Marble Fireplaces
We’ve seen all sorts of fireplace trends over the years, and some (we’re talking carved wood and garish tile patterns) are starting to show their age. 
But marble fireplaces have been around for decades and still look elegant and modern in just about any home. With its smooth texture and neutral coloring, marble makes a statement without being overpowering. So if you’re considering installing or updating a fireplace, keep in mind that marble is a timeless choice that never goes out of style.
Neutral Paint Colors
How many wall color trends have we seen come and go over the decades? We’ve had accent walls, various bold color combinations, and all kinds of wallpaper patterns. But one thing has remained consistently on-trend, and that’s neutral wall coloring.
Painting your walls with neutral colors is a decorating safe bet. Go for soft whites, creamy greys, and warm beiges as a beautiful backdrop for almost any furniture arrangement and decor style. Decorating with a neutral palette means you can ensure your home is always versatile and warm.
Hardwood Floors
Moving on to flooring, there’s nothing that quite matches up to the classic beauty of hardwood floors. Wood styles like walnut, oak, and other natural finishes are timeless, making them well worth the extra investment.
Hardwood flooring is versatile and easy to update with today’s rugs and furnishings. So if you’re moving into a property with old hardwood floor, don’t rip it out! The simple beauty of wood will ensure your floors will look great for years to come. Rather than switching out your flooring, you can swap rugs and decor items if you think you need an update.
Built-Ins
Custom built-in shelving is a functional element that’s far less likely to age than a physical wardrobe or set of drawers. Built-ins blend nicely in with a room’s design and are often more practical and convenient than standing units because they can be floor-to-ceiling, so no space is wasted. 
If you want your rooms to have a classic look, with furniture that feels built-in, not tacked on, custom shelving is the way to go. There are so many ways to showcase built-ins, from bookshelves built into the side of your staircase to a cupboard converted into a study nook.
Takeaway
Focusing on classic design elements will help you create a home that’s beautiful and welcoming for years to come.
Investing in traditional decor is a smart move, meaning you won’t have to spend unnecessary money renovating your home every year, and making your home ready to move into if you ever decide to sell.
