How to create a timeless space?

Designing a home is fulfilling a dream. It requires an investment of money, time, patience and trust in the person who will carry it out. That is why, being a special process, we look for the result to be unique and free from passing trends. In other words, to be timeless. Timelessness not only means not losing validity, but also allowing spaces to be versatile. 


We can divide the process into two parts to achieve a design that stands out without blindly following trends. First, follow the basic rules. This means adhering to the general guidelines for creating a functional design: an ideal distribution of space, clear circulation and adaptation to the client's needs. This applies to all projects, without exception.


Once the base has been established and the client has been studied, we work from the general to the particular. We start choosing materials and finishes for the most prominent elements in terms of proportion. It is crucial that textures complement each other, and that the amount of color or the presence of neutral tones has a purpose. It is not about focusing on a single piece of furniture or piece; it is about creating harmony and balance among all the elements. In this way, a unique and authentic language is achieved. The key to design that lasts beyond fashions is to know how to mix: take advantage of or renew the existing, find that piece of furniture that we always dreamed of having, make comfortable chairs for long tables and incorporate, why not, the trend color in some detail.


As interior designers, our job is to combine elements from stores, antiques, heirlooms and custom pieces to merge design with the user. A timeless design allows the space to evolve over time; small tweaks and renovations can maintain its essence while we adapt it to new trends. 


The main goal in creating a space is for it to reflect something about the people who live in it. That component is valuable and essential to achieve timelessness.
