During these tough economic times, nobody can afford to be re-desgining their home every year.  I believe that the key to staying in love with your home year after year, is to design each room timelessly and not trendy.  It’s easy to get caught up in the trends and design rooms with what is currently cool.  But if you design your rooms with things that have always been cool, and always will be cool, you can enjoy your spaces for years to come, which in turn, will save moola.  By using pieces that have been around for centuries and incoporating them in different ways, it will make your room timeless.  Swapping out throw pillows or paint is easy, but buying all new furniture is not.  Here are 4 rooms that are using 4 timeless chair designs that look very “now” to me, and will probably still be relevant in another decade or two. 

Timeless Klismos chair. The room is modernized by the chairs bright color, as well as the amazing art installation.

Timeless Windsor chair. The room is modernized by the country chic color palette and the beautifully accessorized hutch.

Timeless Chinese Chippendale chair. The room is modernized with the light fixture, bold window treatments, and vibrant window seat upholstery.

Timeless Queen Anne chair. The room is modernized by painting and upholstering each chair in a different color.
