First of all try to stick to a muted color palette. With a restricted palette, colors are no longer the most important thing and are just a background for furnishings and the accessories which take center stage.
Another tip to achive timeless decor design is to arrange small pictures on a dresser. Small pictures look like visual noise on a wall, and they can pump up the personality of an otherwise ho-hum table. To unify a collection of photographs, use frames of the same material and size.
Moreover try to top carpeting with an area rug. Layering rugs, like layering clothes, adds texture, color, and dimension. For the best results, start with a tightly woven, low-pile carpet or sisal in a solid tone
Next, buy only functional furniture. As chic as that angular chair with a bucket seat looks in the magazine, don't buy something on which you can't comfortably sit. The same goes for coffee tables and shelves. Buy furniture that are meant to be used, not just admired from afar.
Furthermore, remember to cluster similar colors together. Colors from a single family blend effortlessly. Pick a color you like and stick with its variations. If you love blue, for example, paint walls and choose curtains in a navy color. Punch up the palette with a brighter sofa. Accessorize with a lilac patterned rug, cloudy prints featuring different shades of blue.
And last advice - remember about the flooring. Solid wood floors have been a popular addition throughout the home for many years and can perfectly complement a wide range of styles so they are for sure timeless.
