9 Home Decor Trends That Would Never Go Out of Style!

Sick of redecorating your home every season?

It’s not easy to resist those seasonal interior décor trends with their popular colors and of-the-moment designs. But how can one possibly keep up?

The key is going for a classic and evergreen design trend that’s aesthetically pleasing, iconic, and unique in its own way!

Building a timeless foundation requires investing in some timeless décor pieces that would stay with you through emerging design trends and evolving tastes – like a set of iconic designer chairs, or an exquisite handmade Gabbeh rug. 

Want to know which décor themes and styles are likely to stay in trend for a lifetime?

Here’s the list:

1. The Layered Rug Trend

If you’re in for everlasting décor, note this down:

Rugs never go out of style. NEVER. 

Whether it’s an area rug, a handmade runner, or an oversized antique rug, it won’t ever appear outdated no matter how and where you place it. 

But … 

In case you want to style your rug in an eccentric manner that’s different from the usual rug placement techniques, go for rug layering. 

Not only do layered rugs look great, the style also allows you to hide any imperfections on any of your handmade rugs by partly covering it with another rug. 

Plus, the rug layering trend is here to stay. 

2. The Gallery Wall

We always need something to cover up those bare walls, especially when the rest of your décor is bleak and basic. 

While a large-scale wall art captures attention and creates a focal point, you may get bored with it over a certain time period. On the other hand, gallery walls are more versatile, interesting, can easily blend with various décor themes, and almost never go out of style. 

Simply take a collection of your best nostalgic photographs, buy a bunch of eclectic photo frames that are all different sizes and styles but have a similar outlook, and fill that plain wall with something that’s worth a stare. 

You can create a gallery wall in the entrance hallway, living room, bedroom, or even your study. It would always be ‘in’ throughout the emerging décor trends. 

3. Vintage Pieces and Antiques

Once a furniture or décor item reaches a certain age, its charm becomes eternal. 

Vintage and antiques would look as good 50 years in the future as they do today. They easily blend in with different décor themes and color combos, and would add a unique ‘trendy’ appeal to your overall décor, season in and season out. 

Plus, antiques are an investment since their value is likely to increase as years pass by. 

For instance, if you buy an antique handmade rug today, it can be sold for a significantly higher price after 20 years or so, given that the rug is still in a good condition and doesn’t have much wear and tear or ugly stains. 

4. Minimalistic Décor Styles

While unique furniture and characteristic décor styles appear interesting, minimalistic décor is still everyone’s favorite. 

It’s easy to create, manage, and maintain. Plus, going minimalistic allows you to keep your place de-cluttered, fresh, sleek, aesthetically appealing, and timeless. 

Apart from the fact that a minimalist theme would never look outdated, it can also help keep your stress levels in check. Studies show that people who live in messy spaces often suffer from high levels of stress hormone cortisol. On the other hand, open and clean spaces give off a sense of serenity, calmness, and peace. 

5. Neutral and Earthy Tones

A major feature of minimalistic décor styles – neutral tones and earthy hues that give off a fresh appeal. 

Colors such as beige, off-white, grey, and lighter shades of brown can help convert any tired interior setting into a strikingly appealing space that resonates and aura of modernity, simplicity, and elegance. 

Add in a crystal chandelier paired up with an exquisite handmade rug and you’d get the much-needed touch of magnificence as well. 

Note that a subtle color palette would keep things from appearing overwhelming even if the rest of your décor is a bit ‘outdone’, and the colors would always look good no matter the type of furniture you have or the décor style you’re following. 

6. Built-in Fireplaces

Fireplaces – everyone’s favorite! Especially during those chilly winter holidays when all you need is a bit of warmth, comfort, and cosines to remind you of childhood memories. 

Although certain designs of fireplaces may make your room appear a bit old and outdated, such as gold fireplace doors, the fireplace itself is a décor element that would always be in style. I repeat, ALWAYS. 

And it’s totally fine to have a fireplace that doesn’t work and is just for decorative purposes. The idea is to create a focal point that would add a touch of luxuriousness in spaces such as your living room, dining area, study, or a master bedroom. 

7. Stuff Made of Wicker

From a wicker chair in the patio, to a wicker bed, and decorative hanging light fixtures made of wicker, things woven out of this natural straw are more than just a trend. Decorating with handmade items such as this helps gives a sense of craftsmanship to the space and makes you feel closer to nature. 

Add some indoor plants and a jute rug to complete the look that can easily last for 3-4 years minimum. 

8. The ‘Exposed Brick’ Walls

Whether you’re going for minimalistic and clean décor or a modernly traditional look, the beauty of exposed brick can accentuate the interiors of your space with a touch of historical charm that isn’t likely to ever go out of style. 

Bring in a traditional Gabbeh rug or a modern carpet to add the finishing touches and rest back without worrying about having to change your décor style again the next year. 

9. Marble Flooring, Shelves, and Counters

Lastly, coming to the most timeless material that you can use in your home interior – marble.

Whether it’s the flooring, countertops, or tile accents, marble can be used in various ways, and is also available in a range of different colors and pattens.

It’s muted tone with intricate vein-like patterns works well with nearly all color themes and patterns. Also, it ‘s comparatively cheaper as compared to other flooring options such as tiles, which makes it a great choice if you’re on a tight budget. 

All in all, the trick to timeless décor is investing in timeless décor items and choosing timeless décor trends for creating a look that would always be in style!
