Design Trends Versus Timeless Appeal

The big challenge is to decipher the trends and ideas presented and how they respond to how we live here in Australia. It is challenging for most people to try and interpret all the different design trends that are constantly presented through the media. Luxurious loungerooms, bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor patios looking over spectacular views with oodles of space without a single element out of place.

So, what do you need to think about before you order that amazing Italian lounge or fall in love with the beautiful mosaic tiles on trend from Italy so that it will have timeless appeal and practicability.

Macro and micro trends

Trends can be divided into macro and micro. Macro trends being aspirations of how we want to live in our homes and lifestyle choices. Micro trends are more seasonal colour and shape.

The Pandemic has challenged designers and manufacturers to think past the aesthetics to redesign surfaces and finishes that are mycobacterial and sustainable. Sustainability is a key factor in choosing what lounge or kitchen design is going to be right for you now and into the future.

The design, function and ethical principals should be considered before embarking on the purchase.

Rounded shapes are a favourable trend as the whole world struggles with the adversities we are faced with.

Curves create soft lines, “a reassuring hug for a safe space that we can relax and call home”.

Finding the balance between design trends versus timeless appeal

Ultimately, finding the balance between going all-out with an on-trend look and sticking to a timeless aesthetic is what Brilliant Design Concepts would recommend.

Using timeless key pieces, while adding trends-based accessories and art, is an effective way to transcend into the future.
