When it comes to creating a timeless interior, the choice of materials plays a vital role. While wall colours and furniture can easily be changed over time, the materials used for the finishing work are long-lasting and give structure to the identity of a space.
Choosing noble, durable materials
To ensure longevity over time, certain materials stand out for their longevity and timeless aesthetic appeal. Marble, for example, has stood the test of time and is still a must-have when it comes to enhancing interiors, particularly in Haussmann-style flats. Used for worktops or bathrooms, it creates a visual coherence with existing architectural elements, such as the fireplaces of yesteryear.
Similarly, the oak parquet floors, herringbone or herringbone, create a harmonious dialogue with the wood panelling in the contemporary kitchens and the modern skylights. This choice of materials strikes a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
Reinventing the history of the space
Adding wood or marble can give a soul back to interiors that have sometimes lost their identity through successive renovations. Antique floors, for example, bring a unique cachet and extra soul to spaces that lack character. Original materials can be used to recreate a sense of historical continuity while blending harmoniously with a contemporary vision.
Opt for modernity with waxed concrete
Waxed concrete provides a neutral, modular backdrop, ideal for those who like their decor to evolve over time. This coating allows you to play with styles and inspirations over time, while maintaining a sober, elegant aesthetic. It blends in perfectly with contemporary interiors, while remaining compatible with more classic touches.
The secret to designing a timeless interior lies in the careful choice of noble, durable materials that can withstand the test of time without losing their beauty. Marble, wood and waxed concrete are all options for creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing, while respecting the soul of the place.
