Choose Quality

Curating a classic, lived-in vibe using the right colors, materials, styles, and products is a surefire recipe for lasting elegance and sophistication. Above all, begin with quality products that will stand the test of time.

Bathroom faucets with clean lines, such as the Riff® bathroom faucet, offer a subtle nod to traditional detailing never goes out of style

Mixing finishes can give a space a comforting lived-in appeal.

Blend Classic & Contemporary

One of the best ways to create a space that defies easy definition is by layering elements from both traditional and modern design style—an ornate, intricately detailed faucet sitting atop a minimalist vanity, for instance. Or maybe opt for a simple lighting collection to balance the intricate scroll work of an antique piece of furniture. Bonus points if the classic elements have personal sentimental value.

Let It Breathe

One of the trickier parts of creating a timeless space is preventing it from feeling overcrowded. Because you’re blending elements from different style aesthetics, it’s easy for the space to feel cluttered or haphazard. Choose your elements carefully and leave plenty of open space for the room to breathe.

A freestanding bath naturally creates a feeling of openness in a room.

Let Nature Inspire You

Look to the materials used in the early part of the twentieth century—stone, brick, tile, wood, and cast iron—natural materials that are durable and develop a character that improves with time. Enameled cast iron baths and sinks offer an unmistakable charm and presence that is right at home in any space. Avoid materials that don’t age well, like poorly manufactured synthetics or quick-fix products with short life expectancies.

Choose Comfort

Creating a timeless look is all about crafting a space that feels like an extension of yourself. It should feel natural, comfortable, and functional for your style—and your lifestyle. As such, there really is no one-size-fits-all rulebook for timeless design. If it feels right, it is right. Stay true to yourself and you can’t go wrong.

Above all, your timeless space should feel comfortable.

Bridge faucets offer a classic look.

Vibrant® Brushed Moderne Brass is always alluring.

Build on Your Foundation

The beauty of creating a timeless space is that it’s easy to swap elements without losing the core aesthetic. When you have a design that isn’t pigeonholed to any given era or trend, you can always make updates as your personal tastes evolve. Feel free to play a little. Have some fun. Freestanding baths—at one time the only type of bath—always bring forth a nostalgia that works perfectly with contemporary design cues like clean lines and simple forms.
