\u201cThis can be used in so many different rooms of a home<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, no matter where you live.\u00a0Put one in the bedroom to hold clothes, in the entryway for odds and ends, or in the family room as a TV stand. It would look pretty with a lamp on top or just with some simple art and books stacked.\u201d \u2014Lindsay Atapattu,\u00a0LEB Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDining tables<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>hold many memories of family and friends sharing chats and good times. It\u2019s good to be able to pass it down the line. If you pick wisely, even the wear and tear that comes over time add to its beauty.\u201d \u2014Lucy Gleeson,\u00a0Lucy Gleeson Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen investing in home d\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/a>, I tend to ask myself one question: \u201cWill this be of use to me when it\u2019s not being displayed?\u201d A coffee table<\/strong><\/em><\/a> book collection, a\u00a0cashmere throw, or a set of crystal glasses, for example, are all items that provide both style and functionality.\u201d \u2014Kate DeWitt,\u00a0Kate DeWitt Design<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

04. Pieces With Meaning<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

\u201cA home is only timeless if its occupants continue to feel connected to it. For me, that means including something like a Biedermeier piece, which plays nicely in many contexts, from modern to Gustavian designs. I\u2019d also focus on timeless forms. For example, a Bentwood chair might have different finishes or upholstery selections, but the shape is classic. The same goes for\u00a0mid-century modern\u00a0pieces<\/strong><\/a><\/em> like a womb chair or a Platner. They\u2019re iconic, almost like the \u2018cool kids\u2019 that add automatic chicness and relevance to any room<\/a>.<\/strong> I have my grandmother\u2019s Knoll pieces that used to live in her super modern house, but they work just as well in my 1926 pre-war home.\u201d \u2014Zoe Feldman,\u00a0Zoe Feldman Design<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

05. Pewter Objects<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

\u201cAs much as I love my unlacquered brass,\u00a0pewter d\u00e9cor pieces<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u2014such as a frame or trophy\u2014certainly give off a\u00a0sophisticated\u00a0and timeless look. Dust off those old trophies (or source some on Etsy) and place them on a shelf. Not only do they look fab forever, but they tell a great story.\u201d \u2014Kelly Walsh,\u00a0Novel Abode<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

06. Nude Artwork<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe human\u00a0form is beautiful to contemplate. These pieces are sensual and provocative\u00a0as well as innocent.\u00a0I\u2019ve acquired several over the years and display them prominently in my home.\u00a0They have been celebrated and revered since antiquity and especially during the Renaissance.\u00a0Remarkably talented artists such as Michelangelo carved and painted such beautiful human\u00a0forms that are admired in museums all over the\u00a0world still today.\u201d \u2014Antoinette Allande Anderson,\u00a0Antoinette Allande Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

07. Custom Window Treatments<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

\u201cWhen you can, always invest in\u00a0custom window treatments. It\u2019s worth finding a local expert and having special window treatments that are tailored specifically to your space. Whether it\u2019s a roman shade or drapery, having the proper lining for the function of the room<\/strong><\/a>, as well as a fabulous fabric and proper measurements really make a room come to life!\u201d \u2014Liz Goldberg,\u00a0CAROLYNLEONA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I look around my own home, I love seeing\u00a0books. I have them everywhere: on my\u00a0coffee table<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, media unit, foyer table. There\u2019s something about them that tells a story about the people who live in the home, and they add soul. I purchase every interior design book<\/strong> <\/a>that comes out, so for me, it\u2019s not really a d\u00e9cor item, as I read through them for inspiration again and again. Just remember to take the sometimes colorful jackets off to reveal a more muted and stylish cover.\u201d \u2014Vanessa Francis,\u00a0Vanessa Francis Interior Design<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

09. An Area Rug<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

\u201cAn\u00a0area rug<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the foundation for a room\u2019s design. In many cases, I select the rug first and then build the room from there. I love a good vintage Moroccan rug and find them to be versatile with a variety\u00a0of styles. If you\u2019re on a budget, investing in a smaller vintage rug and layering it on top of a larger sisal rug is always a timeless look.\u201d \u2014Elyse Petrella,\u00a0Elyse Petrella Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

10. Artwork<\/h3>\n

\u201cIn my opinion,\u00a0art\u00a0is the most timeless d\u00e9cor piece I advise my clients to invest in. It\u2019s so personal, and truly is \u2018in the eye of the beholder.\u2019 I teach my clients the importance of buying art that speaks to them, not necessarily what\u2019s trending. Art speaks to our personalities and literally gives character to differentiate a space, giving each space it occupies a true soul. Over the years, it can be easily transferred and stand the test of time by being re-framed to keep up with your ever-evolving styles or move from space to space.\u201d \u2014Jade McNeil,\u00a0Jade McNeil Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

11. Professional Framing<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

\u201cGetting your art\u00a0professionally framed\u00a0is worth the investment. When done by a pro, your art is better protected from its environment and stands the test of time. Custom frames are also a unique way to add personality to a space and highlight the art you love.\u201d \u2014Djalna McSween,\u00a0Djalna McSween Interiors<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
