Timeless designs for your colorado home
When it comes to interior design on the Front Range, trends may come and go, but there are some design ideas that will always make the most of your uniquely beautiful setting. These design features will withstand the test of time, bringing enduring style to any space. Let's explore twelve interior design trends that make the most out of your Colorado home.
Make the Most of Your Views: Whether you’re looking up at Pikes Peak, or down from the mountains over the twinkling lights of town, you can’t beat the views in Colorado. Accent them with strategically placed furniture, large windows for wide vistas, and window treatments that complement what’s beyond.
Neutral Color Palettes: Classic neutrals like whites, creams, grays, and earth tones provide a timeless backdrop that can be easily updated with accessories and accents.
Timeless Furniture That Nods to the Architecture: Colorado has a broad variety of iconic architecture across its cities. Play up the style of your home with furniture designs such as the Eames Lounge Chair or a Victorian settee. They’ve stood the test of time and add sophistication and character to your space.
Natural Materials: Incorporating natural materials like wood, stone, and leather adds warmth and organic beauty to interiors. They can also be sourced locally across Colorado, making them a smartly sustainable option.
Indoor/Outdoor Living: Our temperate climate and almost total lack of pesky bugs makes Colorado the perfect place to maximize your indoor-to-outdoor functionality. Large sliding or telescoping doors that connect dining areas to an outdoor deck or patio, or a juliette balcony off the primary bedroom are optimal ways to take advantage of gorgeous Colorado evenings or a cool morning coffee.
Statement Lighting: Unique and eye-catching light fixtures serve as both functional and decorative elements, enhancing the overall aesthetic of a space. This is another opportunity to take advantage of natural and local materials.
Subtle Patterns: Timeless patterns like stripes, herringbone, and geometric designs add depth and visual interest without overpowering the space. Nod to our gorgeous nature with vinery or lightly floral patterns.
Minimalism: Embracing clean lines, simplicity, and a clutter-free environment creates a sense of calm and effortlessness in any interior.
Classic Artwork: Colorado has a rich artistic culture, both from past and present. Art that acknowledges our time-honored styles, whether it's a famous painting or a black-and-white photograph, add vibrance and local culture to a space.
Luxurious Fabrics: Plush velvets, soft linens, and rich silks never fail to evoke a sense of richness and comfort, no matter where you happen to live.
Well-Crafted Details: Adding or highlighting intricate molding, quality hardware, and thoughtful architectural details elevate the overall design and add a touch of elegance.
Indoor Greenery: Bringing Colorado’s nature indoors through plants and greenery brings life, freshness, and a timeless connection to the world just outside our doors.
While interior design trends may change, these twelve elements will always play up the unique beauty of your Colorado home. By taking advantage of our local materials and history and embracing classic elements with a hint of personal style, you can create a space that will always be as breathtaking as a sunset over the Front Range.
