Summary
We all want a timeless look that will look fantastic for a long time, so today let's talk about what you can do to create a look that transcends time.
One of the best tips is to avoid trends that can date your home. If something is super hot and super popular today, it probably won't stand the test of time.
We suggest you hone your very own signature style that you love. Then you buy things that are you, rather than things that are 'on trend'. This is change in mindset that helps keep your style more classic and less trendy.
Listen in for many more tips for a timeless look.

| 0:00.0 | Can we date you? |
| 0:09.4 | Hey everybody. I'm Kelly Wilkins and I am here with Anita Joyce and this is decorating |
| 0:14.2 | tips and tricks. So today we're going to be talking about how you can create a truly |
| 0:19.4 | timeless room. And it really isn't that difficult. But if you |
| 0:24.9 | keep our tips and advice in mind, we think that you can transform any room into a timeless |
| 0:30.9 | room or nod your head in agreement that you already have a timeless room. So there are really not too many rules to follow with regard |
| 0:41.3 | to creating this timeless look. And it is so worth the effort. I think so. It really is so |
| 0:49.9 | wonderful to have a look that transcends time. And if you have a room like this, it's going to be in |
| 0:56.1 | pretty good shape for the long haul. And you're not going to be having to make wholesale changes |
| 1:00.7 | to it very frequently. So I think there's value in that. And then it's worth investing in some |
| 1:06.8 | pieces if you're going to be able to keep the look for a while. But if it's really not timeless, |
| 1:13.1 | then, you know, that money may not be coming back. It may not be a great investment to be |
| 1:18.3 | spending money on something that's only going to be good for a few years. Exactly. So what is a |

| 1:34.8 | to add to that, Anita? I think that's pretty good. And I would say it's not trendy. |
| 1:41.6 | Yeah. It's not, it's not meaning a timeless room, you can't, you can't look at it and say that's so 1995 or that's so |
| 1:54.7 | 2019. |
| 1:57.7 | Hence our teaser for the intro today, can we date you? |
| 2:02.3 | Of course, we'd love to go out and have dinner with you guys. |
| 2:04.6 | But we don't mean date you. |
