Live in any house for a period of time, and, however meticulous you thought you had been in making 'timeless' design choices, there will come a stage when you look around and realize there are areas that have started to look a little passé.
In my own home, I have become increasingly aware, mainly due to the nature of my job, that there are definitely elements that have not withstood the passing of the years as well as I might have hoped. Not necessarily in the way in which they have physically worn, but more when it comes to how 'of-the-moment' they look. I'll admit that I'll always choose a more classic (some might say safer) look to something too 'out there' in terms of the latest trends, but even parts of my house that I chose because I thought they had enduring appeal at the outset have begun to look dated now.
