Design Trends – Love ’em or Leave em?
Because I’m often asked about design trends…the “latest colors,” “what’s next,” and what I think about it all…I can say that the idea and concept of “trends” is here to stay–but the actual “Trends” are, well, transitory. There are many reasons for this , and as a former member of the notable Color Marketing Group, I did learn a lot about that fascinating aspect of design, and color design in particular. So, personally, while I enjoy seeing what is the latest thing, it is really about selling products, so in some ways, as a fad they will change often. Our lives move so fast, so one question we can ask ourselves when considering color choices for our homes is about how often we want to be making changes to keep up with the latest thing! How important is it? The answer is different–and equally valid–for each individual.
In terms of creating our personal best living spaces, consideration of how we feel and what our goals are for a space are the main focus to achieve the best results in the long run. If that includes some “trend colors,” that’s fine. Of course, accessorizing your space is a great way to include some of these very appealing, fashion-conscious colors in way that’s easy to change now and then.
