Dos and Don’ts of Home Trends

Here are a few things to look out for when considering home trends:

• Avoid trends that require major structural changes or construction merely for aesthetic purposes
• The overuse of bright, bold colors occasionally comes into fashion but will almost certainly go out just as quickly
• Unless it’s just a minor expense, stay away from trends that you just don’t “get” because there’s a decent chance that you’ll implement it incorrectly or miss the height of its popularity and not even realize it
• Even if it’s popular, watch out for trends that will be difficult for future homeowners to undo; potential buyers might see your trendy changes and start wondering how much it will cost to change them, and that could potentially spoil the sale

Basically, trends can be fun. Think twice about them though if they’re going to be too expensive, create too many headaches for future homeowners, or are likely to come across as garish or ugly.
