What design trends are already tired?

[RenoQueen]

Hi everyone,

Keen to get your thoughts on the hot design trends that you are already sick and tired of. What do you think is already passe in home decorating?

[Isobel]

If you love something then it doesn't really matter if that particular style is "in" or "out". So I would just encourage people to make design decisions based on their taste and not be too driven to be following the latest on trend styles.

@Isobel, so true, you could say for example that Federation style homes peak in fashion from time to time, but if it's done properly, it will remain timelessly stylish.

I also agree that the things you love, are an investment in happiness, whereas trends tend to come & go, which inevitably leads to disappointment.

My Mum gave me the best advice, & that was to paint neutral, & change things up with moveable items, like cushions, nick nacks, & props. They can still be the height of fashion, but can be changed over inexpensively when it's time for a decor change.

I'm with @Isobel, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

...or in the case of @Andy_Mann, the beer-holder.

@Jackson, do I know you?

@Andy_Mann, I've read enough of your comments to work out that you love a tinnie

And that I'm crazy?

Oops, wrong thread.

@Andy_Mann I have both and I'm a huge fan. It's about the luxury more than the necessity. In fact when I redo my ensuite (next year some time) I'm considering extending the size of the room so we can have a freestanding bath in the middle and we'll maintain our double vanity/double shower (just fancier versions of them :P)

[Andy_Mann]

Sheesh @ProjectPete, who rattled your cage?

OK, I get it, you're miffed that I talked @Deanna outta wanting you for neighbour, but I wasn't born yesterday, you're just try'n to rev me up.

[ProjectPete]

Takes more than a difference of opinion to rattle me @Andy_Mann  It's all good fun

But yeah, I agree the double vanity/shower seems unnecessary, etc but it's bloody nice to have.

How amazing would it actually be for all of us to be neighbours though!?! Would be a very handy, stylish, ever changing, interesting little neighbourhood

[Andy_Mann]

@ProjectPete, I've always said that people should do what's good for them, & what gives them pleasure, so it's all good mate.

I must say, I like your idea of a Workshopper neighbourhood, but I ain't mov'n, so pack your things, & we'll kick it off.
