So lets get on with todays subject.If you've been following home design for any length of time, you've probably noticed that trends come and go faster than ever. One year everyone is painting everything gray. The next year gray is supposedly dead. Then we're told white kitchens are out, only to find thousands of beautiful white kitchens all over social media. My podcast on June 1st was on the white kitchen mystery.  I think in my opinion it was a very interesting podcast.So today, we're going to talk about why trends return, why some disappear just as quickly as they arrive, and how homeowners can avoid spending a fortune chasing design fads.Why Design Trends Repeat ThemselvesWhy Homeowners Get Excited About Old IdeasThe Social Media EffectRemember When Gray Was Everything?Farmhouse Style: The Rise and FallWhite Kitchens: Out of Style or Still Going StrongThe Danger of Chasing Every TrendWhat Actually Makes Something TimelessTrends That Have Survived DecadesTrends That Aged QuicklyWhy Personal Style Matters More Than TrendsHow Designers Balance Trends and TimelessnessLessons Homeowners Can LearnDesign trends come and go.
