Designing based on trends- is it worth it?

We all see them everytime we turn on a home rennovation show like Chip and Joanna Gainnes - Style trends and homes and kitchens that are based on trends. Kitchens in the 50’s and 60's were known for colorful linoleum and slab doors. Quirky colors and aesthetics that still has some charm and nostolgia. The 70's and 80's saw a simpler more rustic vibe with their knotty oak cabinets and their honey glazing- which did carry over into later trends, believe it or not. The 90's still held close to those stained wood cabinets but would incorporated things like wallpaper and themes such as apples or chickens- it was all in the decorating and knick knack back then. Then in the 2000's we saw the rise in the versatile white kitchen. Shaker doors, clean lines, white paint, and stainless appliances. It's easy and arguably- timeless. The 2010's had a small pop of color with two toned kitchens and the 2020's loving green islands and bases. So now its 2026 and you're watching HGTV thinking you want to redo your kitchen but you're not sure what to do. You see that oak is coming back into style but you're not sure if that's your style and what if you decide to sell this house in the next few years? What if this isn't the forever home you thought it was going to be and you don't want to struggle to sell it because the aesthetic of the kitchen is now dated and off trend. So what do you do? In our opinion; do what makes you happy.

Trends come and go so much that making something that 100% avoids being dated in the future is practically impossible. When you come into our showroom we will work with you and your home to design a kitchen or bathroom that makes sense for the space, your aesthetic and your budget. Ultimately our goal is to make you happy. We want you to remember that rennovation shows are designed to make you want what they have and to be the most entertaining, not necesarily the most logical for the average home owner.
