Not seeing any of those being built these days, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with anything else, there are trends in real estate, and here are the ones we\u2019re leaving behind in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shiplap:<\/strong> Okay, Chip and Jojo got us all amped up on the wooden walls. They were beautiful. They were different. But now they\u2019re everywhere, and I need a minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Signs and Word Art:<\/strong> For the love of all the sayings, can we leave this one behind?? I mean, do you know how many homes I\u2019ve shown and seen \u201cAlways Kiss Me Goodnight\u201d over the bed? Not a bad request or personal ideal, but do we have to have it on our walls? (Side note: If you\u2019ve ever been to our lake house, you\u2019re about to call me out on this. We have at least 50 signs with slogans and sayings. They\u2019re literally everywhere. I apologize for the hypocrisy, but they have to remain.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All Gray Interiors:<\/strong> Hallelujah! Listen, I love me some Sherwin Williams Crushed Ice and Agreeable Grey, but have you seen Canvas Tan? It\u2019s so nice to see some browns coming into the mix, and perhaps, dare I say . . . COLOR!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accent Walls:<\/strong> They can make rooms look awkward and unfinished instead of feeling harmonious.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One Metal Tone:<\/strong> Mix it up, people! We\u2019re loving seeing how people can blend golds and silvers for a cohesive AND interesting look. I\u2019m not saying to mix your cabinet handles and pulls in one room, but you might have chrome in a bathroom and black in the kitchen, and we love that!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Barn Doors in Private Spaces:<\/strong> Hear me out. I love barn doors. They\u2019re fun and different and can double as art. However, a barn door in a bathroom or bedroom is a no-go. Please, don\u2019t.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Two-level Islands:<\/strong> You know what I mean. It\u2019s an island with a raised part for eating\/service. I\u2019m watching more and more homebuyers dismantle the raised part to have one level to prep\/cook\/serve space. (Also note, my mom added a raised section to her island, so . . . \u00a0to each their own!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boring Walls and Ceilings:<\/strong> I\u2019m seeing so much texture on walls and ceilings these days. (This is different from #4 above, and also popcorn ceilings are still out.) Wallpaper on walls and ceilings. Painted ceilings. Upholstered walls. Have fun! Add some color!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, a few final thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I\u2019m not a designer. These are 100% my opinions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are some \u201ctrends\u201d that will stick around because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. (Those that love shag carpet . . . no judgment . . . it was a trend, now it\u2019s a vibe.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about you? What design trends are you over?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TREND&nbsp;noun&nbsp;1. a general direction in which something is developing or changing.
