If it’s time to remodel your home, you may be excited to try out new design features and finally personalize your space. However, there’s a lot of options out there, and many trends that are popular right now may soon be on their way out. Just like those parachute pants quickly went out of style in the 80s, an overly trendy feature may date your home in just a year. At Corso Construction, we want you to enjoy your home for years to come – that’s why we’ve selected the top trendy features to avoid in your home remodel for a timeless, classic design.
Overly Bold Colors
Bold colors can create a dramatic, eye-catching effect that’s tempting if you’re in the mood for something different. However, these high-energy hues can lose their appeal fast, especially when you’re trying to redecorate and can’t find anything to match. Choosing a more neutral palette for large surfaces like walls, floors, and cabinetry allows flexibility for introducing color through décor, artwork, or smaller accents. If you just have to have bold colored walls, try a removable wallpaper or overlay that you can easily swap out later.
Too Much Smart Technology
Smart home technology may seem cool and futuristic now, but think of how many iPhones have come out in the past few years – how soon will it be until your smart home technology is outdated too? Integrating too much tech into your home can quickly make it feel outdated as technology rapidly evolves. Instead, opt for portable smart devices that can be easily upgraded and don’t require permanent alterations to your home.
Dark Cabinets
Dark colored kitchen cabinets can make for a bold, dramatic look, but it can be more difficult to decorate your space. Choosing a lighter color like white or natural wood will help to brighten your space, and make it easier for you to find pieces that match your vision. If you love a darker color palette, try a dark kitchen island or lower cabinets paired with lighter upper cabinets. This combination can still give your space that trendy edge without limiting your future design choices.
Trendy Flooring Options
Your home’s flooring is integral to your design scheme. Because flooring is consistent throughout your entire home, it will have a major impact on the finishes and colors that will look great in your space. Plus, your flooring needs to be durable enough to withstand constant foot traffic and heavy furniture. Many trendy flooring options look great at first, but they quickly become scratched and dented. Opting for something more resilient, such as hardwood or even vinyl plank flooring, will ensure that your floors stay beautiful and functional for years to come.
