A forever piece is a forever piece no matter what the naysayers say. So whether you maintain that you will always love that vintage avocado green sofa you thrifted or you relish the opportunity to try something new, it’s always a bit of fun to look back at what trends are considered totally out of touch today. “We are keeping what we want and toning down the specifics of style categories.” “Specific style types are beginning to meld rather than leave,” she says. And in fact, clear-cut style categories might come to an end, as nowadays we’re muddying the waters on what is “in” or not, according to York Wallcoverings trend and color expert Carol Miller.
It’s almost unbelievable some of these interior design trends actually took off (think word art and bathroom carpet), while others are timeless classics that will surely resurface in new and interesting ways. That said, some fads should be just that-passing. However, to dismiss the whims of passing fads is to overlook the value of turning things on their head every now and again. It wasn’t long after Kent and I were married that we started eye-ing the bright mustard yellow A-frame cottage right next door to them.Trends come and go, but style is eternal-so the saying goes. My three siblings and I try to get up north with our families to visit every chance we get, but that can make it crowded at mom and dad’s especially on big summer holiday weekends. Once my parents were empty nesters, they actually bought their own three bedroom modular home on a river, with a secondary pole barn that also sleeps six. We were transplants from out of state who moved here when I was five years old so instead my parents often rented a cottage on a lake for a week. Growing up most people we knew either owned a cottage or had family who did. These little relaxing getaways are often on a river, lake or stream within a few hours of one’s home. In Michigan where we live, it’s common for people to have cabins or cottages “up north”.
