Home Staging and Trends: The trouble with looking at beautiful, glossy, design magazines is that it makes a person want new, updated, trendy everything. Isn’t that the problem with shopping in general? It’s not until you get out there in the stores, surrounded by all that product and marketing, that you realize you need new everything. The same goes for home decor. Its not until you see that model kitchen, with bamboo floors and stainless appliances, that you realize harvest gold and avocado green are yesterday. The problem is that none of us can afford to replace and update our homes with every trend. The trick is to find a balance.
A well-cared for home, a well-lived in home, a well-loved home and a well-staged home all need to find the balance that includes regular upkeep and care, functionality, personal taste, and yes, a bit of the trendy. Punctuate and experiment with trendy color schemes, and themes, but remember it’s your house. If you love neutrals and canary yellow is the color of the moment…wait a moment before painting that wall. A few well-placed items can capture the feeling of a trend without sticking you with something horrible. Maybe the pop of yellow lemons in a vase, or a yellow pillow/vase/throw/lampshade will turn that khaki into trendy while allowing you to be you. Let’s keep it real, people.
