Why You Shouldn't Follow Interior Design Trends
Your space should feel good—not just trendy. The impact your environment has on your life is probably bigger than you realize. It affects your mental health, your motivation, your mindset, and even how you go about your day. If your space doesn’t support you or reflect who you are, it can feel off, no matter how “stylish” it might be.
Imagine coming home to a space that genuinely speaks to you—not just a room full of Pinterest-inspired pieces you don’t even like. A home that makes you feel comfortable, uplifted, and inspired is way more valuable than any fleeting trend.
What Does it Mean to Chase Trends?
Let’s be real—there’s a lot of pressure to keep up with what’s “in” right now. Trends like all-white everything, bold statement walls, or minimalist decor are easy to jump on. And while some trends have lasting power, most fade as quickly as they come. We’ve seen the boho craze, maximalism, and now a resurgence of dark, moody spaces.
Chasing trends often means updating your decor every few years to keep up. But constantly redesigning can be exhausting and expensive. Plus, trends can be limiting, pushing you toward what’s popular instead of what’s personal.
Confusing Trends with What You Love
It’s easy to get swept up in the latest trends when everyone else is doing it—it’s just natural. But if you’re not careful, you might end up with a space that doesn’t actually feel like you.
When you follow trends without thinking about what you actually enjoy, your space can feel forced and mismatched. You deserve a home that brings you joy, not one that leaves you wondering why it doesn’t quite “click.”
