Design is very personal and reflects the inner self. Of course, ideally property owners seek the help of licensed architects and interior designers. On the other hand, many homeowners enjoy bargain hunting. They may update their homes slowly over time. Erin Gates of Design Trends 2014 notices are relaxing away from modern and eclectic to core with a return to the traditional. But there still is the mixing of “different metals, woods, and fabrics.”
The trick in home design is always to create a cohesive look. One designer suggests homeowners in Colorado Springs imagine all of the decor and furnishings in one big room. If it all blends, then when the furnishings are separated into the rooms in the house there will be a flow. The entire home will have a signature design.
Modern communications and manufacturing methods have reduced the cycles of fashion. Whereas furniture style trends used to last for 25 years, today the waves of fashion and home design may last 5-10 years. To save on costs and be in style, purchase all main pieces in good quality and save some on changeable accents.
