If you want to be in a house that makes you happy for a long time, then there are some things to think about. You want to create something you love and not worry too much about what other people think of it. A lot of people want to avoid things that will be dated and will cost them a lot of money.

Key Takeaways:

• This is the time of the year when you’ll likely run across a lot of design articles about what’s in for the new year and what’s out. They are always fun to read and I admit I do enjoy being somewhat in the know about design trends.
• I think the concern many people have when they are decorating or remodeling a home is how they can avoid decisions that will quickly be dated, while still wanting to make a house feel fresh and personal.
• If much of your style is generally classic but you add a few “trendy” elements in a classy way, your house is still likely going to feel fresh in a few years.
