“We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room,
drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list,
we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential.”
Ellen Goodman
As I've perused design magazines, websites and blogs, I've compiled a list of the most common IN'S and OUT'S interior design trends for 2014.
Keep in mind that there are differences between a trend and a fad. Trends point toward a certain direction (neutral colors, indoor-outdoor spaces) and evolve over time. Fads, on the other hand, are short-lived (antlers, word decor) and are popular for a brief amount of time.
I've always been a bit leery of interior design professionals who scream Like This! and Don't Like That!, and I tend to take their opinions with a grain of salt. However, there are several common threads amongst the various design experts. Not that I agree with all of them, but I've listed them here:
