Home remodeling television shows and Pinterest have done a lot for home renovation, for better or for worse. While there are certainly some great ideas that get shared through these platforms, there are also a whole lot of regrettable design and renovation trends that have become popular.

Ultimately, when you’re focused on getting high-quality home remodeling in Tyler, TX, you should do your best not to pay attention to what’s trendy at the moment. Focus instead on what you can be sure will be timeless. Otherwise you’re going to be looking at a home design that’s highly outdated in only a few years!

Here are just a few examples of some of these renovation trends you should be sure to avoid.

  • Specialty hardware finishes: These specialty finishes go out of style very, very quickly, so it’s best to opt for the classics. Rose gold finishes are one example of a style that was extremely trendy for a little while, but now appears horrifically outdated when you come across it. Right now, it’s brass that has become extremely popular, and people are often using it as their main finish in kitchens and bathrooms. Many design experts see this trend flaming out rather quickly. Expect to see lots of people swapping out their brass finishes for other more classic styles within the next couple years.
  • Unnecessary bathroom additions: Bathroom remodels are always going to be popular because they are highly practical and add a lot of value to your home. However, it’s important to be smart with how you perform your bathroom remodel. There are some additions that just get way over the top. Do you really need marble walls, or luxury amenities all over the place? People often add a significant amount of expense to their bathroom remodels with items that aren’t really necessary.
  • Graphic tiling: One big trend right now in bathrooms and kitchens is colorful tilework with graphic designs on it. However, we’ve seen throughout design history that when these types of particular prints or patterns get really popular really quickly, they also fade in popularity just as fast. People grow tired of them quickly. Simpler tends to be better when it comes to your flooring design.
  • Open shelving: Open shelving has become really popular in kitchens and bathrooms in recent years as a way to provide the appearance of saving space. Open shelving is also less expensive and requires less maintenance. However, it requires people with a flair for decoration to really be able to pull it off. You must also be highly organized and avoid letting clutter build up.

These are just a few examples of some of the design trends we’ve seen popping up in recent years that are just not advisable. If you’re interested in learning more about what types of designs are and are not a good idea to implement in your home, we encourage you to contact us for your home remodeling in Tyler, TX.
