When you're in the business of doing remodels, you get to see decades of trends that span tons of homes. Some of those trends are as impressive as ever and some of those trends are the very reason WE are hired!
Thank you to our friends at the Crystal Snook Real Estate Group for sharing this interesting research from interior designers. We've seen every trend listed and some we would add to the list for sure!

Remember the all-white everything trend of the 2010s? Or the crackle paint technique that swept the nation that one year in the 90s? Trends come and go and, as helpful agents, we want to remind homeowners how some of these trends can come back to bite them if and when it's time to sell.
According to professional interior designers, these 8 trends have become the most regrettable:
• Granny Chic – loud colors, bold patterns and heavily layered visuals
• Barn Doors – Charming, but impractical and now, "gimmicky"
• Open Shelving – style replaced with stress from dust to clutter to mismatching
• High-Maintenance Tiles – handmade and cement tiles that are inconsistent, fragile and prone to stains
• Matte Black Fixtures – sleek turns into unforgiving scratches, water spots and smudges
• All White Farmhouse Look – now "tired," this look has fallen flat
• Bold Materials on Permanent Surfaces – Wildly painted cabinets, bold, busy tiles on surfaces like walls and counters
• Going All-in on a Trend – remember when it was "in" to paint everything, literally everything, gray?
If you are looking to sell and want some expert feedback on ways to make your home more appealing to buyers, call the Crystal Snook team today! (352) 290-4523
