I Don’t Like Trends: They Tend to Make Everybody Look the Same

While this quote pertains to clothing, it really resonated with me, and I wanted it to be the intro to chatting about trends in home styling. Following trends in home decor can be exciting and provide a fresh look to your living space, there are several reasons why some people (Patina included) choose not to follow trends:

1.  Personal Style Preference: Everyone has unique tastes and preferences. Some individuals prefer a timeless and classic aesthetic over trendy designs, as it reflects their personal style more accurately.

2.  Longevity: Trends come and go quickly. Choosing classic and timeless decor elements can ensure that your home doesn't look outdated as trends change.

3.  Financial Considerations: Keeping up with the latest trends in home decor can be expensive. Opting for timeless pieces can be a more cost-effective choice.

4.  Resale Value: For those who consider the potential resale value of their home, sticking to neutral and classic decor choices can make the property more appealing to a broader range of potential buyers.
