Should I Do A Trendy Remodel?

It's always fun to keep up to date with trends. 

When you're ready to start a remodeling project, one of the first things you might do is start looking for design inspiration. You begin searching to see what's trending, what styles are popular, or what the latest paint colors are. The more you look, the more you may become attracted to a trend or trends that are fun, eclectic  and modern. If you find a trend that you have your heart set on then you should go for it! It may not stay "trendy" to others, but you’ll enjoy it forever!

However, if you think you might want to sell your home later down the road, a trendy remodel may not be the way to go. A good rule of thumb is to invest in something that you love and be able to get a good resale value, so it's a win-win situation. A great way to compromise trendy designs with styles that everyone will love is to pick timeless design selections and add trendy accent pieces. 

For example, when you select cabinet colors and paint colors, you’ll want to pick transitional tones such as greige, black, or white. If you want a bolder, moody color that can still be considered transitional, you can select blue or green tones for your cabinetry and pair it with a neutral paint color. For your countertops and backsplash, you’ll want to find a selection that is neutral or transitional but also has some texture and movement in the design of your backsplash or the veining in your countertop. This allows you to enhance your trendy design while also incorporating balance. 

Then to complete your stylish design, you can add hardware, light fixtures, faux beams, rugs, and other accent pieces that will give your space that unique style! This way, you get the best of both worlds with a base design that can appeal to potential buyers and the chic, modern design you've always wanted. And if you decide to stay in your home, then you know you've designed your forever home that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
