According to design guru Nate Berkus, following the trends too closely is actually one of the biggest mistakes homeowners can make. “I think that people are very easily taken with the latest look, the latest feeling,” he said.

The interior designer explained that we get easily tired by these types of trends: "It’s kind of like that black-and-white concrete tile that everybody had. Three, four years ago, it was the thing to use in your powder room floor and on your kitchen backsplash, but do you really want it anymore now that you’ve seen it over and over and over?” he asked. Berkus would rather choose really classic, beautiful materials that stand the test of time.

So instead of copying the latest decor tendencies, Berkus suggests choosing materials that have been around since the 1920s because they are always a safe choice: "Stone or stone-solid surfacing, concrete, stone, or wood floors, classic ceramic tiles, terra-cotta, butcher block—all of that stuff has been around forever, and there’s new innovation within those looks.“

Apartment Therapy says that a good rule of thumb would be to go a little more traditional with major furnishings and to add new trends with textiles and other small items. This way, you can modernize your home without changing the expensive cornerstone pieces and easily swap out the little details in the future.

They advise on a few timeless trends that could save you some money if you're planning to redecorate at some point. One of them would be choosing white subway tiles in the kitchen: "White is always a bright, clean backdrop for styling objects and art against." As people say, white never goes out of style, so it is a safe bet since you don't have to limit yourself when looking for other details.

In their opinion, neutral tones are always a better option than going with the color of the year (unless, of course, it's neutral). “Neutral tones are timeless and work in any context,” explains designer Becky Shea. “When you go too bold and loud, in the long term, it’s not sustainable.” The same could be applied to furniture and textiles. Choosing natural materials is stylistically versatile, full of texture and warmth, not to mention that it's sustainable and practical.

Agree...I live in the desert and still can't understand why they don't build houses that take the climate into account; 110-115 degrees for most of the summer and 300 sunny days/year and still they build without solar, they install windows that are flush with walls facing the sun without large window overhangs or awnings to keep the summer heat out, better insulation etc. First thing we did when we built our house last year was add solar to everything we could, awnings on the windows, situate the house on the lot to minimize interior sun exposure and install a home battery.

Then there are the small details. “Live laugh love“ type of decorations or ordering everything in marble might seem great at the time but after some time it can become tasteless. And what about removing stair banisters? Well, it definitely achieves the minimalistic look that's been trendy for the past few decades but in real life, it's not only useless but also dangerous.

I very much prefer to have a kitchen that is not completely exposed to the area where I am going to be entertaining company.

That way, I can cook dinner and not worry about having to clean up everything in the kitchen so its spotless because the kitchen is basically in the main living room of the house.

This and also the trend of having big a** f**king windows in the front so everyone in the street can see your whole ground floor. Makes your first floor into a f**king fishbowl that I would never be comfortable in. I like to be able to walk around my house without worrying the people across the street can track my every move.

Many bedrooms are like this in the UK and have been for decades. As long as you can comfortably walk round three sides of the bed and get a wardrobe and chest of drawers in there that is enough. My master bedroom is just big enough for a king size bed, but the second bedroom is only really big enough for a single, though a double would squeeze in, you wouldn't be able to walk round it. My parent's have odd shaped bedrooms, which are just wide enough to get a bed in, but have a huge amount of space either side of the bed. It is basically a trade off between how big you make the bedrooms versus the size of the other rooms. If you only have a small apartment, you want more living space than you do sleeping space.

Sure, it's convenient that there's a f**king cappuccino machine built into the wall next to the cabinet over the center island countertop. But what happens when (not if, when) it needs maintenance? Do I have to call a goddamn carpenter as well as a cappuccino machine repairman? Do I have to consider if this is a f**king load bearing wall that contains my broken appliance?

One that annoys me and isn't in the list: putting stove tops or sinks in the middle of the kitchen island. This is not so bad if you have a truly massive one, but if you have a more typical 2m wide island, plunking something that's ~75cm in the middle of it turns what would've been a really useful prep area into two tiny ones that are also difficult to use at all if there is someone using the stove or sink that's right there. I've seen some pretty large kitchens that didn't have a single prep surface bigger than 1m because the designer thinks it looks more balanced that way and isn't thinking at all about the actual work of cooking.
