Trends - What's Going to Replace Stainless Steel Appliances?
Comments (56)I predict that appliance finishes will become the next great province of corporate brand exposure. It will start small, a little "Ben and Jerry's" logo near the freezer handle, perhaps. Or a "Jimmy Dean" etched into the meat drawer. Then it will grow. Soon, our appliances will be festooned with advertising thicker than a NASCAR Champion's fender. There will emerge interesting and profitable cross marketing opportunities as pharmaceutical companies discover how closely our desire to feed ourselves is coupled to our desire for sex. Then every time we reach for a slice of cheese and a Pepsi we'll hear the "Viva Viagra" chorus or the annoying jangles of the "Cialis Daily" bathtub melody reminding us to take our pills....See MoreControversial Design Trends, lol
Comments (39)I was at TJMaxx/Homegoods yesterday, and that mustache motif was printed on lots of stuff. I think it's vile, and have seen it semi-adopted by teenagers around here, who seem to view it ironically. I wonder if it originated in some anime show or something on-line. When my teenage style expert gets herself out of bed, I will ask, and will post any insights. I've been collecting little bird figurines and bird printed fabrics most of my life. The only impact the trend has had is that it's much easier to find things now, and it looks as if I'm trying to be trendy with my birds all over the place, but I'm not. I also have a sunburst mirror in my living room, which I bought over 20 years ago in an antique store. The problem with them being so ubiquitous now is that the next step is for them to become passe, and I love my mirror. I'm not ever taking it down. I saw a fiddleleaf fern in a blog, and was going to buy one, but not now....See MoreIs it a new(ish) trend to paint exterior in one color?
Comments (1)This comes in and out of favor, but is actually pretty classic. There are 18th century wooden houses that are documented to have been painted one color from top to bottom including trim, window sashes and even the front door. I would say that accenting the front door and painting the other trim and the siding the same or very similar colors is currently popular but never an incorrect choice....See MoreTrends in flooring color...
Comments (13)I would say go with what you LOVE. By the time you are ready to list the property the trends will have shifted and you will need to refresh the space anyway. That would mean new flooring as well. My one and only concern with LVP in a condo = noise reduction rules. LVP does NOT like underpad. And in most apartment-style condos the noise abatement requirements of the HOA is far beyond the capabilities of LVP. Please be VERY aware of the limitations of LVP. Please check your HOA requirements for noise abatement and then figure out if LVP (which 99% does NOT allow for noise reducing underpadding) is the right choice. People get confused with LVP because it has the look of laminate. But it is far different than laminate. Laminate is allowed some of the best noise abatement underlayments on the market whereas vinyl doesn't allow for any (there are a few minor exceptions....but the vast majority do NOT allow for this). Vinyl usually has to be put straight down over the wood or concrete substrate. Please do your homework before looking at LVP....See Moredeegw
