Time for an Update | Even beautiful homes can feel dated. Here are the most common "aging" mistakes designers are fixing right now.
The "Millennial Gray" | Cool, gray walls and flooring are out. They make a space feel cold and impersonal.
The Dreaded "Boob" Light | Glass bowl-shaped flush mounts scream "builder-grade rental." Swap them for a rattan or modern flush mount.
The "Hotel Lobby" Look | Matching, identical furniture sets from big-box stores look impersonal and dated.
"Live, Laugh, Love" | Mass-produced word art has lost its charm. It's time to replace it with pieces that tell a story.
Tired Hardware & Fixtures | Unlacquered brass is out. Mix your metals! Try matte black, brushed nickel, or a patinaed bronze.
A Simple Refresh | Swap out your harsh overhead lights for warm, layered lighting. A floor lamp and a table lamp make all the difference.
