Trends in design is always a difficult topic to discuss. Whether a designer or homeowner wants to hop onto the current trend bandwagon or not, we’re only human and they often seep into our unconscious. It is also inevitable that design trends will be followed as they become mass market and, generally, become the only options available to the consumer.

For example, you may have noticed that high gloss kitchens have only just started to give way to matt doors. It's hardly a game-changer.

In our opinion, the only thing that will always be fashionable to employ will be the use of new colours and textures. It was only 4-5 years ago that lime greens and purples had their moment and people popped this into designs, although usually as a splash of permanent colour rather than the whole kaboodle (see pictures to illustrate how we did this).

Ultimately, colour and texture will adapt to the times fashionably, which is inevitable as times change. The important thing to bear in mind is how to use the latest thing judiciously otherwise it will be costly to get bored with the old trend and change everything! A good designer will help you to do this.

In answer to the title, our main advice would be to use a clever mix of neutrals and trends for subtlety and longevity.
