Are Trends Important?

John Bonema • January 16, 2023

Trends are everywhere. Whether it's a new coat with the trendy color or the latest logo design, trends can be fun and inspiring to take advantage of. But they can also be confusing and overwhelming. The truth is that there are no rules when it comes to designing your home or office space—you're free to follow your own vision and apply different styles based on what feels right for your needs! So how do you know what will work?

Trends can be a great way to get inspired, but they don't last forever. Don't be afraid to try something new or old. If you think something is out of date, go for it!


Trends come and go so quickly that it's hard to keep up with all of the trends that are popular at any given time. It takes some trial and error before you find out what works for your brand or project (and even then there might still be some surprises).


Don't be afraid to stray from the norm!

  • You don’t have to be afraid of being different.
  • You don’t have to be afraid of trying something new.
  • You don't have to be afraid of taking a chance.
  • And you definitely shouldn't fear making mistakes, because if you're not making mistakes, then how are we going to learn?


Even though it may seem like decorating your home is all about matching trends, the truth is that you can totally do what you want with your space.


If you've ever been around someone who's done this right, you know that customizing furniture and accessories is the way to go. It might take a little more time and effort to get things just right, but the end results are worth every second spent.


It's also important not to settle for store-bought options when it comes to decorating. You don't have to spend a fortune on furniture—just invest in quality pieces that have been made well and look great in any room of your house.



If you could have one custom piece of furniture made, and money was not an option, what would it be?
