I’m not sure how a trend is a con. Mainly things become a trend because people like it at that time.
Everything has at some point been a trend, be it colourful rooms, or the magnolia /shiny brown sofa combo, or the stencilling on the wall, peach, terracotta, Scandi, wallpaper borders, even coloured bathroom suites, brightly coloured clashing kitchen tiles, it’s all been a trend at some point.
What difference does it make if it’s a trend of yesteryear or a trend of today, very few people decorate their homes in a way to be fashionable but they secretly hate. They do it because they really like it.
There are many trends right now, grey through to navy and copper, rode gold, sage greens, blush pink, . It’s really just what’s current, but also what people like
Personally I can’t get het up about how people decorate their homes. Not to the extent I’d be hurling abuse on line “awful, tacky, cheap, naff, hideous”
My home isn’t Grey, it’s actually mainly shades of green from F&L’s french grey in one room (which is actually green) to pale Eau de nil in another . And then oyster, or even white in other rooms. With some in your face wall paper.
However I’ve seen lots of homes I think look lovely in grey, elegant, calming and cosy. Others less to my taste, but the same can be said for other decor choices, some are great, others not quite to my liking, as I’m sure some folks would think about mine. Personally I am not a fan of anything brightly coloured or too stark and white.
Somethings not right though when you feel the need to “understand” some randoms decor choices or become venomous about it.
We all have different tastes, hence so many trends now and over the years, and it’s not a stretch to understand that maybe just maybe someone has different tastes to you.
