The Best And Worst Trends, According To Design Experts

We're not going to sugarcoat it for you: Keeping up with the latest and greatest design trends can be tough work. Some "it" colors, patterns, and aesthetics go in and out of style faster than you can say "open floor plan," so it takes some serious dedication to keep your finger on the design pulse.

Then, of course, there's deciding which trends to bring into your own home. The right trends will make your space feel cool and current, but blend seamlessly with your personal style. But choose the wrong designs, and you're looking at a pretty cringe-worthy place.

When it comes to trends, interior designers have seen it all (the good, the bad, and the ugly) so they're sharing their thoughts on the best and worst fads to follow.

Make no mistake, trends are entirely subjective. In fact, you'll even see some of the designers here disagree on which trends are in and out. But we hope their thoughts will inspire you to create a space that you'll really love.
