Design Trends: What Works, What Doesn't
Manage episode 498269194 series 1985175
In this episode of Home Design Chat with Nancy, Nancy welcomes back Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica in Scottsdale, for a lively and candid conversation about today’s most talked-about design trends.
Together, they dissect what the public is loving—or leaving—in home design, and how these choices really play out in function and long-term value.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
Why the kitchen island sink is both loved and loathed
The necessity (or not) of electrical outlets in islands
The ongoing debate over pedestal sinks in bathrooms
Open floor plans—are we still embracing them?
The pros and cons of the doorless master bathroom
Barn doors—trendy touch or tired cliché?
Why greige paint continues to dominate the color palette
Listener reactions and personal opinions on even more trending design choices
Key Takeaway:
Not every trend is a smart choice. Gil and Nancy explain how some ideas look great on Pinterest but may not be practical for everyday living.
This episode helps homeowners and design lovers think critically before jumping on the trend bandwagon.
