While we can all agree that taste is subjective, some decor decisions will almost always land you on the home design naughty list. Often, many of these are born from a love of the current trends—but it's important to know when you're taking the aesthetic of the day a little too far.
5 Design Choices You Might Regret in 10 Years, Experts Say

Following the trends and keeping a home that feels current can be both extremely fun and fairly intimidating. That’s why most designers will tell you to go with what you love—and if that happens to align with the trends, then that’s great.
If you want your home to stay timeless, then you should probably avoid making certain risky design decisions.
With this in mind, we turned to a few of our favorite experts to find out which design decisions should be skipped if your goal is to have a home that always feels relevant and well-styled.

As we watch the all-gray design aesthetic slowly slip away, designer Nathan Turner says all-gray flooring is one thing he’s happy to have always advised clients against. That’s because ripping out and replacing a new floor can be an extremely expensive decision.
“In some houses, you're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it’s costly to reverse a trend you thought you loved,” he says.
Instead, stick with something neutral or timeless, like a wood floor, and layer your trend on top—like a bold, geometric area rug.

“I'm into a pattern-on-pattern look right now, it's very cool,” Turner says. “I'm really tired of a sleek, super hyper-clean look with the boucle furniture. I've always been a color person, so I do love playing with multiple patterns.”
Obviously, trends like the Color of the Year point to an ever-evolving love for different shades in our home decor. But as insightful as these annual announcements are, it’s best to keep a timeless base palette and layer in the trendier colors, according to David Sutter, president of Five Star Painting.
«Choose neutral and versatile paint colors that can adapt to changing styles and preferences,”
