The Decor Trend Bandwagon

The Decor Trend Bandwagon

Furniture and decor trends can be tempting. But trends peak then inevitably decline; after just a few years, our choices re: side lamps, accent chairs and everything in between often become (gasp!) outdated.

It’s true: hopping on and off the trend bandwagon can leave us broke and wasteful. On today’s show interior designer Betsy Helmuth first offers this spring’s biggest decor trends, then together we make them eco-conscious.

Here’s a preview of the spring decor trends we’re tweaking today:

[4:30] Moody maximalist wall colors

[9:00] Large-scale natural stone

[14:00] Embellished window treatments

[22:00] Doorknobs, pulls, and other metal finishes

[30:00] Statement lamps

Zero-Waste In The Land Of Wasteful Maximalism

Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without a trash can?

Here in the US, we don't think much about what happens to stuff once we're done with it. Indeed, American infrastructure isn't equipped to properly handle waste, and our wonton wastefulness on the cultural level exacerbates the climate crisis.

It's entirely possible to take matters into your own hands by stepping up as a change maker. On today's show activist and author Fredrika Syren suggests tangible ways to treat waste with the reverence it deserves by systematically creating less of it.

 

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Recycling is broken in America, and yet other countries have figured out how to do it right

[17:00] Being a change maker means asking guests to take their trash home with them

[26:30] Exactly how Fredrika saves $18,000 each year thanks to her zero-waste lifestyle

[30:00] Pick a self-sufficient skill and teach yourself! Thoughts on taking your zero-waste efforts up a notch in 2025
