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 outdated.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

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview: 

[7:30] Feeling that donation high? Here’s why decluttering and donating feels so good in the moment but often fails to stop the cycle of re-accumulation

[11:30] Can authentic minimalism exist in a consumerist culture?

[16:00] Candid thoughts on how and why minimalism has been commercialized

[25:00] How to tell if your minimalism is driving more shopping or actually shrinking your ecological footprint

[28:30] Listen to your whispers!
