Commenting on “Trends Darren Palmer doesn’t want to see in 2020”
I am a trend setter rather than a trend follower. I don’t care what others think about my house, because it is my sanctuary and castle, and I’m the decider of how it should look.
No, I have not finished what I wanted to say. I do that if I am living in it, but when the time comes that I am ready to sell, I WILL make sure I update it according to the trend or predicted trend.
It is always a good idea to paint the interior walls white, not just because it is a neutral colour for most people, but also makes any void and even crowded space look bigger and brighter.
Should you decide to add colours, hang on the walls with inexpensive art reproduction, painting of unknown artists or posters. You may have decorative ornaments put on top of some low shelves to break the monotony and clinically sterile feel room.
I do not mind a stunning highlight wall, not in the bedroom, but in the most eye-catching spot, like the wall facing the house entrance. You only do this with bold colour of the current trend, and when you are selling the house.
For goodness sake, don’t put too many photos in the house. Surely you don’t need these to remind you of the love ones, not to mention even when you suffer from dementia, these photos have little effect to reduce dementia or improve the condition. The photo frames only gather dust, an additional chore on your cleaning list.
What’s wrong with your out-dated HiFi sets and club lounge in your entertainment room? Do you think that Roman blind is more practical the Venetian blind? Oh yes, I still have my Sansui, JVC, Kenwood HiFi, the very comfortable lounge sofa and Venetian blinds.
Whether you are still living in the house or about to sell it, for goodness sake, don’t put everything on the kitchen bench. That kind of untidiness is totally uncalled for. It may only take two minutes to put all the gadgets or cereal containers/boxes away. How do you clean the bench if every cm is covered?
If you have a low coffee table, keep the top empty or even put some coffee table books on like how a display home displays them. A vase of fresh or dried flowers can be a pleasant sight.
You can pick up some good second chairs from op-shops at very low prices, but for cupboards, I suggest white laminated ready-to-assemble from Bunnings, Aldi or even Kmart are preferred. It is always handy to put things away in cupboards.
A word of warning - don’t go crazy spending unnecessary money in your new born child’s room. It is more about you rather than the child that you spend the money on. Does a baby know what to expect after it comes out of the dark birth canal? After all, once you do that, when are you going to update the room, and if you don’t, how would the child respond?
Thank you for reading.
