Every year, designers announce which interior design trends are officially out. And every year, homeowners are left wondering whether the expensive finishes they just installed are already dated.
In this video, I’m talking about white kitchens, the black-and-white trend, modern farmhouse, and pale oak flooring. All looks that have dominated interior design for years.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Some of these finishes are still perfectly timeless, even if they’re no longer the latest trend. And I’m also addressing the claims that sage green and Taj Mahal quartzite are already out. I couldn’t disagree more.
If you’re planning a renovation or new build, understanding the difference could save you from some very expensive mistakes.
But here’s what most trend reports fail to explain: Just because something is no longer trending doesn’t mean it’s no longer timeless.
After almost 40 years in the design industry, I’ve watched enough trends come and go to know the difference between a look that’s simply no longer fashionable and one that will actually timestamp your house.
And with Pinterest and AI-generated inspiration images (one dead giveaway are the perfect dorky, umbrella style bouquets everywhere) influencing more renovation decisions than ever, understanding that difference has become even more important.
In this year’s video, I’m breaking down five interior design trends that are supposedly out for 2027, which ones I agree with, and which ones I think designers are calling far too early.
Because the goal isn’t to have the trendiest house on the block. It’s to create a beautiful home you love that doesn’t need another renovation in ten years.

A quick question for you. Are round mirrors a trend that is over?
I have a large shabby chic ornate frame in my narrow entryway and I am wondering if I should update the paint or replace with a round mirror. I have BM edgecomb grey walls, the shelf with black coat hooks and stair railing are a walnut stain.
