Homeowners, Share With Us The Home Design Trend You Followed And Ended Up Regretting

Home trends certainly come and go. Sometimes, the trends one follows become a staple in their household, but other times, they might think I should've never done that. So, I'm curious to know: if you're a homeowner, what's a home design trend you participated in but ultimately regretted because it just wasn't worth it?

Maybe you decided to do an accent wall in the living room because you thought it would be fun and creative. But then, after a while, you realized you really didn't like how incohesive everything looked, so you spent even more time and money re-painting the wall.

Maybe you jumped on the "everything gray and white" aesthetic trend because you thought it would look modern and chic. But then you realized it wasn't really your style, and it felt too sterile for your liking, so you went back and changed everything.

Or maybe you installed a sliding barn door and it turned out to be...not as practical as you imagined.
