Afraid that the tapware, tile or bold finish you love might date in a few years? You’re not alone — and today, Chrissie and Caroline are diving into one of the most common fears clients bring to the design table.
In this episode, we unpack why people worry certain choices won’t “last”, how to tell if a finish is truly timeless, and why the most enduring design decisions usually come down to how a space feels, not what’s trending.
We chat about:
✨ The real reason clients fear finishes that might date
✨ How we respond when someone says, “I think that will date!”
✨ Simple rules of thumb for choosing finishes with longevity
✨ When bold choices actually work better than playing it safe
✨ Our quick-fire “Will It Date?” round (yes, we had opinions!)
✨ A myth-buster about custom design you need to hear
The takeaway? If you love it, it’s already timeless — because your home should reflect you, not the trend cycle.
Tune in for reassurance, practical design wisdom, and a few laughs along the way
