![]() Why? Because when a trend comes back around, it always has a new twist and some refinements to make it look new. If your kitchen looks like this (below)… well, it still needs paint to update it and create a fresh look. So, before you jump up and down because you think this means you can keep your cherry-cabinet kitchen, I have bad news for you. We all saw too many mismatched, bad colour combinations back in those days. The days of trying to match wall tile to floor tile with tile that coordinates (instead of being the same) hopefully died with the Tuscan brown trend. Notice too that all the tile, floor and walls, is grey limestone. Her art-filled wall around the bathtub reminds me of my ensuite bathroom.Īnd the cabinets? They gain currency because they feature the new fluted texture that immediately makes them look custom and high end. Read more: The Perils of Decorating with Too Much BlackĪnd what’s more? This bathroom is styled beautifully. It would look flat and predictable really quickly. Take a look (below), and try and picture everything in black.

And that has many of us run to embrace it again. When I saw this bathroom, I decided Chris Loves Julia, single-handedly brought back cherry cabinets, which were last on trend in the 80s/90s.īut everything old comes back around again and always in a new and inspiring way, which makes us forget what it looked like decades ago.
