Summary

Furniture and decor trends can be tempting. But trends peak then inevitably decline; after just a few years, our choices re: side lamps, accent chairs and everything in between often become (gasp!) outdated. It's true: hopping on and off the trend bandwagon can leave us broke and wasteful. On today's show interior designer Betsy Helmuth first offers this spring's biggest decor trends, then together we make them eco-conscious. Here's a preview of the spring decor trends we're tweaking today: [4:30] Moody maximalist wall colors [9:00] Large-scale natural stone [14:00] Embellished window treatments [22:00] Doorknobs, pulls, and other metal finishes [30:00] Statement lamps   Resources mentioned: Van Deusen Blue paint by Benjamin Moore Rub and Buff CoolKnobsAndPulls.com Episode #239: How To Find Your Home Decor Style Annie Sloan chalk paint Join our (free!)
