Fads and Styles Versus Classic
We are in the process of making some significant style decisions on our home. And these can be very expensive decisions. The question is this...do you bow to the current wave of popularity and choose what is in style currently? Or do you choose something which isn't "in" or "out" of style? They call that "timeless" or "classic". To me, it's important to make a decision that will provide lasting benefit and minimize the potential for regret that comes with spending time, energy and money on a fad.
The risk is real. Do you bow to the self-imposed peer-pressure of having something that is currently popular, only to find that in a few years your decision is quickly outdated and now out of style? That can take a lot of effort and be very expensive to fix. Or do you stop, think about the decision before you choose, and then make a decision based on what will be the best decision now AND into the future?
It's no different in all aspects of your life. Think about the horizon of time and the financial, emotional and effort commitment you will be making for any decision. If it's short, inexpensive and easy, then no biggie. Have fun and do something stylish. But if it's a big commitment, expensive and will last a long time, perhaps going with a more "classic" solution is the answer. It may never be "in style", but you don't risk having to change something significant and expensive because it's now "out of style".
What do you choose in your life?
