10 Home Trends We Don’t Want To See In 2017 (Sorry, Bare Light Bulbs)

Decorating your apartment is nothing if not a lesson in coping with FOMO. How many times have you styled that one corner of your space — you know the one, the corner with the good light — to the point where you think it's Instagram-ready. Then you see a friend of a friend’s apartment snap pop up in your feed, and instead of copying the same old design blog go-to's, he did something new and inspired.

No more compulsive liking, competitive posting, or comprehensive social media makeovers to try to Get The Look! everyone else has already got.

Here’s to a more personal and original 2017 — influence be damned!
