There is a huge difference between a trend and a fad, but as of late, the verbiage has been used interchangeably. So, let’s break it down and define a trend, a fad, and a viral trend.
01
Trends like Beni Ourain rugs, chevron patterns, and mid-century modern furniture rise, fade, and often come back.
02
A viral trend catches fire, often fueled by pop culture and social media to hype it up. A viral trend is a mix of a trend and a fad.
03
Fads burst onto the scene, gain popularity quickly, and fade just as fast—think inflatable furniture, wall decals, and strawberry kitchen decor.
04
Your home will inevitably feel dated, but mixing trends from different periods can help keep it timeless.
