It adds some style and give a room a modern feeling. However, these trendy elements should be used as accents only. When a certain element goes out of fashion, replacing it will be easy. If you go with a trendy design for a couch or TV cabinet, it will be harder to replace those items just a couple of years from now when they are out of style. Put some art on the wall! Good artwork can make a boring room more exciting. Take into account the general design and feel of the room, and seek out pieces of art that complement it.
