It’s so true! I definitely noticed that and I must say, it’s getting a little tiring. It’s a great look because it’s classic and easy, but with added trendy elements, but it’s also pretty tame as far as design is concerned. I much prefer bold, brave, unexpected interiors.

Very interesting observation and so true! I think it is a bit of both. I think the beige sofa and parsons table will also be a classic base but think the patterns that accent them will always be changing. I still love chevron — it can always make me smile…but think that it is important to mix it with other patterns to make sure a room doesn’t look “passé”. Have a great trip!

i think it’s definitely a modern classic, but i’ll be curious to see how long the chevron, trellis, quatrefoil, etc. trend hangs on. hopefully a while, as i sit on my beige couch with pink+white chevron pillows…haha

Haha totally true! Add in some metallic knick knacks and a lucite chair and you’re set! Maybe it’s just because everyone wants to be like the designer bloggers, just like everyone wants a piece of what celebs wear? But also I think it’s because we can see the designs working together, and it’s a non-thinking approach, it’s already laid out for us on the internet, and with everyone putting a note of where everything is from, it’s so so easy to just pick up those items and recreate the looks, even if it is someone else’s design!! x

I was just thinking about chevron the other day. I like it, but I don't know how much more of it my eyes can take. I think it's time to move on.

Enjoy Copenhagen!

I think the biggest problem lies in the execution. If cheap cottons and fabrics are used to make this scheme happen, then it shows. If it were simply about combining interesting colours or patterns, more of the internet would find itself in the pages of Elle Decor and AD.

I think championing knocking things off, copy cats, looks for less has watered the entire design market down to a lowest common denominator. I wish more blogs would speak out against the blatant stealing that others promote or sites such as Spoonflower which is knock off central.

There is much to be said for working hard, saving up and executing quality vs as close as you can get. Hard to respect the cheap, poorly executed knock offs.

SO true! You nailed the look and I think it’s popular because it’s accessible.

I have to agree with some of the commenters above. It’s easy because you can swap about some of the accents for when they become outdated/you get sick of them. Have an awesome trip!

now that you mention it, a lot of the inspiration pictures i’m seeing are incredibly similar to this. i’m actually a little disappointed! but in all honesty, i am such a sucker for those parson tables – they’re so pretty haha

hope you enjoy your trip!!

It’s an easy look to put together and to not screw up. But for the designers out there, it’s fun to go a little more bold and daring, to take risks with your decor.

Hope you enjoy Copenhagen!
