One trend that needs to die and go away and not come back is farmhouse chic. It's done. We don't all live in farms. Your communities are not on farms, not all of your golf clubs are on farms, so this everyone designing in farmhouse chic has got to go. No more shiplap. We're not doing that. It needs to go.
Speaker 2:
Keep that like the homes.
Speaker 1:
I don't even think you should do it there. It's just, it's overdone. It was a season. It's not for everyone, it's not for every property and it needs to be more thoughtful.
Speaker 2:
Hey everyone, welcome to Private Club Radio, private club industry source for news trends, updates and conversations all in the world of private golf and country clubs. Whether you're new into the industry, welcome. Or a well-seasoned professional, welcome back. Happy to have you all here. This is another live episode I did on the spot with my friend Melissa Banco from Banco Design. It was the last night of NCA conference. We were out on the putting greens and just set up shop and we just talked and this is just the do's and don'ts 2024 do's and don'ts what's in, what's out when it comes to interior and club design. Private Club Radio Live at the NCAA show. We're at the final. Hoorah, we're at PGA headquarters. I don't know why we're doing this now, but we are.
Speaker 1:
But it's a beautiful property. We're hanging out, we're having a lovely time and it's a lovely night and there's a lot of action going on behind us.
Speaker 2:
And you are the interior design experts. You guys are, you know your jam, you know, you know your stuff and you wouldn't be if you weren't here. And what are some trends, some things, what are do's and don'ts, I guess, for 2024? Okay, because a lot of renovations going on, yes, some of the talks, we're talking about it. So what are some do's and don'ts that you see going on for designs in the rest of 2024, into 2025? And I guess whatever and beyond.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, Okay, no-transcript. I don't even think you should do it there, so it's just, it's overdone. It was a season and it's just. It's not. It's not for everyone, it's not for every property, and it needs to be more thoughtful. Okay, so that's one. Grays are out. Grays are gone. Cool tones are gone. They are being phased out really quickly. You can see it even with product tile fabrics. A lot of these cool tones that were really popular are now just phasing out. People want warmer tones, and so that's what you're going to see in finishes. You're going to see it in lighting and metal finishes.
Speaker 2:
Is that something that you agree?
Speaker 1:
with.
Speaker 2:
Because I'm just saying, because sometimes, like what the market says and does, and what you like and enjoy can be two different things.
Speaker 1:
So well, I mean it's, anything is cyclical and design is that same way, and so there are things that come in, and they come in really hot and people gravitate to it and it becomes over specced and then it's like, okay, it's season is done and we're moving on into another phase. So you're seeing things that were renovated, you know, seven to 10 years ago, and it was a lot of these things that we're talking about. So, like we're in this new wave of what that looks like, so the shift has changed from a lot of these gray tones, minimalism, lots of white and this like cold and sterile sort of environments, where it was a little bit more minimalistic, now it's maximalist and warmer tones tans, bronzes, creams chachkis, no, yeah.
Speaker 1:
Well thoughtful chachkis. Okay, maybe more of an accessory and not so much a tchotchke. So those are a couple of trends that we're seeing and that we're responding to and that we like because it's you want to stay fresh, you want to stay current there, listen, there are patterns and things that are going to be. They're going to stand the test of time, and we do a lot of that. There's a lot of classicism in what we do. You have to be careful how much of a hot trend you're putting somewhere, because you know it comes and goes.
Speaker 2:
Was this fun for you, and what's in?
Speaker 1:
What's in?
Speaker 2:
What's in? What are the hot things?
Speaker 1:
The hot things are bolder colors, saturated color that ties in with sort of that maximalist. You want to make spaces feel a little bit more cozy, so they used to be like white and bright. We're seeing lots of jewel tones, honestly, honestly, mixed in with pastels, so there's a good little balance there. Not everything is just one saturated tone. So lots of color, lots of warm tones, lots of natural materials. So there was a jam for a little while where it was materials that were made to look like other materials faux woods, faux marbles, things like that and we're seeing a turn where folks are really going back to the source authentic materials. So that's what? Hey, that's not. We're not doing that.
Speaker 2:
No, hey, okay.
Speaker 1:
No, hey, but you know texture not head, that's weird, yeah. Yeah Was this fun.
Speaker 2:
You didn't say your word.
Speaker 1:
What's my word? Maximalism? No.
Speaker 2:
The last part of the blog post.
Speaker 1:
Oh, the organic shapes that made you giggle.
Speaker 2:
Organic shapes are in. What does that even mean?
Speaker 1:
It just means fluidity, organics, Not so structured. Gosh, you don't even speak, you just you're, you're, really you're. It's a mockery. It's a mockery of design and the narrative.
Speaker 2:
The show this place. What are we talking about? No, I'm kidding. No, thank you for coming on. I know we had a little bit of fun there at the end, but no appreciate that People can take it for what it is as they're going through renovations and things. So thank you, melissa.
