Trendy home decor and design trends to avoid if you're over 60, according to an expert

Prioritize function over trends when decorating, especially if aging in place. Avoid handle-free cabinets, ultra-deep lower cabinets without pull-outs, floating staircases with minimal railings, complex home automation, high-gloss slippery surfaces, sunken living rooms with random steps, and bathrooms lacking grab bars or tubs. Opt for simplicity, safety, and low maintenance to ensure a stylish yet practical, accessible home for long-term comfort and independence.
