As per Yahoo! Makers, Kitchen Offices is something that you should let go of.

But for those who are more laid back, your kitchen desk top needs to find a new spot.
As per Alessia Z. Loffredo of ReDesign Home, office desk should be avoided in high traffic areas.
"You want it out of the high traffic area, instead, focus on maximizing storage space in kitchens and creating office areas in a separate and more private setting, like the study. If you don't have a study, carve space for a desk in living rooms or bedrooms."
Yahoo also suggested that neutrals should be set aside as well as this year will be filled with vibrant colors. Michael Mershat from Wentworth Studio stated that the neutrals would still remain it would however serve as a backdrop to bold colored pieces.
"Grays, whites, and taupes will still be there, but they will become the background that allows us to incorporate bold colors in the forefront."
V shaped pattern or Chevron made its way into several households, but according to Sara Gilbane, it needs to find it's way out as it is no longer flattering this year.
"I have seen it a lot in fabric, wallpaper, and flooring (wood and tile) and it is already starting to feel dated to me. A herringbone wood floor is classic, but chevron no longer feels fresh."
