Andy Yates Design in Good Housekeeping
Andy Yates, NCIDQ Certified Interior Designer and Principal of Andy Yates Design, has been featured in a new article by Good Housekeeping titled, “Outdated Home Features Designers Never Want to See Again.” The article leverages top industry expertise to guide homeowners on avoiding common design pitfalls and creating a truly timeless aesthetic.
The feature highlights Yates' perspective on which home design elements are quietly dating spaces and why homeowners should focus on longevity and personalization over fleeting social media trends. Yates offers practical advice for transitioning away from styles that feel "constraining" or "visually exhausting."
Key Takeaways from the Feature:
Focus on Longevity: Yates advocates for bespoke, quality furnishings over "fast furniture" that chases fleeting looks.
The Power of Texture: The designer encourages moving past sterile, monochrome palettes by incorporating layered textures and natural warmth.
Timeless Kitchen Design: Yates advises clients to select one or two standout features in a kitchen remodel rather than overwhelming the space with every current trend, ensuring a more effortless and timeless kitchen design.
“My philosophy has always been to create authentic environments that improve the human experience, not just chase the latest viral trend,” says Andy Yates, who serves luxury interior design clients across the Midwest in the Chicago and Michigan markets. “It’s about helping clients tell their story through design, and that starts with letting go of the elements that don’t serve their long-term vision for a comfortable, stylish home.”
The feature further solidifies Andy Yates Design’s reputation as a leading source for luxury interior design and insightful commentary on the future of home aesthetics.
