Resolutions and fads we'd like to leave in the last decade

It appears Yourhomers are already plugging away on their New Year's resolutions, with 47 per cent saying they've already made progress on their New Year's to-dos in last week's poll.

The remaining 53 per cent say they don't make resolutions.

Let me know in the front page poll what trend you'd love to banish, whether it's stainless steel kitchens, mismatched upholstery or white stair risers!
