I really think it depends on your expectations for the home. If you know you will be living in it for a LONG time, by all means, do whatever best suits you and don;t particularly pay attention to how it affects the homes value. But if you know you will me moving within a few years, you need to consider value as well as your own preferences, and make decisions that best fit both. A lot of time things that give the feel you are looking for can be decorative touches rather than permanent installations. But when you put in a new countertop, probably best to ignore your decorative taste for mint-green and tangerine and instead go with current trends.
