Interiors have trends, much like our wardrobes. So if you wouldn’t leave your house wearing JNCO jeans, leg warmers or pedal pushers (I didn’t just make that word up!), you shouldn’t decorate your house with outdated designs either.

And if your inner interior design is in a deep winter sleep and you’re about to do a renovation, this thread from the Real Estate subreddit may be a real savior. “What current aesthetic trends do you think will age poorly?” the question popped up in the community and the responses started rolling in with bad, worse and the worst interior trends that should be canceled.

From any decor that says live, laugh, love to sliding barn doors, here are some of the most questionable interior details that, chances are, may not age that gracefully. Scroll down through the post below and share what design trend would totally ruin even the best interior for you!

In the past couple of years, we have spent more time in our homes than we have in the past 60 years. It became obvious that our interiors had to adapt to better serve our needs with smarter design solutions, technology and organization. Our new more home-based lifestyles have inspired some fresh decor trends we may see more in the future.

* none of the windows are the same size or style.
* 5 different siding types. brick, stucco, faux stone, and vinyl, on the same house!
* the oversized entryway that dwarfs the front door itself.
* no trees, a huge yard which somehow doesn't provide any privacy because it's just a turf covered hellscape with nothing to block the view of the next McMansion.

According to interior designer Lisa M. Cini, a new trend we see in furniture design in 2022 is customization. “When more people are using a space, having flexible furniture is key,” she says. Cini says it may be anything from coffee tables that raise up and convert to a worktable to dining tables that transform into family-friendly tables to seat as many as 10 people.

Moreover, “The old tried and true Murphy’s bed is back and better than ever before, allowing you to have a full bookcase on the front, a dining table, and with a simple turn and fold down (not having to remove anything on your bookshelves), it converts to a full bed,” Cini argues.

Another trend interior designers are seeing right now is the comeback of earth tones, from dining rooms to living rooms and even kitchens. “Dark earth tones look best in large open spaces or areas with high ceilings. You want to make sure that there’s enough room for the color to breathe and appear as intended,” says Benjamin Stenson Norsemen home improvement studio.

Eco-friendly designs and materials have also become a hit in the last year with more and more people opting for sustainable lifestyle solutions. We are talking materials that have been recycled, reused, or made from reclaimed wood. This new trend is a result of people becoming more educated about the environmental impact of the choices they make. Moreover, eco-friendly materials are often allergy free.

One of the most popular interior and lifestyle design trends, hygge, which became a hit throughout the world in the last decade, is likely not going anywhere either. Cozy spaces still reign on social media, where much of the interior design content is dedicated to this particular style.

This is largely because hygge, unlike other interior design styles, not just makes our homes look good. It rather creates a lasting feeling of safety and comfort, something we all lack outside our homes in these uncertain times.

In our previous interview with Eva Taute, interior designer and creator of “Hygge Styling” studio, which focuses on minimalistic design, natural elements, personal touch, and uniqueness, we talked about what makes hygge so popular.

“We have spent our whole lives gathering experiences of spaces. Some of them we felt more at home in than others. We cannot always put our finger on why, but we know it when we feel it,” Taute said, referring to the psychological effect our homes have on us.

“I Straight-Up Tell Our Clients Not To Do It”: People Are Sharing 30 Of The Worst Interior Design Trends That Everyone Should Avoid I don't know if this is everywhere but where I live the new trend in kitchens is to have the whole kitchen on one wall with a long island in front of it. No other walls in the kitchen because on one side is the dinning area and the other side is the living area. It's too open and to make things worse you get maybe 2 upper cabinets and maybe 3 lower cabinets because the appliances and sink take up most of the space. I can see where people might think it looks nice but it's completely not functional and gives such a small amount of storage.

Open layouts are also harder to heat, which means both higher heating bills and worse for the environment. Smaller rooms are more economical and environmentally friendly.

You aren't correct (fully). Open layouts have a little bit air volume, and less constructions. Now depending on what construction we're talking about, it's either comparable (light materials like drywall with glass wool walls) or easier to heat (heavy high thermal capacity materials like brick or concrete). The interior does most likely lose some thermal inertia because of lower heat capacity of the construction which can lead to easier overheating in the summer and shorter heating cycles (which heat the interior faster but have to happen more often). The latter can in theory shorten the livespan of your heater but in practice there isn't any noticeable difference. Source: I work in Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering.

I don't agree with this one, open layouts are great for smaller houses and apartments. It's also great to be able to take part in the conversation when you have guests over, rather than being stuck in the kitchen alone.

Furnishing, soft materials on surfaces, e.t.c. are ALL the difference (unless you wanna be fancy and get sound diffusers, which are even more effective). If you want a straight comparison - soft materials are the only reason cinemas can actually work. You would have terrible echo in the room if there weren't any installations that would lower the rooms audio reflections. And even more - the cinema chairs you sit in have generally the same properties as a person so that the room still acts the same way regarding sound when people sit in (some) seats.

"Open concept" is probably going to be "so 2020" in a decade. It reminds me of the efficiency apartment I had once in college. I hate having my table and chairs in the middle of everything where you have to edge around it or push the chairs in every time you want to get from the kitchen to the living room. These people on TV are all "oh I need to be able to see my kids playing", which will only last until they get old enough that they would rather be in their rooms. Then you just have a big space where everyone has to listen to whatever one person wants to watch on TV, for the 5 total times that you actually do serious entertaining each year.

Taute explained: “Our home can reflect our inner world and how we feel about ourselves.” Not only that, but “We can also use our home to reflect the message we want our hearts to hear. It can be a place that supports our well being. We can do that by unraveling our experiences with space and finding those colors, textures, and materials that help us feel at home. Help us create that cozy feeling that brings us rest.”

Gold faucets, gold knobs on kitchen appliances, gold light fixtures, etc.

We tried this back 50 years ago and we agreed since that it sucked.

Well, what's the alternative? Silver toned metals, which are fine it you like cold colours but personally I would rather go for warmer gold.

“I Straight-Up Tell Our Clients Not To Do It”: People Are Sharing 30 Of The Worst Interior Design Trends That Everyone Should Avoid Linear mosaic. Oh god it’s f*****g ugly and there was a period where everyone was asking for it. I straight up tell our clients not to do it. It’s going to look like s**t in 10 years. It looks like s**t now but it will be so obviously dated.

Shiplap. It’s literally just wood paneling but in white. I can’t stand it!
