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JNCO jeans, leg warmers or pedal pushers (I didn’t just make that word up!), you shouldn’t decorate your house with outdated designs either.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.

    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.

    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.”

Design style varies from person to person, and while trends come and go and get outdated, some ppl still like them but unfortunately this person is so condescending that anyone who DID like that stuff might feel bad about it because the writer is so aggressive about things they don't like. Cuz apparently they and they alone decide what is or isn't in style and anyone who disagrees is gross and needs to stop...

    Actual brass (not just things painted or colored a brass color) kills bacteria on contact. THATS why brass door knobs and faucets are a thing. For hygienic reasons.

    Every generation is entitled to repeat the mistakes of previous ones. I expect it is mostly people who are too young to have lived through the original avocado and harvest gold era that are using those colors now. Like all the young couples on HGTV who ooh and ah over some "mid-century modern" place that I gratefully escaped from back in the 70's. I even heard that toadstool motifs are coming back. Gaaahh!

It goes in and out of fashion and has for decades. I think it can be super cute but don’t kid yourself that your big floral with the toucans is going to be timeless in some way. Encaustic tile is having a moment but it’s too much of a pattern to have real staying power and will be the Tuscan kitchen of the 2020s. I think huge giant tile will also go off trend, not because I dislike it but just because it’s a particular look and looks cycle out. I really hate the houses that look like someone started with a Tuffshed and then took a bunch of Sketchup shapes and just mashed them together on the facade. Adding brick facing on the front of the house but using vinyl siding on the sides. Like, if you’re going to use fake brick, at least make it convincing.
