50 Poorly-Aging Interior Design Trends That This Interior Designer Says You Should Avoid

Last time I checked, my booty was round.

I think these belong in a guest bath for those who don't like their visiting in-laws.

Maybe it's to encourage healthy eating? Eat more fibre so you take less time to poop, otherwise the square toilet of doom will hurt you.

For Your "Square-A$$" Relatives.

Possibly a good fit if you've just gotten off of a 7-hour flight in a coach section middle seat.

My shins hurt just looking at this.

I stayed in a hotel that had one. Got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and hit my shin. I've never been in so much pain. The light revealed a bleeding gash on top of a goose egg

I can see so much going wrong with this.

I thought this was cool back in the 90s. Fortunately I never got one.

The idea behind these, for anyone curious, originates from Japan. There, in contrast to much of the west, the 'mattress' is a futon which when not in use as a bed, is folded up and placed in a closet. The platform of the bed then allows you to utilize the space, without sitting on the carpet below, which quite often can be a touch cold due to slab concrete construction.

I never got this outside of a professional kitchen. The amount of steam, grease particles, and dust floating in the kitchen cakes these pans unless they're cleaned on the regular. Why add to your workload?

I bought one of these for my last apartment simply because I did not have enough cabinets to store my pots and pans. So it was either that or nothing.

My partner is 6"4. He would get knocked out just making coffee

We have one, but: it's not in the main kitchen but a separate room mainly used for storage. And we don't use it for pots and pans but for spatulas and big spoons.

My parents have one & it's great storage. it's also a great way for my dad to hit his head (:

Also sofas that are so low... hurts my back and legs and are hard to get up from

I have never bought a sofa in my life. Where I live people dump perfectly useable furniture on streets or industrial estates

Hey, just put a couple of phone books under the middle.

Um I have the same couch for the last twenty years. No middle support. It's doing just fine. Perhaps you should buy quality products

More often than not?

The previous owners of the house I bought installed one of these. The first night after moving in, I was exhausted, aching all over and though a spa bath sounded great. Got all set up, turned it on, and it spurted grey plugs of gunk at me, great lumps of god-knows-what scummy flakes of nastiness that had sat there, marinating in the tubes for weeks/months. The bathroom was the first room we remodelled, it was disgusting.

1. clean them. 2. If it sounds like that, there might be something wrong with your tub.

Not hard to Mai rain. Add a cup of bleach after use and cycle for a minute.

If you want legionnaires disease, get a hot tub.

A giant bowl of human soup

I cannot believe that people are actually going for this idea, I refuse to believe it.

I beg to differ on hiding the toilet away. Mine is in a tiny little separate room with a door and I am an old lady. It is a nightmare to clean the floor and outside of the toilet and, of course, it's one of those toilets where the sides aren't smooth but have that white worm looking thing. The door is never used as it opens into the tiny toilet room and closing it requires more body flexibility than I will ever have again.

I’m sorry what on God’s green earth is this utter nonsense? I like my privacy, unlike whatever weirdos install these.

I don’t mind an open plan shower/bath room. But give a an old fashioned water closet any day. Some things should not be spectator sports

We looked at a house once that had no door between the bedroom and master bath. No thanks.

Anyone who's been in a nightclub restroom already knows this. Hard water build-up is a lot more noticeable, too.

I tend to get up in the night and don't want to turn the light on. I wouldn't be able to see where I'm going in this thing.

I have an accent wall in my bathroom that is black and it is stunning. The rest is white and millennial grey tho - the classics...

If you have light hair, you'll see it in a black bathroom.

I would never have black rooms in my house, it's ugly!

Makes it easier to keep clean if you can see it all, although I agree that it can highlight any clutter.

I rented a place with "white" counters. I couldn't ever actually get them all white, always stained. Frustrating.

The guy I bought my house from installed black tiles on the floor and black vinyl cupboards in the kitchen and I hate it with a passion, it takes sooo much cleaning and literally every speck shows up but I can't afford to change it yet

Unless the colors are softer and more natural, I personally prefer Christmas lights to these.

I despise LED and halogen lights. They both do very weird and painful things to my eyes.

Where's the "S******r Pole"??
