Publish Not your original work? Add source 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JNCO jeans, leg warmers or pedal pushers (I didn't just make that word up!), you shouldn't decorate your house with outdated designs either.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! This post may include affiliate links. #1 Anything that says Live. Laugh. Love. theartofgettingup Report Final score: 343points POST BoredBirb BoredBirb Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago (edited) Whats what with love laugh love? Those are nice things! {Honestly curious} 70 70points reply View More Replies... View more comments 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. #2 Word signs. Yes, we know you “eat” in the kitchen. pixiestardust8 , Ryan Donnelly Report Final score: 321points POST Foxxy (The Original) Foxxy (The Original) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago They have been around for decades so I don't see them going anywhere. 89 89points reply View More Replies...

* way too many roof lines and roof planes. high-pitched roofs where the whole house looks like roof.
* 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. apple-masher , Wikipedia Report Final score: 315points POST Paul C. Paul C. Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I'd happily live in one. 91 91points reply View More Replies... View more comments 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. #4 Open shelves in the kitchen.

White cabinets, white quartz countertops, etc. Looks great in magazines but if you're actually cooking meals most of the week, it has to be a nightmare to keep everything sparkling clean. SheWhoWelds , Sidekix Media Report Final score: 308points POST btaglln btaglln Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago Well I do not agree to this one either ... My mother kitchen is white and has always been. It looks clean without a lot of effort (and we cook min. once a day, often twice) and the very big positive side is that it is 30 year old and does not look that outfashion. 86 86points reply View More Replies...

Fragrant-Chipmunk692 Report Final score: 302points POST Zoe's Mom Zoe's Mom Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I never understood people buying hutches/cabinets for an ungodly amount of money that look like they were pulled out of a barn. 172 172points reply View More Replies... View more comments 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. #7 Flipper grey everything.

I'm quite sure energy consuming stuff will soon be outdated. 185 185points reply View More Replies... View more comments 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. #10 I ban any decorations with words on it, no matter how cute it is. Ithurtsprecious , Skylar Kang Report Final score: 243points POST Sander Sander Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I really cringe at those.

View more comments 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. #13 Marble countertops, literally. Not marble-look, but actual marble. People need to be ok with the kind of wear that occurs on marble and I think most people are not. Marble in a kitchen is especially going to quickly accumulate stains and etching. valiantdistraction , Simona Sergi Report Final score: 220points POST Bee she/her Bee she/her Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago If you want marble put it in a bathroom and use a more durable stone in the kitchen 107 107points reply View More Replies...

View more comments #15 As much as I understand the need for cheaper alternative housing, I believe "tiny homes" will be viewed for what they are: mobile homes. They're nothing revolutionary. Also, so many of them are absolute fire death traps. Loft bedrooms with no means of egress. Hundred_Dollar_Shill , Toa Heftiba Report Final score: 211points POST Jessica Cooney Jessica Cooney Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I never thought about it like that, but you're right. Easy to get stuck up there with a kitchen fire. 152 152points reply View More Replies... View more comments 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. #16 Ugly modern urban apartment exterior where everything is multiple colors/boxes/textures and the inside looks sad and basic.
I realize not everyone loves more period feeling houses, but god, at least Victorians and the like were INTERESTING. The current housing trend is like vanilla ice cream... no attitude, no flavor, and it looks like every other house out there.
And that's insulting to vanilla ice cream, frankly. anon , Saru Robert Report Final score: 209points POST C W C W Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago Not every person can have a Victorian house. 209 209points reply View More Replies... View more comments #17 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. SweetTeaMama4Life , Jessica Lewis Creative Report Final score: 205points POST Martin Kralik Martin Kralik Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago Some people nowadays like to dismantle the upper kitchen cabinets and replace them with a simple shelf + artwork / paintings. It's playful, but if I did that I would end up with literally zero storage. Plus at 6'5'', I hate to bend down all the time. 100 100points reply View More Replies... View more comments #18 Open layouts make the house appear bigger, but I can't get over how much it makes a house echo. When you have more than a few people in the space it's impossible to have much privacy. PompousPun Report Final score: 196points POST Ash Ash Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago 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. 115 115points reply View More Replies... View more comments 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." #19 Vinyl signs and labels on everything. Everyone and their mother has a damn Cricut and those stupid vinyl cutouts are on everything at my school. Am teacher.

Publish Not your original work? Add source 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! This post may include affiliate links. #1 Anything that says Live. Laugh.

* the oversized entryway that dwarfs the front door itself.

View more comments 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. #4 Open shelves in the kitchen.

Cozy spaces still reign on social media, where much of the interior design content is dedicated to this particular style.

It rather creates a lasting feeling of safety and comfort, something we all lack outside our homes in these uncertain times. #13 Marble countertops, literally. Not marble-look, but actual marble.

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.

To top it off, some of these decor choices have been around for years, if not decades, but they weren't as popular until now. So basically this is a list of people hating things just because they are popular. 67 67points reply Brivid Brivid Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I agree, with a few exceptions, a lot of these suggestions are just straightforward snobbery. Most people cannot afford to change tile, kitchen cabinets, paint colors, etc just because they are not popular with the fancy house magazines anymore.

I have to tell my clients. $300,000 is a steal around here. We'll come in $30,000 over asking and put $40,000 down in due diligence. 0 0points reply jeffincharlestonsc jeffincharlestonsc Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago But no one does, they follow trends! -2 -2points reply Lea S. Lea S. Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago (edited) I've literally never consulted any resource on what is trendy before decorating my house. I don't even KNOW what trendy is. P.S. I bought my house before it went on the market and got it WAY under its value. I was the second owner. The little old lady who grew up and raised her family in this home never updated a thing. They sold it for exactly how much they wanted to and didn't update a thing. I got a house that I can makeover however I want, or leave as is. 4 4points reply PMorrisHTX PMorrisHTX Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 4 months ago Same here.

We are neither Minimalists (my minimalist friends keep trying to 'help' us) nor Maximalists, simply ourselves, un-trendy but quite comfortable us. 0 0points reply Random Panda Random Panda Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 5 months ago Imo only people who can't decorate and have no personal style do.

To top it off, some of these decor choices have been around for years, if not decades, but they weren't as popular until now. So basically this is a list of people hating things just because they are popular. 67 67points reply Brivid Brivid Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I agree, with a few exceptions, a lot of these suggestions are just straightforward snobbery. Most people cannot afford to change tile, kitchen cabinets, paint colors, etc just because they are not popular with the fancy house magazines anymore. Some people, like renters, don't really even have a choice. This just seems so shallow and judgemental when people all over the place barely make enough money to cover rent. 26 26points reply Load More Replies...

I don't like them but they are better than the plywood apartments people like me have lived in since they were born. And bitching about tiny houses. Ooh no, people are trying to make mobile homes more appealing? How dare they?! Seriously, this post shows how out of touch the kind of people paid to assemble nonsense like this really are. Yeah go follow your bliss, glad you got a killer job that pays 50k a year to REPOST s**t from Reddit. I mean. Just. Holy hell. 7 7points reply Anna Banana Anna Banana Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 5 months ago You're contradicting yourself here. How are subway tile, all white or decors with words exempt for the "personal preferences" category? 4 4points reply Shane S Shane S Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 5 months ago I don’t really understand the goal of this post. It’s impossible to know, for sure, what the trends are going to be in 10,20,30 years. Decorate your house how you enjoy it. And when it comes time to sell, update and flip what you can. Otherwise, calm down. Real estate in the US is skyrocketing.
