It seems like home design trends morph and change every couple of years, but over time it becomes clear which ones won’t be coming back around anytime soon. Here is a small list of trends that are decidedly out these days.
Beige, Beige, And More Beige
In the early 2000s, American homeowners balked at the flashy style of the 90’s and turned to the color beige to decorate their homes moving forward. Beige itself is a fine color, and in the years since the American public has gravitated to a new variation of it, we call greige (grey + beige). However, these beige and all its variations are now popularly paired with pops of accent color, varied fabric prints and patterns, and lots of different textures.
A House Full Of Fast Furniture
It’s hard to resist the draw of stores like Target and IKEA where you can buy a house full of furniture at a low cost. And this kind of furniture is perfect for teens, college students, and young adults who are just now getting out on their own. But eventually, the time comes for you to swap out your low-cost furniture for higher quality, longer lasting pieces that will remain part of your home design for years to come.
Decorating Walls With Borders
Wallpaper itself has made a strong resurgence over the last few years. Bright and bold wallpapers are showing up in powder rooms, dining rooms, and as accent walls. However, one wallpaper trend you won’t be seeing again any time soon is the wallpaper border. Wallpaper borders are not the only border no-nos. The formerly popular stenciled, stamped, or sponge painted borders have also seen their last days. If you feel like your walls need a little something extra, consider adding crown molding instead.
A Commitment To One Single Style
Whether you love very formal, traditional furniture or the mid-century modern style, homes that are committed to exclusively one style are considered to be outdated. That doesn’t mean that you have to get rid of your family heirlooms. Your favorite items of furniture and decor can easily be integrated into your modern home design.
If you’re looking to update your home design and staying on trend is important to you, this is a short list of things you could avoid. But just remember, your home is yours alone, and if you love a certain style of decor or design, go for it!
