8 Outdated Home Trends

Well-designed home interiors have the power to influence your mood as soon as you step into your home. They turn your house into a home that reflects your personality and character and tells about your life and how you live it.

Home interiors are not only considered as an aesthetic part but also treated as adding functionality to your home. Whether it’s visually appealing lights, installing the latest features or having aesthetic home décor – interiors shape your home and give life to your walls.

The designs you select as part of interiors should be trendy, classic and should feel modern as they are a permanent feature of your home. You don’t change them frequently so having an idea of outdated interior designs will steer you towards the right ones for your home.

Here are some outdated designs that you should avoid while designing your interiors. 

1. Brass Fixtures and Hardware
   
   
   While brass fixtures and hardware add uniqueness to your bathroom, they are not so in the trend right now. They are outdated and installing them in your newly constructed bathroom will only make it look old and dull.
   
   
   There are so many latest designs that can make your bathroom fixtures look trendy and timeless. Discuss with your home builders about the designs that appeal to your taste.
   
   
2. White and white everything
   
   
   
   
   
   Surely white floors, ceilings, windows, and doors add calmness and tranquility to your home. However, too much white is not in the trend right now. It looks stark and clinical and no one wants to live in a place that’s reflecting a hospital-like atmosphere. And not to mention the stains and marks that will be visible ruining the overall look of your house.
   
   
3. Tiled Countertops
   
   
   Kitchen countertops should be tolerant to heat, stains, and marks. So avoid choosing tiles as part of the countertop material. You can choose any stone material but not tiles. They are not only outdated but don’t tolerate heavy weights. There are chances of damage and replacing tiles with new ones is an unnecessary job that you can avoid by choosing other timeless materials.
   
   
4. Matching Furniture Sets
   
   
   Matching furniture sets were all the rage and it’s an easy way to decorate your rooms. While they look pretty, matching sets overwhelm the room with their uniformity and hold your home back in terms of time. It gives your room an outdated and predictable appearance.
   
   
   Instead of matching sets, try experimenting with different shapes and patterns so that you are avoiding excessive similarities.
   
   
5. Wallpaper Borders
   
   
   Are you considering using wallpapers in your new or renovated home? Then hold your thoughts. While wallpapers have various designs and patterns, they are not so in the trend right now. Wallpaper walls and borders are not only old but also have to be replaced after some time depending on their usage. Consider other options when you want to beautify the borders of your home.
   
   
6. Faux Finishes
   
   
   The true beauty of interiors comes with natural-looking items. While faux items like plants and flowers beautify your space, they only stand as making a bad statement. Interiors look spectacular when you deal with real, natural, and unique finishes. It’s always better to go with simple finishes than be unrealistic and choose faux finishes.
   
   
7. Heavy Drapery and Valances
   
   
   Unless your house resembles a palace with large doors and windows, choosing heavy drapery for your home is not the right choice. They not only look outdated but feel so old-fashioned whenever you step into the room.
   
   
   Always remember that trendy designs are simple with intrinsic patterns and easy-on-the-eye designs. They feel light and make your home spacious and breathable.
   
   
8. Carpeting in Bathrooms
   
   
   Modern, stylish, and sleek bathrooms don’t have the space for laying carpets. Though you choose a modern carpet, it doesn’t match well with other modern features of your bathroom. It looks so odd that you can’t help but get rid of it.

All the mentioned interior designs here are not ugly. They are just outdated. If you are newly constructing your home and want to be in the trend, then make sure to avoid these designs so that you can focus on the latest designs that are sure to prevail in the coming years.
