12 Old Decor Fashions to Abandon in House

With the turn of the year comes the desire for new things in our lives. The décor is no exception. It is the opportunity to leave behind certain decoration fads that have already given their due. Either they already got sick or they showed to be impractical. For example, open shelves in the kitchen, which require extreme and unhealthy organization in everyday life. Other trends have simply had their moment, like burnt concrete floors. Now it’s time to move on.

1. All white kitchens

We already anticipate here that it was time for the entire white kitchen. It lacks personality and the atmosphere is cold. The cool thing is to leave a few spots of color in the kitchen white or paint it all over.

2. Signs

They became a fever in modern houses. It started with a vintage fashion and then expanded, invading any style. There are other, more creative ways to express your personality, such as with antique furniture or family photos.

3. Millennial pink

We’ve also told here that this color is already tired. It’s time for new tones, such as Classic Blue, chosen as the color of the year 2020 by Pantone. Or more cozy neutral tones.

4. Granite at all

Granite sinks have become a craze in standard constructions. But there are plenty of new, durable and stylish materials to choose from, even more economical and beautiful.

5. Skirt to bed

A lot of people have become attached to this old school trend that is not at all happy. More and more beds have designs that do not require this accessory. It’s not practical at all: it gets dirty easily and even makes it easy for animals to climb into your bed.

6. All gray

Gray is a sophisticated and neutral color, but when discovered, it started to cover the walls, beds and furniture. An exaggeration that, on top of that, is boring and tiring. Alternate with other neutral tones, especially browns, which are more cozy.

7. Industrial decoration

Despite being one of the most recent decoration fads, industrial decoration becomes rather cold inside a house. And people prefer to have a cozy space to live.

8. Burnt concrete floor

He has become the darling of any decorating style. But, like the industrial decor, it’s a bit cold and lacks character. There are options for floors that imitate wood, are durable, more cozy and much cheaper to use at home.

9. Open shelves

They look stylish, but let’s be honest: who wants all the kitchen utensils on display? It takes a lot of time to clean up and organize and no one has any spare time. Another one of the decoration fads that might not even have appeared.

10. Subway tile

They also turned fever and started to appear in any kitchen and bathroom. Despite being a good basic option, especially in white, it got tired because it was one of the most used decoration fashions.

11. Sliding door

Hacienda-style sliding doors also gained surprising popularity and became tiring – quickly, indeed. They don’t match any environment and much less any decoration. They can even be used, but with parsimony and common sense.

12. Macrame

Millenials’ and Instagram have brought back macramé straight from the 70s, combined with lots and lots of plants. But that doesn’t fit in any home. In fact, it doesn’t look good on most of them. In addition to accumulating a lot of dust. You can achieve the rustic and handcrafted look in other ways.
