#White everything

There was a period where everything was white. White walls, white couches, white cupboards, and so on. And while it can look amazing, people quickly realized it’s not a smart idea for the long term. Everything white gives quite the sterile vibe to your home. Not only that but it’s super hard to keep everything looking white and pristine. It requites constant cleaning and care. That’s why white everything quickly went out of style.

#Lacquered finishes

Once upon a time lacquered finishes and gloss on your furniture was all the rage. This is because it was supposed to help traditional homes look more glamorous. The finish added a sense of sophistication and shine to the furniture as it reflects the light thus creating a luxurious ambiance. Or at least that was the promise. But as times changed, the lacquered finish wasn’t as desirable. Nowadays, people are leaning more into natural wooden finishes.

#Matching sets

Matching furniture sets were super popular before. It was an easy way to furnish a whole ruin without thinking too much about how to design it. However, with time these sets have become less popular. People now prefer to mix and match a variety of styles, textures, and color to add more personality to the space. This way people can create unique designs that reflect who they are and their taste. That’s why matching sets are now a thing of the past. After all it’s your home, it should show who you are.

#Big entertainment centers

Large, bulky entertainment centers used to be the centerpiece of most living rooms. The huge TV’s and audio equipments are not as cool as they used to be. They are enormous and rarely go with the design of the room. Now there are plenty of flat screen options that are easily mountable and can even be hidden within the decor. This maximizes space and doesn’t interfere with your beautiful design.
