Designers Are Tired of These 5 Overdone Decor Details – Here’s What to Retire in 2026 and What to Try Instead

A living room with two yellow accent chairs, a pink couch with lots of pillows, two large windows with red shades, and lots of decor on the coffee table and throughout the room.

The stack of untouched coffee table books that’s a carbon copy of your neighbors’, the wall art from the 2010s you’ve been meaning to switch out for years, the accent wall you’ve just gotten used to seeing – these are all decor details that could be bringing down the style of your home.
