From avocado bathrooms to gray carpets and bulky entertainment sets, I can name a fair few styles that define each generation. At the time, most of these iconic design features seemed original, a fashionable move that felt exciting and innovative. Today, however, some of these distinctive styles feel more like interior design faux pas, sending shudders down the spines of the generations that grew up with them.
Plenty of interior design trends feel like time capsules. Take midcentury modern style homes, for example; they're a shining example of design from the Baby Boomer generation. While many of us love the retro nostalgia of this aesthetic (I think it radiates contemporary coolness), I'm sure many of the Boomers who lived through it are more than over the trend. The cyclical nature of trends probably leaves whole generations thinking 'no, not that again.'
