There are certain trends with such a tight hold on us that we choose to completely ignore the fact that they’re not the easiest to live with. They are picture perfect and make our homes look utterly cool and now, but they come with downsides. Light colored fabrics, delicate surfaces, impractical layouts… Too good to be true, it comes a time when as much as we might love the look, we need to let go of trends that don’t really serve us in the long term.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m the first one to fall for the latest and shiniest pieces of furniture and accessories that will instantly elevate the look of my home, but in time I’ve learned that balance is key and when it comes to passing trends, they’re best to be adopted sparingly, as a final touch, if you will, that’s easy to update, rather than a whole aesthetic you’ll get stuck with. Here are such impractical interior design trends interior designers advise to move past and tell us what to do instead.
