No longer in fashion: interior solutions that are best abandoned

Today, many interior solutions are quite boring. They are found in almost every apartment, and therefore designers and architects have long considered them “familiar”, for whom it is time to say “bye” goodbye. Be sure to check if you are planning to use one of them in the upcoming renovation of your apartment.

Arch

The design of a doorway in the form of an arch has not impressed anyone for a long time. This solution used to be mega-popular, but it has already worked. However, it is worth admitting that the arch fulfilled its mission with a bang - it really transformed the interior, made it unusual, but caused surprise and delight at least ten years ago.

Now the classic is trending - a regular opening; you can do without the door leaf, leaving it open.

Excessive glamor

Too “complex solutions” both in layouts and finishes, as well as an abundance of decor - such interiors were popular in the 2000s (empire, baroque, ornate classics). Similar trends were often chosen in designer fashion, so the market, of course, began to offer decorative elements of the corresponding type - pretentious, flashy, overly shiny and bright. True, the quality of everything was not particularly different. Such solutions created “visual noise”, but this should not have happened.

No one is interested in ostentatious luxury anymore; functionality in design is important.

Now the trend is towards lightness, practicality, simplicity, conciseness and minimalism. And such principles are adhered to even in the most expensive projects.

Octagon with parquet

Tiles of ideal geometric shapes - both hexagons and octagons - are gradually becoming a thing of the past. It's time to give her her due and let her go. Designers find it particularly boring when such polygonal tiles are combined with parquet. Of course, this solution looks nice, but it is already happening too often.

Large prints

Fruits and vegetables on aprons in the kitchen, sea creatures on the tiles in the bathroom, huge buds on the wallpaper - such photo prints were frequent guests in the interiors of the mid-2000s, but today, ten years later, they are hopelessly outdated. Use tile stickers, sold on the familiar AliExpress, to hide prints and liven up your interior with modern patterns.

Carriage tie

For a very long time, no one considered this decorative technique “massive” until beds with a carriage headboard appeared on sale. Today, furniture and decoration using the capitonné technique are also on a kind of stop list for designers who work with the middle and mass segment.

It is better to pay attention to timeless classics. For example, Chesterfield sofas.

Spots

Built-in spotlights are now being replaced by spotlights, LEDs in channels, hidden points, and installed in trays. They try to avoid them by any possible and impossible means. The “pocket” has become simpler, now it is just a recess and light falling on a perpendicular plane. Or in your eyes, but blurred by an acrylic screen.

Plastic finishing

Now there is an organic and intelligent tendency to move away from everything artificial.Ecostyle is taking over the planet and doing it with particular success. Therefore, plastic must be abandoned, starting from the finishing of slopes and ending with the design of walls.
