In the past couple of years, we have spent more time in our homes than we have in the past 60 years. It became obvious that our interiors had to adapt to better serve our needs with smarter design solutions, technology and organization. Our new more home-based lifestyles have inspired some fresh decor trends we may see more in the future.

According to interior designer Lisa M. Cini, a new trend we see in furniture design in 2022 is customization. “When more people are using a space, having flexible furniture is key,” she says. Cini says it may be anything from coffee tables that raise up and convert to a worktable to dining tables that transform into family-friendly tables to seat as many as 10 people.

Moreover, “The old tried and true Murphy’s bed is back and better than ever before, allowing you to have a full bookcase on the front, a dining table, and with a simple turn and fold down (not having to remove anything on your bookshelves), it converts to a full bed,” Cini argues.

One of the most popular interior and lifestyle design trends, hygge, which became a hit throughout the world in the last decade, is likely not going anywhere either. Cozy spaces still reign on social media, where much of the interior design content is dedicated to this particular style.

This is largely because hygge, unlike other interior design styles, not just makes our homes look good. It rather creates a lasting feeling of safety and comfort, something we all lack outside our homes in these uncertain times.

No other walls in the kitchen because on one side is the dinning area and the other side is the living area. It's too open and to make things worse you get maybe 2 upper cabinets and maybe 3 lower cabinets because the appliances and sink take up most of the space. I can see where people might think it looks nice but it's completely not functional and gives such a small amount of storage.

Yes! This!🙌. Vynyl/acrylic are effectively plastics. Neither last forever and will both flake off over time. We have been conditioned into laminating buildings in coloured plastics.

—The New Construction Home... a bunch of random styles mashed together cheaply, usually some sort of gray with brown, a cheap looking garage plopped in front, and lots of open space inside, few walls

—The Flipper Special, dystopian gray s**t everywhere, arguably tied with the above for the title of World’s Tackiest

—The super bright white with some black and silver “could work as a background for THX-1138” interior

—Houses that look beautiful in the front but are just a gray vinyl blob in the back

—Abstract “modern” homes with tons of glass and right angles. Actually probably not, most people seem to love this sort of house and they’re usually really expensive, but I think they look like s**t

Encaustic tile is having a moment but it’s too much of a pattern to have real staying power and will be the Tuscan kitchen of the 2020s. I think huge giant tile will also go off trend, not because I dislike it but just because it’s a particular look and looks cycle out.

I really hate the houses that look like someone started with a Tuffshed and then took a bunch of Sketchup shapes and just mashed them together on the facade.

Adding brick facing on the front of the house but using vinyl siding on the sides. Like, if you’re going to use fake brick, at least make it convincing.

These are all a bunch of personal preferences, with just a couple of legit points (i.e. decor with words, subway tile, all white/gray interiors). To top it off, some of these decor choices have been around for years, if not decades, but they weren't as popular until now. So basically this is a list of people hating things just because they are popular.

69points

Brivid 2 years ago

I agree, with a few exceptions, a lot of these suggestions are just straightforward snobbery. Most people cannot afford to change tile, kitchen cabinets, paint colors, etc just because they are not popular with the fancy house magazines anymore. Some people, like renters, don't really even have a choice. This just seems so shallow and judgemental when people all over the place barely make enough money to cover rent.

I have two pieces of very special art that I love, among the other things on my walls. One is a multimedia piece with sheet music and pressed flowers that says "May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary - Xan Oku." Repeating that quote in hard times has saved my life. The other is a piece of original art by a friend referencing book titles, I finally make enough that I was able to support her and the local library by buying it at their auction. If a realtor (or anyone else for that matter) told me I had to get rid of them because they have words - I wouldn't have either of them in my life anymore.

There seem to be a number of posters talking about clients, so I assume at least some of the posts come from professionals, people who have studied these trends the same way that fashion designers know what color will be popular years in advance, rather than just personal preferences. How do I know the difference? Because they often gave specific reasons for their opinions. But, since many people react to the first notion of what they think they read, they are quick to comment in ways that show they gave no consideration to what the OP actually said or meant. Geez, people, if you feel the compulsion to comment on every single post that you see, at least give the topic a couple of seconds of thought, first.

Got bored of reading because either things are on the list because someone just doesn't like them, or they are so American they aren't relevant to me (wtf is a mcmansion?)

So many opinions, my house and I don’t give a s**t. Life is too short for this.

Retitle. Interior designers explain why they get paid too much.

I think by the time you collate and take out all the design factors people have strong opinions against you literally would not have any colors or materials left to make a house with.

This is so funny. In other words, EVERYTHING is ugly. What a wasted post.

"I straight-up flash my "better than thou"-views: If I don't like it, you shouldn't like it either." There. Much better headline. Bunch of effing snobs who attributed to this list.

To what do you attribute your annoyance of others stating personal opinions? 😉

I'd be interested to know what these designers DO like. It'd be a short list.

Please tell me what market in the USA is selling even McMansions in the $200,000s. I haven't seen a decent home in the $200,000s in at least 4 years.
