For as long we've had great design, there have been bad ones, too. Loose boulders on staircases, see-through toilets, windowless curtains—the list goes on.

So in an attempt to figure out which of them have become the most popular, Reddit user u/uwfan893 made a post the platform, asking, "Interior designers, what will this generation's version of shag carpeting be?" And they happily obliged, sharing all the trends they would love to see gone.

Of course, it doesn't mean that if your place has anything they mentioned, it automatically becomes tasteless—a lot depends on the execution. Plus, your home is your castle. You can make it whatever you want it to be. It's just a take on the general landscape.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones Sh***y bathtubs. I grew up in a 100 year old house. It had a nice bathtub with a sloping back so you could comfortably lounge in the bath. Modern tubs are pretty nearly straight up on the back so there's no comfortable way to soak, smoke a joint, and read a book.

This should be higher up. Clawfoot tubs were wonderful. Whose dumb "innovation" made bathtubs impossible to soak in? Most of them make it difficult just to get half your body submerged.

We contacted u/uwfan893 to ask more about what inspired their post and the Redditor was kind enough to reply. "I saw a Zillow listing where the kitchen was obviously done in the '80s and it got me thinking about what would make a future Zillow-er say 'This house was remodeled in the late 2010s," u/uwfan893 told Bored Panda.

"There's an aspect of keeping up with the Joneses, but also sometimes trends actually do look good. That doesn’t mean they won’t be obviously of a period later," they added.

Even though beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's important to live in a place that reflects you, there are some universal guidelines to ensure the space will feel good even after the fads pass.

"The most common mistake we see is fun, interesting pieces of furniture being the wrong scale or functionality," interior designer Emilie Munroe told Lonny. "Finding furnishings with an aesthetic you love is way less tricky than making sure the piece is a physical and lifestyle fit."

Before you add anything new to your space, simply take out the tape measure and write down the dimensions of both your room and the furniture you already own. See if they go together.

But even if the numbers look good, you might want to avoid buying into boxed rooms. Picking out matching furniture might seem like a good idea for anyone who wants to save time but, in reality, it's often anything but swoon-worthy.

"Walking into a home that is a carbon copy of the store where everything was purchased is just weird," Abbe Fenimore, founder and principal of Studio Ten 25, explained to the same publisher. "Plus, the space will have no personality and most of the pieces will most likely be the wrong scale."

"Take the time to find pieces that you love, and be open to mixing and matching trendy and classic elements in the room."

Also, when it comes to decorating your space, slow and steady wins the race over spontaneous and quirky.

"One of the worst mistakes people make in their interiors is buying impulse pieces without a game plan for the room's layout and function," interior designer Dana Wolter added. "We also always need to consider if the scale is right, and whether or not it's a quality item that you will want to keep long-term."

Whatever you're eyeing, take a moment to really consider it. If you're perusing an antique or consignment store, for example, ask a sales associate if you can hold the item in question. Get to know it. Feel it out.

However, when you're developing your vision, remember that you don't have to push all of your furniture against the walls. There are more viable layouts to arrange your sofa, coffee table, and media center.

"It might be fine for a smaller room, but like Kool and The Gang used to say, 'Get your back up off the wall,'" interior designer Taniya Nayak said. "In a large space, pull the furniture closer together to be more conversational. If you can't reach the coffee table or if you need to text your guests from across the room, move in a little."

In all fairness, that is not a design trend in housing so much as it is an artifact of lot size. You need a significantly larger lot to accommodate a wide concrete drive that swings around to the side or back. The front-facing garage is more economical, convenient, and cheaper to landscape.

When you know the principles and what your decisions lead to, it's easier to achieve the look you're going for. Even if it means breaking convention. "I personally like warm cozy spaces, and don't like a lot of the open floor plan stuff going on now," u/uwfan893 said. "If I'm relaxing on the couch, I don't want to be doing it in the room that also is my kitchen."

But to each their own. And that's the beauty of design. It can serve us all.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones Why is everything so damn bland? Why is white and grey the popular colors? Whatever happened to color? Why can't we have living rooms wallpapered with big bright flowers, long suede couches in deep fuchsia? And, mile-high blue carpets that you sink into when you walk? Whatever happened to walnut paneling and colored subway tile in the bathroom? Whatever happened to delicate stenciled flowers on the inside of the bowl of the bathroom sink?

When did we lose our personalities? I just want a house that looks like a manic-depressive toddler version of myself was set lose in a JoAnn's with a limitless credit card.

It’s also a huge pain in the rear, greys and whites are the hardest stain colour to work with. Trend’s not done either, I just did a consult with another cabinetmaker a couple months ago because he couldn’t get the damn grey stain to work.

Oh, and sandblasting is only slightly less common and actually makes it even harder to apply. Not to mention to clean.

I adore the original hardwood flooring in my house. The previous owner had installed garish mauve carpeting over it and didn't mention the beautiful, untouched hard wood below. When we tore out the carpeting to put in laminate flooring, we were beyond delighted to find we only needed to give the existing wood a good waxing. It's given the house a large upgrade in the charm department.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones Not really a "new trend", but I've never understood mounting TVs high on a wall or above a fireplace. Not only is it a bad look to have a TV displayed like it's a piece of art, it's also very uncomfortable to watch TVs that are above you. TVs should be at eye level when you're sitting. I think the trend is finally dying, but it keeps cropping up in houses I visit.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones I've seen several homes with appliances integrated into the construction of the kitchen itself. Not just in an alcove but actually built into the wall. Sure, it's convenient that there's a fucking cappuccino machine built into the wall next to the cabinet over the center island countertop. But what happens when (not if, when) it needs maintenance? Do I have to call a goddamn carpenter as well as a cappuccino machine repairman? Do I have to consider if this is a fucking load bearing wall that contains my broken appliance? And something that's just a convenience like that is one thing, but they do it with stuff like fridges too.

They install that with this in mind - there are (or should be if install by someone who knows what they are doing) simple ways of removing the panels for maintenance.

Okay but everyone having their own bathroom is awesome if you can afford it.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones Humongous kitchen islands. I'm only 5 ft tall and I have to walk around the entire thing to get it clean. It's just too big to be convenient.

Add to that open shelves instead of cabinets. I'm sorry my boxes of pasta and cans of soup are not going to be attractive no matter what I do with them.

I also want separation between the kitchen and the living space.

I guess I just hate modern kitchens...

Those islands are also a major pain to those of us in wheelchairs. Taking up valuable floor space in the kitchen that we need to get around. If you want a place to eat, go into the dining room and utilize the table dedicated to just that.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones I am not an interior designer but I cannot stand the whole “farmhouse chic” trend and can’t wait for it to go away, it’s everywhere. What’s everyone going to do when it becomes dated and they can’t sell their homes bc it looks like an effing farmhouse? Also like someone stated above I don’t think the open floor plan is something that’s going to last forever.

Small homeowner here, knocked out the wall between the kitchen and living room, installed breakfast bar. Best move ever, kitchen is no longer a dungeon, house feels 2x as big.

Interior Designers Share What Modern Home Trends They Find Annoying, And Here Are 45 Of The Worst Ones I’m still training in kitchen design for a retail store and in my short time in this department I can tell you everyone wants white shaker-style cabinets. EVERYONE. I’m so sick of doing basic, unimaginative kitchens. The white in-stock shaker-style cabinets are also our biggest sellers. In-stock cabinets are complete trash and fall apart if you look at them wrong.

Well I'm sorry you're bored at your job, but crazy designs get old pretty quickly so it's no wonder that most people want simple things. Especially since most of us are stuck with those choices for a couple of decades.

I doubt this is a trend that rich people choose over actual hardwood. But as a halfway step to freshen up the place quite cheaply it's not so bad in my opinion.

dont mind them in tight spaces as they take up way less room than a swing door
