A selection of outdated design solutions for the home

Fashion is capricious, and even in a relatively conservative, at first glance, interior design, it slowly but inevitably makes changes.





Many design samples, relevant 10-15 years ago, in a modern house already look ridiculous.





In order not to invest effort and money in the interior, which by the time of completion of construction or repair will have time to become obsolete, "Site" It offers to get acquainted with the list of interior anti-trends 2020.

Modern interior of the house
  1. Photo wallpaper
    No matter how good your wallpaper is, designers strongly recommend not using it. In fact, this is a budget imitation of painting on the walls, which looks good only in large rooms. The only place in the house where such an element of decor is justified is the children's room.


  2. linoleum
    If you decide to make repairs in the apartment, then you will surely face the question of what to put on the floor?



    Due to practicality, low price and a small selection of alternative options, linoleum has long been very popular.

    But today he capitulated to an arsenal of new, better flooring. We can say that in 2020, linoleum went out of fashion and is used only in kitchens for budget repairs.

  3. drywall
    Multi-tiered ceilings, complex arches and curly partitions made of drywall are one of the signs that the last renovation in your apartment was carried out 10-15 years ago.



    In most cases, such things have no functionality, but they take up a lot of space. This is especially bad for small apartments. Designers now prefer to leave corridors without doors at all and, of course, without arches.

  4. Furniture walls
    In the old days, having a furniture wall was a matter of prestige. This set was placed in the hall, where it occupied more than a third of the space. The sections kept everything in a row: books, dishes, clothes, textiles, toys and much more.



    Although many years have passed, and fashion In the apartments of many people you can still find these “ghosts of the past”.

  5. Colored ceiling lighting
    According to most designers, the hit of the 2000s - multi-level ceilings with colored lighting - is hopelessly outdated.



    Much more modern and functional solution will be spot lamps and spots (lamps with rotary plafonds), as well as hanging lamps, especially relevant for the interior of the loft.

  6. Soft kitchen corners
    This is another “relevant” interior item from the 90s and a sign that the furniture in your kitchen has not been updated for 20 years.



    Today, simplicity and practicality are in fashion. You can replace the outdated sofa with a comfortable stylish table and low chairs.






Tiles on the apron in the kitchen
The apron in the kitchen mainly performs a practical role, protecting the wall between the upper and lower cabinets. Even 10-15 years ago, almost the only option for its design was ceramic tiles.



Today, the apron is given special attention. Glass, mosaic, metal or stone allow you to stylishly and practical decorate the most noticeable place in the kitchen.

If the time for repair has not yet come, then hand painting will help to give the tiles in the kitchen a completely fresh look, with the features of which we have already familiarized our readers.

Computer desk
A massive computer desk with many shelves is long overdue to replace a neat table with several wall shelves next to it. This is especially true for those who have already abandoned a personal computer in favor of a laptop.




Fashionable interior - It's not an end in itself, of course. In the pursuit of fashionable ideas, do not forget that in a spectacularly renovated and furnished apartment you will not only be photographed, but also live.
