Home decorating trends come and go, and we should be happy about that. Have you ever jumped on a trend that you have regretted before? Perhaps you got stuck with a wall color that you once thought was cool only to hate it a few years later.
That must be the case with these home decor trends from the past 30 years we would all like to forget.
Remember that trend in the '90s where everybody was knocking down walls to create that perfect open floor space? Well, what's wrong with walls?
I recall stumbling upon these room dividers back in the day. Ha, ha. I liked them but then again I didn't understand the purpose of them.
The '90s seemed to be all about matching. But to match your sheets to your bedroom walls is crossing the line if you ask me.
Honestly, I'm not a fan of pastel colors especially when it comes to home decor. Having a pastel-colored bathroom makes me want to throw up lol.
I dunno how or why "country kitchen" ever became a thing. All of a sudden everything was about ducks and chickens and grandma-style chic. Not cool.
Speaking of kitchens, another not so hot decor trend that came out in the '90s was everything plaid in the kitchen. That was just overkill.
Not to be outdone by the ducks and plaid, the orange pine cabinets came out in full force. I absolutely hate that look. Do you?
Just when you thought ugly cabinets and matching bedroom sets were bad enough, then came the mismatched border wallpaper. It usually distracted you from ugly yellow paint.
Why? Tell me why would anyone think it was a good idea to put a full-on carpet in the bathroom? That is so unsanitary and gross.
While the '90s brought you the life of excess the early 2000s went the opposite way. Now the decor trend was nothing. Like nothing at all. Really?
Of course, nothing looks better in that empty minimalistic space than a giant aquarium, right? That just says "home" to me. LOL! I'm being sarcastic if you can't tell.
In case you didn't know, shiplap decor style is like so 2016. So if you've got this, it's time to redecorate. Welcome to 2020!
I understand the appeal of this trend. It's definitely useful but I've seen it so many times I'm totally sick of it. Next!
Yes, technically purple and yellow are complementary colors but that doesn't mean you should decorate your home with them! Monica was able to pull off these colors in the '90s but I don't think it would fly today.
Or do you have another one you absolutely want to see go away like now?
