Interior design trends can be exciting, expressive, and genuinely fun \u2014 but they can also age fast, feel overdone, and lock a home into a very specific moment in time. So when u\/indecisionprecision<\/a> asked<\/a>, “What currently popular interior decorating trends do you think will look super dated in 10 years?” people didn’t hold back. From finishes and layouts that already feel like they’re everywhere to styles homeowners admit they love but know won’t age well, here’s what people think (or hope) we’ll all be cringing at a decade from now:<\/p>\n

3. “Open floor plans may eventually be on their way out in favor of actual rooms again. Does anyone actually like open floor plans? The sound travels, kitchen smells travel, kitchens tend to lose a whole wall’s worth of cabinets, etc. If anyone prefers open floor plans, can you explain the perks?”

10. “Mid-century modern will be trending out \u2014 not just yet, but in 10 years, the current iteration of mid-century modern will be considered dated. Yes, some elements are classics, but it’s also been overdone, and people are getting bored with it.”

12. “Those couches that all look like they have no legs, like they sit on the floor. I hate that look. It just makes things look frumpy and messy.”

13. “Accent walls, especially those with geometric woodwork.”

16. “Beige or neutral everything. Colors from the 1970s are already starting to come back, but it will be a while before they trickle into mainstream American homes.”

18. “Rattan and wicker. I personally like these a lot, but I can imagine that it will be very 2020s in the future. I also want to say that trends are totally normal and okay in interior design. They’re just a fact of life in our culture, and there’s nothing wrong with having a living room that looks very au courant. Personally, I love looking back at old photos from the 1990s and seeing all those yellow oak cabinets, floral couches, and wall-to-wall carpeted basements.”

19. “Strict color palettes with a single accent color.”

21. “Millennial gray will come and go. Would you please send that memo to all the flippers? Ugh. It’s already completely out of style, but unfortunately, still being pushed via slogans, mottos, and words of inspiration in decorating. For some, it’s still current. For others, thank god it’s already in the dumpster.”

22. “I think the faux marble facade of quartz will fall out of style.”
\u2014u\/otnh<\/a>“In my opinion, real stone will always stand the test of time better than manmade. I’ve seen so many people ripping out lovely granite countertops and putting in quartz. I hope they love it for years to come, but it’s not the choice I would have made.”\u2014u\/southernandmodern<\/a>“But marble is not really suitable for kitchens. Quartzite is a natural stone. Quartz is manmade only about 10% of the time, and comes in hundreds of variations, but it’s absolutely incredible and suitable performance-wise in kitchens. Granite is beautiful but needs to be sealed and can stain.”\u2014u\/LopsidedTelephone574<\/a><\/p>\n

24. “This geometric and tan, beige, mustard, rust theme \u2014 like painting a brown triangle behind your baby’s crib. I’m not sure the name for this look, but it’s very church-y influencer with an Urban Outfitters flair.”
