2022 TRENDS that are GOING OUT! HOME TRENDS you should AVOID! 

This is exactly right. Why would I decorate on trends - when that will be outdated quickly? I have enough stuff. Any style can look good if it's done with thought as it reflects your style and how you want to live and express yourself.

Spot on! ❤️

Yep seems extremely ridiculous to follow trends for your *home* literally bringing outside noise into the one place that should be reserved for self and full natural self expression

Thank you! It was so refreshing to read your viewpoint. Trends are often expensive so finding creative and affordable ways to decorate while still looking somewhat current has become a bit of a hobby. I’ve found that repurposing and up-cycling is much more satisfying and personal than the latest “catalogue showroom look.”

Well...then how else would she continue making money off this truly original content?! 🙄

especially true if you live in an apartment.

I feel like this lady is always out of touch I don’t enjoy her videos. She Sounds condescending, I hate the sly tone in her giggle like Nothing she says is funny but trying to be “relatable”.

@@susmithasunny1423 then don’t watch her.

@S video, we watch type of videos with the intent of learning things... And I agree, some of her videos are interesting but others are so out of touch and condensing. I have the impression that they still don't know what type of audience they want reach.

Very true due to the cost of everything still being so high & different lifestyles. To be fair, she is catering to the upper class which didnt really have to recover at least financially from the pandemic, not the average person. The majority isn't able to change from trend to trend. C'mon a gallon of Sherwin Williams paint is around $50-60.

That is literally exactly what she said...

Right?! I also don't own a farm house to go visit. Lol

@@baileydavis5336Let me be more clear, I don't think 'multifunctional room' is a trend. At all. It's meant to be a practical necessity. So in that sense it's going 'nowhere'.

No kidding. Not all of us have massive homes, etc. That we have the extra space that is flexible to use how we want. Most of us have a room that serves multiple purposes. Office, workout room, guest bedroom. That won't change for many of us. Most of us live in smaller spaces. 😉

Absolutely!

exactly!! as long as everything goes together and you like it, theres nothing wrong with it

The most sensible comment ever in an interior design video.

Oh no. What style does bland 2010's stucco dictate I do on the inside? 🤣 Definitely chose my home for the space and floor plan, not the exterior which I kinda hate.

Agree, I honestly think homes exterior do dictate what the inside should be to a certain degree. Otherwise, it looks like a weird remodel. It’s out of place like 2 different socks. If you want your inside a certain way then the exterior needs to change as well.

@@cbpd89 In a way a 2010 stucco is a neutral palette. Express your tastes, but don't try to make it look like something it's not. I love some magazine homes, but I have to remind myself that I live in a desert, not in Vermont

She said that. 👍🏼

💓

Totally agree. I just saw a room online with a federalist china cabinet and a midcentury round dining table with glam chairs. It looked great.

I absolutely agree. I'm not a follower either. I decorate with what I love not someone else. Anyone that is constantly changing their homes to keep up with trends..might want to reevaluate themselves imo. Be humble,content, stay true to yourself,surround yourself with what you love and pictures of your family instead of cold art

For me it's helpful because I know now that it will be a lot more difficult for me to find things, and affordable ones, for my style since the trend is over.

Yes. Correct. I am an artist and can appreciate art and culture and all the nuances of design. And I don't know if I agree with the notion that the Maximalist style is overdone anymore than the neutral/modern style with its carmel/or white sofa and striped rug or taupe/cream throws, wood accents, textured plain art with stripes of black/cream/white and throwing in some neutral pillows or adding in a green plant and calling that adding color. (Lets not even get into the bedroom with the plain white duvets or white walls, neutral tones and taupe throws, or simple design rugs, etc.)Or adding a textured clay vase, or sculpture maybe a black accent wall. I find these styles bland and boring, but safe. Very over done. And yes like creating a beautiful complex piece of art it takes great skill and in-depth study and contemplation(trust me--it is not unusual for me to work with 15 or more shades, tones, colors of paint to create one piece of art--that is how you get depth to piece and make it coheisive). The Maximalism style is hard to pull off. I am not a designer, but can appreciate the difficulty some design styles present. But unless you have a keen eye for color and design(or can afford to hire a designer)you can really miss the mark when you pull a room together with this style. Which is why so many people choose a safer route of neutrals and classic designs and are afraid to embrace color. Believe me when I say that even professional designers(and artists)when doing a more challenging design(or say art piece) can fail at the attempt. The Maximalist style or styles that are similar can utilize all spectrum of colors and furniture(old and new) art that is modern or traditional--textures. But that it is all the same? That is like saying a Monet painting is the same as a Picasso. Because of the difficulty in pulling off that design in my limited knowledge I can say with confidence that I have as well as other artists(even at the highest level of skill) can work countless hours on a piece only to fail and start over. But we have a passion for what we do and that makes it all worth it. And when it works! Well that is everything... And when you make someone happy with the finished product...it is very rewarding. Be it a more complex design style or a piece of art. So that is what matters. 😊

There’s another designer (Nick Lewis) predicts that maximalism will be making somewhat of a comeback because some people are getting tiered of minimalism. I say do what is YOU. 😊

@@mrnt1257 I follow his channel which is very good as well as Garrett Le Chic. Garrett gives good practical advice. And he is not afraid of using color. Also he has a degree in design. Both channels I would recommend for good practical advice. XO McCenna is also good(more traditonal)as well as Lone Fox for more current trends--great design tips.

Kimberly Tran...You've got it!! You expressed it so well. As a designer but mostly as a person who exemplifies your description, artistic, art lover as well as lover of beautiful rugs, music, family ties and influences...those are all things that infuse our homes with our personal style. I believe our homes should be like our fingerprint, our style DNA , unique to us, that nobody else has! Sounds like you've got it!!

I agree! Love some lux jewel toned rooms

Agree...I have mostly warm, neutral and textural elements, but I made some throw pillows out of gorgeous and colorful Chinese brocades and silk saree fabrics and I love the little bit of jewel tone punch those give when thrown on to a neutral piece of furniture or neutral bedding.

I see Glidden just chose a green-blue jewel tone, Vining Ivy, as 2023 Color of the Year. It's lovely for the right space.

Agreed. I don't mind neutral tones as a backdrop, but I need a little color to bring the room to life. Nature is full of color, so I want to bring some of that into my home.

Maybe we're the "neutral/minimalist background with touches of color/pattern/interest" crowd:)

I love seeing it but in my home I would get sick of it in a few months, I think. Ask me over for coffee. 😁

Same same! My main rooms are monochromatic with color in plants or art etc, but my smaller, more personal rooms make you feel alive in all the right ways. It started with our new home after the pandemic and 2 hurricanes. We were living in a camper and received help to get us in a mobile home. I let my kids pick the color of their rooms to make them feel more optimistic and personalize it. I. LOVED IT. My 6yr old daughter picked yellow. YELLOW! I wanted to run and hide but did it anyway. It’s bright, highlighter yellow and she has rainbow-light “curtains” with sheer drapes. We put jewel toned butterflies in clustered flight patterns all around. She has a night neon rainbow bedspread and a cloud lamp. I have never felt happier in a room in all my life. My 13 yr old picked bright neon green and a deep suede blue (two opposing walls green, the other ones blue). We put a 5 arm metal lamp with diff color led flood lights and painted the moon phases on an arc in the corner of his room starting on one blue wall and going to the other green wall. The moons are in chalk paint so he can write himself notes. He’s also got a large silver, seated wolf statue, howling at a framed piece of full moon art that says “Just a Phase” and wow I LOVE the mood it sets you in. Our master bedroom has an entire chalkboard wall where the bed is against it. I draw diff headboards any chance I get. I’ve learned to draw amazing flowers and I hung two giant Edison style pendant bulbs from ikea and I mean huge egg shaped dark glass bulbs that glow Amber at night with the giant filament. This is my least colorful room because I needed it to be calming, but it’s always interesting with chalk art. I draw my side, the husband draws on his side. I have beautiful flowers and my husband has a giant wizard arm reaching down with a finger extended like it’s tapping him on the head. It’s so absurd and yet so fun. The kids bathrooms is done in a red and black flannel, log cabin feel with rustic wood and red/black checked lodge style shower curtain and geometric deer/bear heads as art on the walls. It’s to help them remember the trip we all took once to Great wolf Lodge in TX. It’s an amazing space… Our master bath is soon going to be a deep deep peacock teal with wood accents as frames around windows, doors, and showers. I also have a copper and gold metallic pen that I’ll use to stencil in a fun line art pattern. Plan on finishing it off with boat hooks (like to wind rope on to secure sails, etc) as towel hangers. The counters are a faux white marble and I’m painting a giant nautical compass in the center of the ceiling. I’ll never ever go back to a boring, colorless house again LOL this place literally breathes new life into us ever day.

Count me in the jewel tone tribe, i love full walls of jade green and flashy colorful print clothes.

Totally agree. Surround yourself with what brings you joy.

I'm split on this, too. I enjoy both.

So true! We live in a 1,420 sf house, and with 2 kids and 3 bedrooms options are limited. So it all depends on the size and necessities rather than the trend at this point. No other option but to have the “office” in our master.

@@omaryvelez6264 and your situation is why I try not to complain and work very hard to keep it all in these four walls. It is just two of us here…can you escape to the roof at least?? 😂

Same. Every room in our 1,000 sf upstairs village apartment as a family of two Adults and teenager and a toddler is packed full and multipurpose out of sheer necessity. No homes in our price range due to STUPID rates, bloated home prices and lack of inventory.

@@omaryvelez6264 Check out Room and Board - they build quality furniture that has a drop down option for the desk (similar to a murphy bed) so that when you are done for the day, you just pop your desk top back up and it looks like a normal piece of furniture with home decor pieces on display, etc. Mine is several years old now but they have custom feature options in their current plans (or could possible refer to an older style).

Darcy Gresty...Yes!! I love hearing the comments so many people are making and their descriptions of their own personal styles! The last time she did one of these "what's out" videos, I got into "comment conversations" with several people from multiple countries, Australia, UK, etc. that were so fun! I felt like I had visited their charming and unique homes just from their vivid descriptions of their personal "digs"! There really are alot of kindred spirits on these forums and it's kind of like having a "pen pal" (from days of yore! Back before social media and the internet!) or a friend you've never met personally but feel like you know! It's a great aspect of these channels!

I know me too! I'm thrilled to finally be getting my own office! I've had multi purpose rooms my whole life.

MAL...There may be quite as few people who dont remember much from the 60's. Particularly the late 60's🤪...! Little humor there! 😂👍!

❤️ "studio McGhee" home! So sick of that I hardly go on Instagram.

I completely agree. A home should be a reflection of the people in it. I don’t care to have a strand of beads in a bowl just because everyone else does.

There nothing better than a cozy, lived in, home. One filled with family heirlooms and unique vintage finds. I am also tired of the ultra curated, studio McGee, show home, vibe. At least have a mix. Studio McGee mixed with unique pieces that show your own personal style is great. I personally love vintage wood carvings…of anything, as long as it’s interesting. I also love vintage Haegar pottery. There’s nothing better than a vintage Haegar vase done in matte black with drip glaze (look one up on eBay) it’s PERFECTION! At least throw in your own personal faves and interesting finds.

Thank you🙏 - their neo-farmhouse is 💀

Totally agree

Yes, I love the front doors! Can we see them from the outside and what a difference it made to the home❤

Sonia's Rangel...Love it! With something to sip on!! Be it coffe, tea or a glass of vino!!

@@s.wilson2702 Yes exactly! Now I need to find a cozy chair for reading that won't take up a lot of space. 😊

Yes, I love purple but it's not easy to use IRL.

Do people really care about the color of the year?

I feel like there are always bad examples for design styles... so I can really picture your home looking good. As long as everything goes together I feel like it can look stylish

I absolutely love 70s home decor and I feel out of all the decades this one is the most timeless especially the furniture. I’m currently in the process of picking out new furniture and 70s is what I have in mind, I’m naturally drawn to it

Me too!

@@SarahJones-un9xh yay!! 😃

Thanks, we just got them two weeks ago. We ordered them almost a year ago, but they’re worth the wait.

Can we see them from the outside?

Who really has a tax accountant lol

LCD g...not sure what you meant by your second sentence. To me, real (personal) style is what IS personal and special. My 👍was for your last statement.

@@s.wilson2702 Sure, whatever.

Leticia Nelson...Amen to that sista'!! Couldnt agree more!! Great advice!!

Yessss!!!!!!

Exactly!

How can you laugh in such way, I wish I could learn from you

You might like the Australian modern coastal style. Fresh and contemporary.

I think decorating homes with a nod to a seaside or lakeside location is certainly not necessarily a trend. That style has been around for many years.

@@oliviahope9848 thank you, I’ll check it out!

@@rneustel388 thank you, yes you’re right! That makes me feel better!

@@mbens9995 PureSaltInteriors does coastal style to perfection in my opinion! Australian modern coastal is good too although a bit too much white for my taste. There’s also the Hamptons style you can always fall back on!

If I were him, I would have been thrilled do mix something beside a white, gray or beige....over it! We need color, joy, personality, etc. in our homes!
