If you want to modernize, update and refresh Here are some outdated trends that you should consider removing or changing from your home’s decor.
#1 ) Faux/Silk Greens & Accessories on top of Kitchen Cabinets
Also known as “dust catchers” better to toss. If your look depends this type of decorating streamline and only out a few pieces and modernize. Maybe some succulents rather than overstuffed ferns.
#2) Overstuffed Curio Cabinets filled with collections. Cramming cabinets with loads of china or collectables is over stimulation. Weed out & limit the pieces you want to display - less is more.
#3) Tile Countertops. Not an easy fix but if you still have a ceramic tile countertop it may be time to renovate. Grout lines are hard to keep clean and the grid grout lines look dated. Opt for quartz (man-made) or natural stone. Read our Countertop Article to help understand different countertop options and help determine what would be best for your home.
#4) Hard Blade Vertical Blinds…..this window treatment style is so dated one of our main shade manufacturers discontinued them in 2022! You can still opt for a vertical soft treatment like Hunter Douglas Luminettes….But the hard blade, plastic-style vertical blinds are really out of date looking…
#5) Sponge Wall Painting…..Ok I have to admit I did this myself in the 90’s….This is now way out past it’s prime. An easy fix with a new coat of paint!
#6) Water Beds - Can’t imagine that one of these would still be in working order but if you have one time to upgrade to a new non-water mattress. In the 90's didn’t everyone know someone who had a waterbed?
#7) Fake Fruit Decor - Ok, I think most of us had a grandma that had a bowl of faux fruit on the table or countertop. Today only fake food should be found in a model home! Swap that faux fruit for fresh!
