Fashion dictates its own rules, and interior design vividly reflects its changing moods.
Yesterday one thing was fashionable, but today it is already considered bad manners.
What is already going out of fashion: what details, tones and finishes are better not to choose?
The rigor of minimalism
Just a couple of years ago, everyone was decluttering their apartments to breathe in the spirit of minimalism and be modern, says Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti.
Although it is still in fashion, some nuances have emerged.
• Adding accents: bright paintings, flower spots in vases, plants in pots on the floor, a colorful curtain or a striking towel.
Few, but precise and noticeable. One, maximum two bright details for the entire visible space.
Glossy furniture fronts
It would seem that just recently this was the latest fashion. But what has it turned out to be in reality?
Constantly wiping away fingerprints and drops from the surface, constantly drawing your gaze to the reflection of light sources on the glossy surface.
Tired. Annoying. Matte surfaces and a choice of materials made from natural wood are back in their place.
It's like being in a museum
Marble table top, velvet chair seats, Venetian plaster.
Instead of enjoying beauty, it adds heaviness and weighs down any interior.
Replace the tabletop with artificial stone, and the fleece chair with burlap furniture. A little vintage can be left, for example, a painting in a slightly worn frame.
Factory loft
The style, which combines street and office atmosphere, is perfect for coffee shops and snack bars, but it already looks so stylish in apartments.
If you're not tired of the brick wall yet, paint it white and add some boho elements.
Stretch ceilings
This also includes composite panels for ceilings similar to office solutions.
Many LED lamps overload the light sources and strain the attention.
It's hard to concentrate when bright light is coming into your field of vision from all angles.
When preparing for renovation, choose a style that is closer to calm.
Such interior designs remain in demand for a long time, do not overload the space, and always provide the opportunity to introduce bright details and vintage accents if necessary.
