06.01.2025 08:59

Fashion is known to be fickle. This statement is true not only for beauty trends, but also for interior design.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, what was considered relevant just five years ago may be perceived as outdated today.

No one argues that each person has their own opinion on this matter, but it does not hurt to take into account the following signs - they indicate that your interior needs updating.

Instead of bright colors - muted shades

Avoid flashy and acidic shades even in children's rooms. Instead, give preference to calm, muted tones. Complex pastel shades deserve special attention. If you can't give up the outdated trend for brightness, let it be present in the details.

Ditch the headsets

Instead of buying furniture sets for the living room or bedroom, try to express your creative side: combine different colors and textures, experiment with the sizes and shapes of furniture. As a result, you will create a unique space that reflects your personality, and not just a copy of the interior from a magazine.

Use a minimum of decor

If you get too carried away with decor, the room can soon turn into a dump or resemble a market. Stylish decor implies a small number of quality items.

Replace the shower stall

Shower cabins and hydromassage boxes not only look bulky, but also take up a lot of space and are difficult to maintain. They do not add aesthetics to bathrooms. A great alternative would be a built-in shower in the bathroom, lined with porcelain stoneware and separated by a glass partition.

Remove the photo wallpaper

A few years ago, photo wallpapers were very popular and were used to expand the boundaries of living space, but now they are considered an anti-trend. Combined coatings and natural textures are in fashion now: wood, stone, concrete and marble.
