Even the \u201890s (just 10 short years) gave us whiplash, starting with hyperminimalism which then descended into an explosion of jarring patterns that was the stuff of nightmares.\n\nWhile some trends thrive, like midcentury furnishings, others fall out of favor, like avocado colored kitchen\/bathroom appliances\u2014good riddance!

Popcorn ceilings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/In-Post-Bottom-Left-Dark.jpg\" alt=\"popcorn ceilings is a bad interior design decision\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\n\nUnlike some of the other trends to follow, popcorn ceilings aren\u2019t so easily replaced. The removal process is lengthy and messy so some homes still sport the cottage cheese ceilings, albeit with shame. Dust and dirt cling onto the rough and uneven surface. Even the most ambitious of cleaners are discouraged from attempting to clean these torrid dust traps.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Shag_carpeting\"><\/span>2. Shag carpeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe retro look finds new life in niche markets, but even the bravest shy away from shag carpeting. Wall-to-wall carpeting used to be a sign of luxury (before the \u201850s, it was unaffordable for middle-class families). The aim was to create a comforting, homey feel, but as moms everywhere discovered, it was a nightmare to clean. It was disastrous to vacuum as the wool fibers would get stuck inside the cleaners. While we can understand why carpets had their moment, we can\u2019t understand how shag carpets found favor in the \u201870s.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Toilet_cozies\"><\/span>3. Toilet cozies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Design-In-Post-Bottom-Right-Dark.jpg\" alt=\"toilet seat cozies are a terrible interior decorating trends\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\nThis category encompasses the toilet lids, seats, and the mini rugs that hugged the base of the toilet. Yes, bathrooms can feel a bit sterile, cold, and hard, so an honest attempt at making the space more comforting is appreciated.However, these cozies made a bathroom feel cluttered, and most importantly, unhygienic. It\u2019s hard not to look at these accessories as breeding ground for bacteria in such a humid environment.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Cabin_Fever\"><\/span>4. Cabin Fever<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFew man-caves exist today that are quite as overtly masculine as that questionable cabin fever theme. From the taxidermy hunting trophies lining the faux-wood paneled walls to the animal-skin area rug, this trend was just awful. What\u2019s more is that the appearance of such a macho space corresponded with an equally awful frilly women\u2019s lair. With the decline of strict gender roles comes the death of extreme gendered decorating.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Tiled_countertops\"><\/span>5. Tiled countertops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/In-Post-Bottom-Right-Light-1.jpg\" alt=\"tiled countertops in a decorated kitchen is a bad fad\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\nIn 2014, tiled countertops saw a brief resurgence in popularity\u2014 but thankfully, it wasn\u2019t a widespread trend. One of the downfalls of having tiled countertops is the difficult grout-cleaning when tomato sauce inevitably spills. If you\u2019re looking for a way to shake up the d\u00e9cor in the kitchen and a marble countertop slab doesn\u2019t speak to you, other options are out there. For example, the concrete countertop is seeing some light these days.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Kitschy_furniture\"><\/span>6. Kitschy furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWith the tagline of \u201cSo bad it\u2019s good\u201d, this trend can\u2019t possibly go wrong, right? Think of something akin to Buster Bluth\u2019s famous giant hand chair in <i>Arrested Development<\/i>. Like his mother, Lucille, we want to see that chair and anything similar, out of our homes. Kitschy furniture is often bought for novelty, but novelty items don\u2019t often age well. Yes, they can be nice conversational pieces, but they likely won\u2019t go over well with the in-laws, and too much is just plain bad.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Themed_rooms\"><\/span>7. Themed rooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/In-Post-Bottom-Left-Light-2.jpg\" alt=\"nautical themed room interior decorating\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\n\nWe all enjoy the annual family trips to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But what makes it magical is the fact that it\u2019s a once-in-a-while treat. Themes aren\u2019t inherently bad, but it\u2019s a territory that you must tread carefully. The worst thing to do is go overboard. You\u2019ll end up with a room that resembles a meticulously staged movie set rather than a place for comfort and relaxation after a long day\u2019s work.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Mirror_and_metallic_furniture\"><\/span>8. Mirror and metallic furniture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nMetallic furniture with mirror-like finishes can still work in some contexts if used sparingly. Like with all things, less is more. If you overload your home metal accents, it actually cheapens the look of the place. Mirrors have a place in every room if they are well-placed and help brighten the space. But this isn\u2019t a free pass to recreate the house of mirrors that graces every cheesy carnival.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Mixing_and_matching_wallpaper_in_the_same_room\"><\/span>9. Mixing and matching wallpaper in the same room<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/In-Post-Bottom-Right-Light-2.jpg\" alt=\"ugly wallpaper is bad interior decorating\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\">\nThe overuse of wallpaper is well-documented in our retro TV shows. Every so often, wallpaper enthusiasts go overboard and end up mixing and matching clashing wallpapers in the same room. Somehow it caught on in decades passed, but no more. The overstimulation from even stepping into a floral-pattern-bombed room is enough to drive any teenager outside for some fresh air.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Inflatables_and_water_beds\"><\/span>10. Inflatables and water beds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nFrom inflatable chairs in the living room to the horrific Hugh Hefner-endorsed waterbeds, these novelty furnishings are not worth the hassle. Waterbeds weighed over a thousand pounds on average, and filling them up included bringing in a hose from the backyard. We don\u2019t even want to talk about the giant mess that ensues when they spring a leak\u2014cue Edward Scissorhands clip.\n<h3 align=\"center\"><em>These trends are clearly not going to be seeing a resurgence anytime soon.
