Trends come and go, and only the best ones stay for a longer time or come back - that's a general rule.
Interior trends of the past weren't always amazing, and some of them were pretty controversial to say the least.
Let's look closely at them, so you can learn from other people's mistakes and never make them on your own.
Beaded Curtains
In the 1970s, some homes had curtains made of strings of beads. They looked interesting but often got tangled, and people found them annoying.
Popcorn Ceilings
Many homes in the 1960s and 1970s had textured ceilings that looked like they had popcorn on them.
These were hard to clean, and some people thought they looked ugly.
Wall-to-Wall Carpeting in Bathrooms
Some homes in the past had carpeting covering the bathroom floor.
This was a bad idea because carpets can get wet and become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
Overly Busy Wallpaper
In the 1980s, wallpaper with really busy patterns, like lots of flowers and colors, was popular. It could make rooms feel chaotic and overwhelming.
Flocked Wallpaper
This type of wallpaper from the 1950s and 1960s had a velvety texture. While it looked interesting, it collected dust easily and was difficult to clean.
Conclusion
Most interior mistakes of the past were made because people didn't think about how hard it would be to clean their houses.
Try to make your interior not only beautiful, but also practical!
