Shelf decor trends evolve over time, and what was popular in the past may not be as favored today. 

WHile it's still up to you and your preferences how to decorate your living space, some of these things won't probably benefit your interior a lot.

Here are some types of shelf decor that are generally considered less popular or outdated.

Overly Cluttered Displays

In the past, shelves might have been adorned with a multitude of small items, leading to a cluttered and overwhelming look. 

Current trends lean towards cleaner, more minimalistic displays.

Generic Collectibles

Decorative items like mass-produced figurines or generic collectibles that lack personal meaning have fallen out of favor. 

People are opting for items that tell a story or have sentimental value.

Too Many Books

While books can be great decor pieces, shelves overflowing with books can sometimes appear cluttered. 

The trend is to mix in other decorative items and leave some negative space.

Outdated Figurines

Decorative items that have an overly traditional or dated design, like certain types of porcelain figurines, are becoming less popular as people opt for more modern and unique pieces.

Cookie-Cutter Decor Sets

Pre-packaged sets of decor items that lack personality or individuality have become less popular. 

People are seeking out items that reflect their personal style and interests.

Too Many Family Photos

While family photos can be wonderful, an excessive number of them on display can make shelves feel more cluttered. 

Choose a few meaningful photos to showcase.
