Designers often claim that there's no inherently "bad" colors in interior design.

At the same time, some of them have higher chances of becoming tiring or annoying over time.

Therefore, think twice before using them while remodeling your house.

Harsh or overly bright white

While white is a popular choice for many interiors, particularly for creating a clean and modern look, using a harsh or overly bright white can create a cold and sterile atmosphere. 

Intense or saturated colors

Extremely bold or intense light colors, such as neon or vibrant shades, can be visually overwhelming and create a chaotic or garish effect.

It's usually better to use intense colors as accents or in moderation.

Clashing color combinations

Poorly chosen color combinations can create visual discord and make a space feel chaotic or unbalanced. 

Colors that clash or create an unpleasant contrast can be visually jarring and disrupt the overall aesthetic. 

Monotonous or dull colors

While neutral or muted light colors can provide a calming and versatile backdrop, using an excessive amount of monotonous or dull colors can result in a lack of visual interest or a drab atmosphere. 

Incorporating contrasting elements or pops of color can help bring life and vibrancy to the space.
