Antitrends in the interior: what styles and techniques have lost relevance in 2019

Fashion is always changeable, not only in clothes, but also in interior solutions and styles. Of course, here fashion trends do not change every year, and yet, over time, they also gain new features. When planning to make repairs, it is worth exploring the “antitrends” in interior design in 2019 in order to keep up with fashion trends.

Furniture Sets

Until recently, furniture in the living room and bedroom, identical in style and color, was considered a sign of good taste. Now headsets of the same type are out of fashion: they have been replaced by products with a unique, individual design.

Set out of fashion and modern furniture

Experts advise combining furniture of different tones and even styles in one room, for example, pick up bright chairs with drawings to a plain table. An ordinary heavy sofa should be replaced with an elegant couch or a couch with wicker armrests, and the overall bed with a light ottoman.

Ceilings in several levels

Formerly stucco molding, massive multi-level ceilings were at the height of fashion. Now they belong to the category of “antitrends”, especially those that include several steps equipped with LED lights. Simple ceilings cost the owners much cheaper, so this opinion of fashion designers gives a chance to save.

Canopies and volume curtains

As with ceilings, heavy velvet curtains and other types of curtains are out of fashion. The same rule applies to canopies, including over a crib. It is recommended to replace frills, ruffles, lambrequins with stylish, light and simple in design blinds. Textiles should be selected taking into account the general style of the room. Cotton and linen fabrics of natural shades are in the highest esteem.

Heavy classic

Classic-style apartments are gradually losing relevance. Heavy columns, gilding, elaborate details, especially in small rooms, look unnatural. Modern styles crowd out the classics in its “heavy” version. Light, unobtrusive design of apartments and minimalism in details are in fashion.

Rustic

Rustic style reminds country - it also implies a rustic design, but is more rude, includes poorly crafted furniture, uncouth elements. If you go too far with such accents, housing will look strange and repulsive.

It is better to combine rustic with soft, plush and fur elements, eco-friendly materials and not abuse the imitation of rural life.

Lettering and stickers

The time for posters on the walls, cabinets, various large photographs and stickers has passed. Modern fashion dictates different conditions: it is better to use not too catchy prints, drawings on the walls, small photos in frames or real paintings on canvas to make the room stylish and attractive.

Brick finish

Loft style, of course, is still in trend, but with some reservations.Brickwork is still considered suitable for decorating public spaces, business centers, cafes and restaurants, but you need to be careful with apartments.

Loft in its purest form is not worth using here: It is recommended to remove the red brick, replacing it with masonry of a light, pastel shade or even white. Also, do not completely decorate the walls with decorative brick - just one or a couple of accents, a wall, a separate zone is enough.

Geometry and Chevron

Wallpaper with a geometric pattern is already frankly unfashionable, especially when it comes to diamonds. Chevron, diamond-shaped and hexagonal ceramic tiles for floor and walls are also considered “anti-trend”. The more popular are rounded shapes, monotonous design and elegant prints in small quantities.

Plafonds and luminaires of geometric shapes

Geometry has lost its appeal to designers, not only in finishing materials. The lighting system in the house should also correspond to the fashion: in the trend - soft lines and smooth transitions. The chandelier can be any size, but not too massive. Built-in lamps gradually lose ground, because they are able to visually change the space, and not always for the better.

Rounded pieces of furniture

In furniture, oddly enough, geometry still takes place. Rounded shapes are more comfortable to use, but out of fashion. Square, rectangular furniture with sharp corners looks more stylish, profitable. The more glass, plastic, metal and other unusual elements in furniture, the more relevant it is.

Minimalistic white walls

Monochrome interiors always looked rather boring, and now they have completely moved to the "antitrend" section. Designers warn: light walls and furniture are much inferior to compositions that involve mixing styles and tones. Instead of white paint for the walls, it is worth using other pastel shades, introducing muted contrasts and interesting accents.

White gloss

Shiny tiles, white glossy kitchen furniture are no longer related to modern interior fashion. Matte shades are now at the peak of popularity, and the white color in the design of the rooms successfully combines with other shades of pastel colors. Nevertheless, in small rooms a moderate amount of gloss can be used, because it visually increases the height of the walls.

Ostentatious luxury

Trying to put on display all the best and immediately - the wrong position. Luxury for show is not a modern trend, and you should not confuse with it the classic style in the interior. If before the abundance of expensive things reflected the status of the owners, now it only demonstrates a bad taste. Gold, silver, crystal are good for hotels, but not for apartments and houses, where beauty should be expressed in simplicity.

Photowall-paper

Murals came out of trendy interior elements 5-10 years ago. Despite the apparent revival of the room, they outwardly overload it, make it heavier, look bulky and oppressive.

Too flashy tones

The presence of many bright spots gives the room a tasteless, negatively affects the well-being and psychological mood of a person. Such a technique looks especially bad when decorating a bedroom, a nursery.

It is better to use pastel shades that will never go out of style, and use juicy colors accent. By the way, an element of the same color, but of a different texture, for example, beige brickwork on a beige wall, can become a spectacular detail.
