Old-School Home Trends We Seriously Miss

Why did we ever ditch these home design gems? Real wood stairs, front hall closets, tall ceilings, and even laundry chutes—people are begging for these "outdated" features to make a comeback. Forget gray everything and glass showers; give us cozy wood, dining rooms for family time, and built-in storage! What retro home trend do you wish would return?

The Home Design Trends I Think We’ll All Regret Sooner Than We Think

Honestly, some of the home design I’ve seen in friends’ houses or even in my own past projects already feels dated very quickly. Like, painting over brick in solid grey or white is a big one. Unless the brick is truly ugly to begin with, staining or limewashing usually keeps the texture and charm. A flat coat of paint can make it look more like a toy than a home. Or electric fireplaces are another example. Where I live, power outages happen every year in storms. If the fireplace can’t work when the lights are out, it’s basically just a decoration. Then there’s the whole open bathroom trend with no doors and giant freestanding tubs. They’re awkward to get in and out of and a nightmare to clean behind. Showers without doors just mean water everywhere and slippery floors, which is dangerous for anyone, especially kids or older family members. And finally that whole Pinterest-inspired trim overload. Adding trim or paintings in the middle of EVERY wall, EVERY room, so annoying What do you think of these? I bet you also have some opinions on design choices that are bound to be outdated 😂 You know how annoying those designs are #HomeDesign #InteriorTrends #DesignFails #HomeDecor #RenovationTips #Home

A sun-soaked paradise in the Pacific Northwest—this model home has everything I've been dreaming of! ☀️🏡

After three months of house hunting in the U.S., I finally found a home that truly stole my heart last weekend. This model home in Vancouver, WA, is a perfect blend of design and functionality. The large floor-to-ceiling windows fill the space with natural light, a rarity in the often rainy Pacific Northwest. The pure white marble countertops paired with an open kitchen layout are simply stunning. The high ceilings of the living room add to its grandeur, and the private lake view from the yard is the cherry on top. The location is unbeatable, with top-rated schools nearby and no state income tax in Washington. Plus, it's just a short drive to Oregon for tax-free shopping. This 3,367+ sqft home features 5 bedrooms, 4-5 bathrooms, a 3-car garage, and two stories. It's located in the beautiful Vancouver area, and I plan to explore more homes in the region every weekend. What do you think of this dream home?

Would You Live in a Mega-Mansion?

Ever seen a house so big it feels like a hotel, but only a couple people live there? One Canadian mega-mansion, once listed at $15 million, has been sitting empty for years and now costs just $5 million. People online are roasting its wild design and calling it a waste of space and energy. If you want to save money (and the planet), maybe skip the mansion dreams and check out tiny homes or solar panels instead! #RealEstate #HomeDesign #Sustainability

Stuff Designers Secretly Wish You’d Toss

Ever look around and wonder why your place feels off? Designers spill the tea: it’s probably those fake plants, way too many throw pillows, or that old rug you keep tripping over. The pros say ditch the matchy-matchy furniture, extra mirrors, and heavy curtains for a vibe that’s more chic, less clutter. Ready to level up your space? You might be surprised what a few small changes can do! #Home #DeclutterTips #HomeDesign

Why black front doors are always in style

Black front doors are having a major moment, and it’s easy to see why. Just look at Sarah Jessica Parker’s classic West Village brownstone—over a decade later, its black door still looks effortlessly chic. Experts say a black front door is like the little black dress for your home: timeless, bold, and always in fashion. Even if you’re not ready for a full repaint, adding black accents or planters can instantly boost your curb appeal. With searches for ‘front door inspiration’ skyrocketing, it’s clear more people are making their entrances stand out. Would you go bold with black? #Home #HomeDesign #CurbAppeal
