Top 5 Decor Trends to Love or Loathe

While it's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we cannot deny the fact that there are things, we believe, look good and we don't credit others' negative opinion about it. Sometimes, the opposite happens. What others consider nice are the things we are not attracted to.

This is so simply because we have our own taste and preference in all things, including home decors. We simply have designs and trends we love and loathe.

Open-plan Interiors

According to Weekly Decor Rant, having open-plan interiors can be both advantageous and disadvantageous. Comments from the source imply that open-plan interiors can sacrifice one's privacy. For example, in the kitchen, some don't want other people watch them cook or hang out when they're cooking. Despite this disadvantage, one can have a more spacious feel in an open-plan interior and one can be flexible in the use of that open space. Some even prefer open-plan kitchens, saying this is a must in a home.

All-white Interiors

Fiber Element suggests that white is considered boring by many people, especially if they are cheerful and outgoing as they consider white as pale and dull. Besides, it is even more difficult to keep clean than dark colored items. It depicts cleanliness but maintaining its original whiteness could be difficult as the time passes.

Over-exposed brick walls

Apartment Therapy relates an experience of an occupant of a house with exposed brick walls. According to him, the brick walls were the reason he bought the house but discovered that the walls were only detrimental to their life. Brick walls emit heat in summertime and would crumble when touched. The cracks will be the house of centipedes that love its moisture. The cracks seemed difficult to seal up so the occupant ended up just giving up the lease and find another house.

The Memphis Design

Everybody seems to love the 1980s phenomenon, the Memphis Design according to Curbed. The Original Memphis was at its peak from 1981 to 1987 showcasing the postmodern '80s trends, namely, mixed materials, clashing and saturated colors, strong geometric motifs, among others. The Memphis Design is classic in essence yet the intricacy of its design makes it seem to look extra trending in the world of fashion and will never be outdated.
