I'm an interior designer. These 10 popular trends don't actually look good in real life.
An interior designer shares designs that look bad in real life because they age poorly/are hard to maintain, from dark wood floors to white cabinets.
While interior design trends may look fantastic in photographs, their real-life application often leaves much to be desired. Seasoned interior designer and television art director, I've observed that certain popular design choices seldom stand the test of time. Bold wallpaper and painted countertops are frequently cited as poor design decisions, as they rarely maintain their appeal over extended periods of use. Similarly, high-pile rugs, while visually striking, prove to be unwieldy and demanding in terms of upkeep.
