Fashion trends interior solutions change every year, but every year completely updating the appearance of an apartment or house just to be on trend is pointless. But if you decide to start a renovation, then you definitely need to know which interior has gone out of fashion. After all, if you make mistakes in the interior of your apartment now, you will be able to correct them in a few years, and all this time your home will have a tasteless interior! Well, let's see which design has become an anti-trend.
Antitrends in interior design 2018
It’s rare to see an apartment or house where all the rooms are designed in different style directions, so mistakes in the interior of a residential building can be made even when choosing a style! In 2018, several style directions dropped out of the ranking of trendy interior solutions, so the anti-trends in interior design are the following styles:
- industrial;
- Scandinavian minimalism;
- baroque.
brick walls, concrete ceilings, an abundance of metal - all these are outdated techniques in the interior of an apartment, which are unlikely to ever come back into fashion. Yes, industrial design appeared not so long ago, and, yes, some of its elements will continue to be popular, but not in design residential buildings.
Scandinavian minimalism “demanded” white furniture against the background of white walls and ceilings, and as a result turned into a tasteless interior of Russian apartments. Modern design does not completely exclude minimalism, since with its help it is easy to turn a small room into a spacious one, but adding additional volume through white is an outdated technique in the interior that should not be used in 2018.
The desire to decorate spacious rooms has led to the fact that the Baroque style has turned into a tasteless interior of apartments. Ostentatious luxury, columns, stained glass windows - all this looks out of place in the context of modern interior design, and the most tasteless interior is a combination of all the elements of this style within a small apartment.
Anti-trends in interior design are not only entire styles, but also some individual elements. Thus, the latest trends in interior design in 2018 exclude the presence multi-level ceilings. If you want to zone the space of your home, then under no circumstances make separate closed premises, but use decorative partitions.
Interior design: anti-trends in furniture and interior decoration
Tasteless interior design may affect just one room in the house, but in the end, it will ruin the look of the entire apartment. That is why, before you begin renovation or decoration, you need to know what kind of interior has gone out of fashion for bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens.
Not fashion design bedroom interior 2018
The bedroom is a place to relax, the design of which is strictly individual. Everyone decides for themselves what the bedroom set will be, and this choice, in most cases, is influenced by the size of the space itself. And yet, mistakes can be made in the bedroom interior even if you choose the right furniture, and all because in 2018, standard sets became the anti-trend for bedrooms! Interior designers advise not to be afraid of experiments and use furniture from different collections. Of course, the combination should be stylish, because if you decide to choose a solid wood bedroom in combination with red plastic bedside tables and a yellow fabric wardrobe, it will look appropriate.
Anti-trends in living room interior design
The living room is the place where we welcome guests, so we always strive to give it a little festive look. However, as we have already said, fashion trends in interior design 2018 exclude ostentatious luxury, so the “Baroque” style should be immediately excluded. In addition, in order to avoid mistakes in the interior of the living room, you should forget about:
- Provence style;
- tropical theme;
- set in the same style.
If you look closely at the Provence style, it is not difficult to notice that furniture in this style, in its form, resembles baroque, although it does not have the most excessive luxury, but color palette, in many respects, coincides with Scandinavian minimalism. Considering that all this, individually, is not in trend, it is not difficult to guess that Provence-style living rooms are also out of fashion.
Flowers always have a place in the living room, but the tendency to decorate the walls with images of lush vegetation or place pots of ferns and palms throughout the room is a thing of the past.
Many people believe that if you choose living room furniture from different collections, you will get a tasteless home interior, but this is not at all true. Skillful combination various items will transform your living room from standard to trendy! In addition, in this way it is easy to place accents in the interior, but again, all this should be done with taste and if you highlight something, then only one thing.
Tasteless kitchen interior
Anti-trends in kitchens have affected almost everything - the colors of the sets, their shape, and materials. Thus, it has become even easier to make mistakes in the kitchen interior, for example, by choosing an unfashionable color. On the other hand, if you listen to the advice of designers, you can not only avoid them, but also choose a design that will be in trend for a long time, so when decorating your kitchen, try to avoid:
- pastel colors;
- plastic surfaces wood and marble;
- correct forms.
Pastel colors are gradually becoming a thing of the past, and they are being replaced by rich colors and even bright colors. It is clear that not everyone will risk choosing kitchen set in the ultraviolet color trend of 2018, but noble burgundy or fresh orange color will be appropriate in any home.
Imitation expensive materials often used in interior design, but if previously it was even fashionable, now it is a leading anti-trend! If you really want to be surrounded by wood or marble surfaces in your kitchen, then use natural materials, since tasteless apartment interiors are recognizable by plastic fakes.
Asymmetry has also reached kitchens, so regular shapes are gradually turning into an anti-trend. Also, long tabletops are no longer in fashion - they have been replaced by more practical solutions, which make it possible to arrange all the necessary things so that they are at hand.

Fashion trends, like the hearts of beauties, are prone to change! To avoid giving your interior designer a heart attack, read this article about what style directions no longer in fashion.
Naturally, adapting to fashion trends every year and completely updating the appearance of the apartment every time is stupid. However, if you have started renovation and decoration, then you should definitely know what kind of interior is now considered tasteless. If you suddenly make a number of mistakes in the interior, you will only be able to correct them in a couple of years, and all this time you will have a tasteless design, writes liza.ua. So-so idea...
Old trends are gone, and they are replaced by simplicity and conciseness. Today the main thing in design is to choose quality materials and furniture, finished stylish design where everyone do plays important role. The era of glossy ceilings and furniture sets has long since sunk into oblivion, we think everyone already knows about this, so we won’t talk about them now.
Loft style
Whether this will surprise anyone or not, the long-loved brutal loft style is no longer considered a trend. Moreover, it is no longer in demand. The fact is that there was so much of this industrial-urban style that people simply got tired of it. It is worth paying tribute to this style - it lived brightly and was everywhere: in small apartments and big houses, in various cafes and restaurants, beauty salons and studios. The eye needs something new, not brick!
“Clean” styles
The popularity of the “clean” style is decreasing. And all because it is already gray and dull. Create an interior adhering to strict boundaries, be it neoclassical, minimalism or Scandinavian style, this is considered not modern. Many leading designers recommend mixing - adding, for example, more colors to Scandinavian interiors or a completely different style. Interesting now more interior with character - you want lively and contrasting stylistic solutions.
Style trends such as industrial and baroque are also considered anti-trend.
Baroque
Lots of metal, concrete ceilings, brick walls, as well as abundant stucco on the ceiling and walls, waves in all forms, arches, columns - all this boldly goes into the furnace of anti-trends of 2018! All these are outdated techniques in the interior of an apartment. Some characteristic elements of the industrial style continue to be at the peak of popularity, but are no longer used in the design of residential buildings.
Primitive hi-tech
If back in the 90s this style looked very advantageous against the backdrop of boring Soviet interiors, now it looks no less tasteless than them. This applies to classic high-tech (simple geometric shapes, often angular). And all because housing with rigid forms of furniture has become too boring and uncomfortable. Today, they are being replaced by softening, fancy forms, and furniture must be transformed. However, everything should be as practical and convenient as possible!
Flashy colors, chrome elements combined with budget faux leather furniture, ordinary geometric shapes in furniture and space - all this is considered an anti-trend for 2018.
Pastels, pale colors and simple bright colors
Down with pallor and transparent plastic furniture! In apartment design, many designers use pastel and light shades identified as anti-trends. Rich or muted complex shades remain pleasing to the eye. Interior design trends are moving away from light gray and beige colour, and they are replaced by brass and gold, lavender color, velvet.
Luxury in all its forms or vintage “queen’s boudoir”
Luxurious carved chairs, bedside tables, curtains with a lambrequin - all this is considered bad manners and has nothing to do with fashion trends.
Using many colors
One of the most important parts in the interior is the color combination! Sometimes they choose a lot of shades that are incompatible with each other. And this is a mistake. It is important to remember that color can influence the state of mind, mood and train of thought! Choose your favorite colors, consult with designers and approach this issue with caution. Eg: White color in the interior can fill you with energy and keep you on your toes. However, too much of it can lead to irritability and fatigue. Yellow in the interior it provokes brain activity and promotes creativity. Pink - calm and security.
Interior elements you should forget about
Several elements that can spoil the design
Transparent plastic furniture;
Sliding wardrobes with patterns on glass;
Bright and inappropriate photo wallpapers, prints on the walls;
Tiles with the same pattern (stamping). These are not only tiles with flowers and patterns, but also marble-like, concrete-like tiles with a repeating pattern;
Neon lighting and multi-level ceilings;
Bulky kitchen units;
Wallpaper with a glitter coating (when you pick up such a roll, put it back, cross yourself, and move on);
Cosmetics and souvenirs scattered around the house (various jars, cosmetics, gift sets, toys, letters on the walls, dishes and souvenirs).
These shells are a real punishment. They can be washed even after each use. And wash not only inside the sink, but also under it, because... splashes flow down the walls. In addition, you will have to constantly monitor the water pressure, because if you turn it on harder, splashes will be everywhere. Small children will need to buy a special high chair, otherwise such a sink will be too high for them or it should be installed lower.
Freestanding clawfoot bathtubs
They look, of course, luxurious and elegant. But there are difficulties with installation, because such baths require large premises. Caring for them is even more difficult: a freestanding bathtub will most often have a glossy, non-porous surface that requires special means. In addition, due to the high sides, it will be uncomfortable to get out of such a bathtub. You will need to wash while sitting all the time, and if you want to take a shower, you will need a circular curtain to prevent wet puddles from forming on the bathroom floor.
Open shelves
Looking at photographs of interiors, we forget that before taking the perfect photo, the photographer or decorator changed the arrangement of objects 10 times to achieve the desired result. Therefore, when we see neatly and beautifully arranged dishes and cute accessories in the photo, we want to do the same at home. In fact, open shelves is a constant headache(especially if you live in a city where there is more dust). They need to be wiped constantly. And this means: remove the dishes, wash them too (they also become covered with dust), and then put them in their places. Yes, and a special surprise awaits those who decide to hang open shelves next to the stove. Then the surfaces and the dishes themselves will be covered not just with dust, but with a sticky and greasy layer of dust, which cannot be removed with an ordinary damp cloth.
Washing in front of the window
Perhaps every second housewife dreams of washing dishes while looking out the window. Every time you hear something like this: “I really want a sink in front of the window, it’s so nice to wash dishes and admire nature.” Yes, this is nice, just keep in mind that over time, and especially if the window is located close to the sink, you will not admire the marvelous landscape outside the window, but the drops and streaks left on the glass from washing those very dishes. They cannot be avoided, and you will start wiping your kitchen windows in just a couple of weeks. Alas.
Walls covered with slate paint
To paint walls slate paint, and then draw and write on them, is now very fashionable. Despite this, owners of interiors with such walls say that since they painted the wall with slate paint, they can no longer afford anything else. Why? Yes, because this type of paint is very difficult to repaint to a different shade. It's the same as trying to change your hair color from a burning brunette to a blonde. And to be completely honest, writing with chalk on such walls is not very convenient. Not at all like on school board, some dirty and unclear inscriptions are obtained.
Extended curtains
Yes, now they do just that: they allow the curtains to flow across the floor, making the canvas 20 or even 50 cm longer. And the curtains really look beautiful. But when it comes to cleaning, it’s not hard to guess how much dust and dirt will accumulate in these long hems. Well, what if there is a dog or a cat at home? Then there will also be balls of wool. So, be prepared to wash your extra-long curtains three times more often.
Interior design trends do not change as rapidly as in clothing. Much that was fashionable in 2017 remains relevant this year. Geometry, concrete, loft and minimalism are still popular, natural materials. But there are also some changes and surprising new items. For example, instead of emerald central in fashionable interiors becomes a brick-red color.
Red color always dominates over other shades and attracts the attention of others. When used correctly, it turns any room into a fun and cheerful space.
The motto of the year is “Only the essentials.” More and more attention is being paid to the practicality of the room and the functionality of filling the space.
