We asked: what interior design decision do you regret making in your home? And your answers were eye-opening

We’ve all been there, getting excited about the new ideas and looks, only to soon discover that some of them either become dated too quickly, or they're not very practical. While small styling elements can be easily changed, sometimes there’s that one big design decision they make that is just too complicated to undo.

So because interior design trends come and go fast, they asked their community on Threads what interior design decision they regret making and they could definitely relate to a lot of the answers. Read and learn from others’ mistakes and make note of what trend is best to avoid in your own home.

We totally see the appeal of dark color schemes. They look smart, elegant, and expensive. However, it turns out that while a very popular trend, dark colors are not always the most practical choice.

The kitchen was the main area of the home discussed on Threads with most of you being in agreement that dark cabinets or black kitchen countertop ideas were not always the best choice in terms of ease of use and maintenance.

‘Black granite top in kitchen and on the kitchen island! Big mistake…. Any little stain or dirt shows in the worse way possible,’ Little Tudor Diary tells us.

Black gloss kitchens also seem to be out of favor with fingerprints so easily visible. Plank Hardware commented about ‘handle-less kitchen cabinets’ as an absolute no, for the same reason of leaving finger marks everywhere.

Instead, they like the kitchen hardware trend for organic brass pulls, that catch the light and look super-interesting. Anthropologie sells this perfect example.

When it comes to wall paneling you told us that painting paneling in black, while it might look good, shows dust very quickly. That’s one sure way to completely cancel the elevated look one might have been aiming to achieve by using dark paint.

Got it. Dark surfaces and no handles are definitely ideas to avoid in modern homes that need to look good but also be easily kept clean. The home today should be synonymous with comfort. Having areas or elements of your house that you need to constantly clean, or you can’t touch because they easily mark is the opposite of comfort.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard shared his thoughts with us on having a home that is comfortable, with rooms that are suitable for multi-use and can take the wear and tear of everyday life. ‘Bygone are the days when they had these stiff drawing rooms and formal dining rooms. Today, it's much more about creating a flow and creating a space that is your own. That is inviting. That becomes your personal sanctuary and becomes a place where your friends and family come and feel the most comfortable and most welcome.’

Ultimately it’s about making sure that whatever design decision you make, you can feel at ease using your home without the fear of having to permanently clean it, or be careful not to damage it. A home is meant to be lived in and enjoyed, and that is what modern living is all about.

We asked: what interior design trends are you just not on board with? And some of the answers surprised us

Some design trends are timeless, others are a flash in the pan, but I've been known to obsess over both equally in my time. The accent color wall? Had their day. Oddly-shaped vases? I’m still here for those. Matisse-style drawings? I'd say they're done and dusted.

The catch with obsessing over one trend so much is that it's easy to overdo it, and they all know how the story goes: from ‘love you’ to ‘I’m so over you’ at the speed of light.

With their new Livingetc Threads account now open, they got curious about what interior design trends their followers are just not, and never were, on board with. Here's what just a handful of you said.

Now, this one might not surprise you - the creamy, buttery color definitely had its moment under the sun, but magnolia walls are largely confined to life as a thing of the past. The eighties and nineties to be precise. But is it though?

Judging by your messages magnolia is a definite no, but it’s had a rebrand and a refresh, resurfacing as part of their love for decorating with neutrals and natural-looking designs. Lighter than the classic magnolia, they now call it a yellow-based off-white - however, what goes around comes and around, and I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of these yellow-based neutrals come to the forefront of design shortly.

This classic off-white has a warm tone, and has been a favorite of more traditional spaces for a while, but they see it becoming a more modern choice before too long, too.

We've already asked interior designers for their verdict on whether they should chop pillows, and the answer wasn't an out-right no, but it continues to prove controversial.

It’s still going strong for some who want their styling to look ‘just so’, but you told us you prefer a more relaxed look. The karate chop feels a bit too over the top these days and a  bit out of touch with the latest couch pillow trends. In a modern design, it’s time to let pillows be.

A classic solid throw pillow never goes out of style, whether you're pro chop or not.

Teal has been awarded Color of the Year status by paint brands before and it enjoyed a lot of attention in 2018. Made up of two very calming colors that nod to nature, green and blue, they can see why it’s been so popular. However, for interior stylists Bea Lambos, who you can find on Threads at @beaandcostyle, it's a no-go. 'Teal anything. Just. Can't. Do. It', Bea writes.

Right now, teal doesn't feel like a color that's getting much love by interior designers.  Blue replaced it for a while, and now we’re seeing designers really loving warm, natural greens instead. There are so many colors that go with green too, so it's an easy-going color to use at home, too.

Shades of green are inspiring designers more than teal right now.

Living room with sofa and plant

We’ve all been there at some point. Small ivys, an assortment of little cacti on the shelf or coffee table. There was a time that wall-to-wall plants in small containers were what everyone was doing.

In 2023, some designers say scrap that. 'Little indoor plants like Devil's Ivy,' says interior designer Lauren Li, of Sisalla Interior Design (@sisalla_interior_design on Threads). 'I'm so over it. Big trees only please.'

While they are on board with a carefully curated plant selection, they tend to agree. Bigger plants make a room look more expensive and really create that outdoors-in vibe we’re still loving, so keep an eye out for the best indoor trees instead.

A terrazzo floor in a minimalist living room

Terrazzo flooring and tiles were a huge interiors trend a little while back, but it appears it hasn't held up to scrutiny in some of its uses. Interior designer Emily Finch (@emilyfinchdesign) says, 'I love it when it's appropriate (like, in Italy), but not all over every bathroom.'

It's fair to say that the most popular answer to their question was all about the all-grey-and-white interiors that are so often used in modern new builds, with their followers asking for a bit more color in their spaces.

However, interior designer Rebekkah Davies (@rebekkahdaviesid) had a counterpoint of being tired of 'color as a virtue. Lots of colors is not for everyone,' the designer says. 'Doesn't mean they're not "brave" or "bold" or even fun - it just means they are people who don't like lots of color.'
