OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

Published by Pallucci Furniture on 28th Aug 2023

Breaking free from old habits doesn't have to be a struggle. Unless you're an antique collector cherishing a valuable collection, outdated soft furnishings from the past can disrupt the overall aesthetic and ambiance of a well-decorated home.

The balance between form and function significantly influences interior decorating trends. While certain choices may seem appealing, they might not always be the most practical or suitable.

We recommend bidding farewell to the following outdated trends:

  • Discard the practice of covering sofas with blankets and fabric.
  • The trend of draping blankets over sofas, as if attempting to shield them from pet hair, dust, or unsightly stains, dominated the last decade. However, this approach no longer finds its place in a stylish home.

  • Say goodbye to beaded lamps and beaded curtains
  • With their origins in the 1970s, beaded lamps have inevitably become outdated. While they may have once exuded a classic and attractive appeal, they no longer align with the practicality required in a modern household. Their excessive adornments create a sense of clutter and chaos, and the constant jingling of beads when reaching for your bedside lamp can become bothersome.

    Beaded curtains originated in Asia in the ‘60s and were used as room partitions. However, their trendiness soon became an overwhelming annoyance, with tangled strands causing frustration.

    It may well be time to replace that lamp with something magnificent https://www.palluccifurniture.ca/lamps/

  • Abandon oversized ornate furniture
  • In the early 2000s, homeowners aspired to create an ostentatious atmosphere, even in smaller living spaces. Grand Tuscan-themed kitchens and huge wrought iron light fixtures hanging from vaulted ceilings were part of this trend. Similarly, ornately carved dark wooden furniture, such as chairs and four-poster beds, gained popularity. However, it has now become apparent that purchasing a bed that engulfs your entire bedroom is not the wisest choice.

  • Bid farewell to graphic patterned floor tiles
  • Like the tattoos of the '90s, some trendy choices are more challenging to let go of than others. This sentiment holds true for bold graphic patterned floor tiles, such as dizzying geometric chevron patterns. The problem with these tiles is that they can quickly become tiresome or clash with future design schemes. Additionally, the cost of retiling a bathroom or kitchen is substantial. Opting for an interestingly patterned mat is a better way to infuse color and vibrancy into your space.
  • Fake flowers and fruit have no place in your decor
  • The '90s saw the rise of fake flowers scattered throughout homes, but nothing compares to the real thing. Instead of investing in giant silk plants, opt for natural, low-maintenance plants that bring life to your surroundings. A couple of fresh bouquets strategically placed around your home provide the perfect touch of nature indoors.

    Similarly, fake fruit no longer holds any appeal in home decor. It only serves as a dust collector and needs more authenticity than actual fruit.

  • Lace is no longer in vogue
  • Lace curtains perfectly matched the frills and floral patterns of the '80s. However, they proved to be impractical as the presence of holes in curtains defeats their purpose. Lace, especially when excessively used, turned rooms into outdated spaces reminiscent of a bygone era.

    By bidding farewell to these outdated trends, you can embrace a refreshed and modern aesthetic in your home decor.
