Spend sufficient time on any of your social media feeds and also you’ll begin seeing among the similar items of furnishings, paint colours, and textiles dotting the pictures out of your favourite follows. Curvy sofas, color-blocked storage, that platform bedframe everybody appears to have. Whether or not the concepts are new or previous, these design moments can simply toe the road of “timeless” and “development.” And if you happen to care about steering away from the second class, it may be onerous to decipher the place issues land.
And with that in thoughts, there are some issues designers are (actually) excited to go away behind as we head into a brand new 12 months. And whereas we’re not saying it’s important to agree, it’s a great way to determine the place chances are you’ll need to spend your time—and design power—within the 12 months to return.

Skip the Recessed Lighting
Designer Tara McCauley and Alexander are on the identical web page on this one, in case you’re actually in search of a purpose to make a change: “I’d like to say goodbye to recessed lighting. Ornamental fixtures add extra persona and ambiance,” she says.
Ditch the Dupes
“I’m so prepared for design fanatics to throw the celebration of ‘dupes’ away,” says designer Noz Nozawa. “It is simply not life like to search out superb design items at too-good-to-be-true costs and not using a compromise in high quality or ethics—and often, which means an unique concept is being knocked off—which reduces the worth of a design to the price of manufacturing it, as an alternative of valuing the OG designer’s creativity.”
Bye, Bye, Bouclé
“Hopefully, that is actually the 12 months the white bouclé development ends,” says Studio Roene founder Julia Sobrepeña King. “It goes hand in hand with the minimalist all-white oak and oatmeal linen room, which I’m so uninterested in. I feel folks ought to attempt to have just a bit extra enjoyable—add a tiny little bit of coloration and particular person character (or quite a bit). We do not need our residence to appear like it was designed by AI.”

On the Flip Aspect…
“We actually hate to wave goodbye to something,” say Robin Heller and Jen Levy of Surrounded By Colour. “There’s one thing for everybody and when you have colours in your home that make you content then don’t change a factor!”
