Even experienced interior designers are guilty of embracing trends that they later regret it. All this can be very attractive to use a particularly that simply pops up everywhere, even if you are worried about it that it is perfect for your location or style in a long time.
Here, two professionals spoke to five different design trends from 2025 to 2025 to have never followed and why. Take it as a lesson from experts, which is not just to talk about things including extreme neoclassical design, too much graduation, and more.
Neo -classical everything
Nick Smith, the founder of Stamford’s Smithers, wishes he did not go with everyone Neoclassical lookWhich he saw trending everywhere at the beginning of the year while designing a high-growing apartment.
“It seemed that the Roaring ’20s were digitized and sent to us through Pinterest,” they say. “I fell hard for this.”
Smith was eager to embrace elements including Lacuard Emerald cabinetry, smoked mirrors, and symmetry brass inley to play perfectly for this beauty, but he found that his customer did not feel at home at the finished place because it felt untouchable that felt untouchable.
He wishes in retrospect that he focused on the vibrancy of the house as much as he thought of staging it.
“Learned lessons: Aesthetic indifference is only successful when it reconciles with comfort,” Smith says.

Smith has completed many Grase space This year alone – overall – and he is eager to move beyond the look.
“Grass, in his omnipresent, became a design police-out,” he says.
Instead, Smith has worked hard to embrace the color since coming for this feeling, playing with the Navy playing with the burnt orange and the dusty plum.
“Customers are again responding emotionally,” the designer says. “They are feeling something in their homes, and it matters more than timeless neutrality.”

Many designers are excited to go with all Bold roof This year, the option to paint a bold color to the fifth wall of the room or cover it in a pattern wallpaper.
Designed in a dining room, Smith chose to go with a black and gold flower roof, complete with a matching rug below. However, he quickly found that the look was very intense – this designer is now the belief that one roof should compete with the rest of the place.
“Especially in small rooms, visual weight overhead created a feeling of compression instead of height,” they say.
In addition, Smith says, the process of installing wallpaper overhead is quite complex and is worth survival if possible.
Fast furniture
Smith wishes that she was not so hurry to give pieces of Instagram design trend and fast furniture that started popping up everywhere.
“While access and quick satisfaction were appealing, these pieces often lack longevity and true quality,” they say. “We finished with spaces that felt dated quickly, and the environmental impact of constantly changing furniture is definitely weighing me.”
Smith now in many senses of the word, firm to invest in timeless pieces, refer to high quality pieces that reflect previous as well as those who reflect permanent styles.
Temporary shelves

The founder of Chulha and Honey Homes, Margi Caycare has learned over time Temporary shelves Always the best is not the best one-set-all solutions despite their streamlined form. For one, she says, they are not all practical or durable in the high-crown parts of the house.
“Because they rely on wall anchoring without fully floor support, they can put long -term tension on wall framing and fasteners, potentially compromise stability over time,” says the kitchen.
She says that another issue of such shelves is limited storage space, which often does not appeal to customers.
