4. Tile countertops
Tile is usually a material you would find on your kitchen or bathroom floors, but somehow it managed to become the 1970s kitchen counter trend. Tile countertops were a hit in the 1970s, but if you would prefer to keep your space current and modern, it is best to leave this trend in the ’70s.
In addition to that, it’s just really hard to clean. Avoid the stress of not cleaning it properly, and stick to more modern and nice-looking materials, such as granite or marble. Let’s just leave the tile on the floor, where it belongs!
…Have you ever had tile countertops?
I have a corner by my fireplace where a fake palm would be ideal to go with the Hawaiian blue and green upholstered chair located on the other end of the room. The reason I say fake is the corner where the palm plant would be gets no light whatsoever and you don’t grow plants without light. Now what? Thanks, Mary Ann Coty

These styles hit on the money for me. I think at one time or another I’ve used them all. And, at the time, I really liked them. However, like you said, you simply get tired of the *trend* after looking at it so many years. My happiest decor ideas have always been to use what I like so long as I’ll be able to change it in the future WITHOUT breaking the bank. Then I can really enjoy what I love at the time knowing it’s not a ever-lasting look. It’s just a moment in time!
One thing needs to be changed. Plants do not use up oxygen and put out carbon dioxide. It is the exact opposite, and it has been proven that having certain plants all through your house actually clear out contaminants and allergens. Drs actually may recommend that you put some in your bedroom, as they oxygenate and purify the air. If you wake up with headaches after sleeping with a plant in the room, you most likely have some sort of allergy go that plant. I am not saying put 25 ferns throughout your home, but having plants in your home can be quite beneficial.
I agree wth you. Plants do not take in oxygen. I wonder where they got that idea from? Plants are excellent for purifying the air. There are some plants better than others that do this job.
