7. Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a way of decorating that looks good, but… in an office building! This style was really popular in the United States of America between the ’30s and the ’90s. Although it’s made a comeback recently, it won’t turn into a statement style.

If you are thinking of redecorating your home, and you don’t want it to look outdated or to have an office vibe, it’s better to stay away from terrazzo!

8. Wood paneling

Yes, we know that back in the ’70s wood paneling was fabulous and fashionable, but it doesn’t look good in a modern house. If you own a chalet in the mountains, this might work for you, because it will give the place a cozy vibe. Other than that, the whole trend is passé.

Usually, wood paneling can make a room look unhappy, gloomy, and dated. And let’s be honest, who wants to feel sorrowful all the 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.

    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!

    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
