9 Awful Kitchen Decorating Trends Designers Can’t Wait to Leave Behind in 2022

6. Overloading the space

This happened to a lot of people, especially those who have a small kitchen. A lot of us tend to add too many islands and countertops, believing this will increase productivity, but this will completely defeat the purpose. Why? Because if you have a tiny kitchenette, you won’t be able to move around it, and the cooking space will also be limited because of all these ugly islands.

The designers’ advice is: Don’t overload your space with unnecessary things! Keep it simple. How big is your kitchen? Tell us in the comments.

7. Light and white palettes for wood and cabinets

Many homeowners no longer embrace the once-common all-white home design. Designers are eager to watch what colors and patterns emerge next as the appeal of monotony diminishes. Who knows what 2023 will bring? Maybe some people are not ready for a fresh start, and they’re stuck with these ideas since 2010 or more; however, it’s time to move on.

Maybe we should switch to other colors like gray or dark brown, because these two can easily match any wall color, even in warmer tones.

Are you ready to enter 2023 in style?

    Oh, really? What will you replace this with? Or will you just have bottled gas stoves and ovens send out all kinds of deadly fumes?

    Thanks for these tips. Considering opening the kitchen into our TV room somehow or with a “Bar” peninsula in between but appreciate the thoughts on the kitchen smells. Also I put white/gray subway tile surround in our new 7 foot tub master bath and shower and love it and the kitchen remodel is next….I see the subway tiles as kitchen backsplashes in a lot of my HOME magazines…curious to think that will look dated! 🙂 Thanks again!
