10 signs of an obsolete interior that looks tasteless

A shower, mirrors and a wall with a TV - do these objects dishonor us before the guests?

The fashion for this or that design of habitation is not so short-lived, as tendencies from the Parisian podiums. And yet - it's time to abandon the interior stamps that have taken hold on several decades, but have become synonymous with bad taste.

1. Shower cabin with many functions

And it's not just about models with a deep pallet that can be used instead of a bath. Models include lightweight structures with glass partitions and a minimum of buttons that need to be pressed to trite a shower before work. Hydromassage, a device for aromatherapy and a radio receiver today will not surprise even a millionaire.

2. Columns

Arches and monumental columns do not always appear in the apartment at the request of its owner. Most repair masters understand the "classical style" that is actively offered to the owners when choosing the design of the future living space. Apartments with a lot of rooms and high ceilings look like uncomfortable museum halls, small studios - trite grand pomp. And then, the columns interfere with the rearrangement of furniture and the change of design - it's impossible to turn housing into a loft for a couple of days.

3. Abundance of mirror surfaces

Nabivshy oskominu lifhak on the visual expansion of space with the help of mirrors makes many turn apartments "odnushki" into a real mirror labyrinth, creating themselves with the same problems. Mirrors should be washed often, because on glossy coatings, even a small spot will be noticeable. They cause psychological discomfort - for example, a ceiling reflecting the bed, according to statistics, often provokes sleep disturbances.

4. Curtains with Lambrequins

Another detail of the classic interior, which modern design trends consider appropriate only in pompous restaurants and museum facilities. Lush and multilayered lambrequins look kitsch, do not fit well with the details of the interior of another style and are incredibly problematic in nursing. They are considered an unfortunate way to decorate the interior - on a par with a wall carpet or a collection of Soviet figurines.

5. Neon colors

Pop art, which came from the 60s of the last century, even then raised questions about the psychological maturity of its fans who decorated the apartment with primitive examples of mass culture. In the 2000s, he left a trace in the form of a neon color palette and appeals in some interior magazines "not to be afraid of color". The apartment is a place for rest or a pleasant pastime with friends or a soul mate. Green cushions, pink sofas and blue electrician linens are too bright and dynamic to contemplate them every day.

6. Huge prints

Images of fruits, flowers or animals, increased several times have a frightening effect. With photo wallpapers, they were transferred to 3D floors and ceilings of apartments, whose owners want to be known as originals. This design seems modern, but in fact, it has nothing to do with natural harmony. It is clear that a peach the size of a human head looks more ridiculous than stylish.

7. Furniture wall with stand for TV

The furniture wall is a typical Soviet piece of furniture that was used at the same time as a stand for TV and storage for dishes, which was not used in everyday life. But it does not save space, but visually reduces free space, deprives the interior of functionality. It is better to replace it with hanging shelves and a niche for the plasma screen.

8. Large indoor plants

Live flowers are one of the most popular elements of decor. But if the compact phalaenopsis fits organically into minimalism, palm trees, lemon and orange trees in tubs will look like vestiges of the past. In the fashion - plants that benefit. For example, greens, cherry tomatoes or hot pepper varieties suitable for growing on the windowsill.

9. Ethnic style

In the 2000s, when the fashion traveled all over the world, it was considered a special glamor to "bring" the country you liked to home. This could be done with the help of objects of national color - wicker furniture, handicrafts, national costumes, carpets and masks. Low tables, carpets and an abundance of colored silks do not cause discomfort only among the Bedouins who are familiar to them.

10. Drywall

For owners of standard apartments gypsum cardboard in due time became the present rescue: with its help it was possible to transform radically the most boring interior. He literally created a "house in the house" with false fireplaces, shelves and niches. Gypsum cardboard imitation is the first step to a bad taste that has nothing to do with personality.
