Outdated Home Features: Part 2 of 10 Must-Know Interior Design Tips

Interior design tips can often feel repetitive or even too modern. It’s also the worst feeling when you’re trying to design a custom home or renovate your house, and someone is pushing their opinions and style on you (even though it’s not what you want). The good news is here, at Katie T’s Home, you don’t have to feel that way. In fact, I’m designing my own custom home with ZERO experience in interior design. But if there are some things I’m good at, it’s researching, planning, and forward-thinking about the pros and cons of different design elements. So, if you want to uncover all 10 interior design pros and cons in this quick tip mini-series, then make sure you sign up for the newsletter below!! So, without further ado, let’s jump into outdated home features.

Outdated Home Features

The second quick tip in this mini-series is weighing the pros and cons of potentially outdated home features and why you may want to avoid this potential trap.

When evaluating the design of your modern farmhouse home, it’s important to consider current trends and how they can potentially outdate your home down the road. 

Features such as popcorn ceilings, old light fixtures, and carpeting were once in style and, now, not so much. If you like these features then, by all means, you do you!

For those who want to save themselves from potentially renovating down the road, you need to ask yourself if the current trends are something you like or if it’s something that you’re following because it’s the norm.

Now, due to supply and demand, you may be limited in some design features. However, I challenge you to find the balance between what is “trendy” and what you like.

Some home trends going on now include:

• Farmhouse, Boho, and Modern Styles
• Color Pallet: neutrals and bold
• Arches in hallways or furniture
• Modern/Geometrical light fixtures
• The organic look
• Beadboard/ board and batten wall ideas

So, the quick tip is to challenge yourself and determine if the current trendy home features become outdated, will it bother you? or will you still enjoy those home features?

Try to view the current trends in the same light you would with the outdated home features mentioned at the beginning of this quick tip section of the blog!
