These 8 Overplayed Home Trends Are Officially Out for 2019

That hyper-stylized, hyper-minimalist look where you’ve got few (if any) books actually on your bookshelves? Decidedly on the outs, folks. (Bring back the books!)

This decor mascot of contemporary preppiness is looking pretty darn tired these days. (Blame the blogosphere.) Look to natural woven pieces like wickers and rattans for equally breezy but also timeless vibes. 

This safe pairing was the de facto go-to for post-recession kitchen renos. But these days, you need not go boring and monochrome to feel classic. Consider painting your cabinets a bolder neutral—like navy or matte black—and mixing in some warm-toned hardware (helloooo, aged brass drawer pulls.)

Let’s be honest here: One wall of paper feels like an abandoned experiment. Go maximalist (all four walls, baby) to keep your space looking modern.

Fixer Upper is over (boo hoo). But #bless, so are giant clocks and faux-rustic signage.

Mini succulent gardens in geometric casing had their moment. But they’re looking very “college dorm room circa 2010” nowadays.

Hygge-chic? So 2016. What’s haute for the year ahead? Making your bed like a grown-ass woman, damnit.
