Beautiful in Pictures - Disappointment in Everyday Life: Interior Trends Not Worth Repeating 0 3

Interior trends are constantly changing, and the internet keeps throwing new ideas at us that make us want to tell the designer, "I want it all." However, there are details that look stunning in renders but quickly become a source of irritation in real life. Below is an honest analysis of popular solutions that are better thought through twice before including them in a project.

Illuminated Baseboard

It looks futuristic and visually "lifts" the walls, but such a baseboard doesn’t last long. Any unevenness in the floor creates a light line with interruptions, and dust becomes almost the main accent of the room. Such lighting requires regular maintenance and careful living – otherwise, the "picture" effect disappears within a couple of weeks.

Glass Partition in the Bathroom

Glass looks fresh, expands the space, and creates a spa-like feel. But there’s a catch – water. Drops, streaks, soap marks – everything is visible immediately. If daily glass cleaning isn’t on the agenda, it’s better to choose a frosted or combined solution.

Handle-less Kitchen

It looks beautiful – clean lines, perfect geometry, no unnecessary details. But reality is harsher than aesthetics. Push-to-open mechanisms wear out quickly, doors open with any touch, and the facades are constantly covered in fingerprints. Owners of light or matte kitchens get tired especially quickly. Yes, minimalism is beautiful, but handles sometimes save lives and nerves.

Warm Wall in the Bathroom Instead of a Towel Warmer

This solution is trendy, stylish, and seems more "premium." But in everyday life, a warm wall works worse than it seems. A towel dries more slowly, doesn’t regain freshness overnight, and humidity accumulates faster in small bathrooms. A towel warmer is not such an "outdated" detail when considering practicality.

How to Choose Trends Without Disappointments

Focusing solely on beauty is a normal desire. But any interior detail should pass a convenience test: is it easy to maintain, how durable is it, does it fit your lifestyle? What is perfect for a photoshoot may turn out to be the least convenient solution for daily routine. Trends come and go, but comfort remains in your apartment for a long time.
