What do professionals refuse in their projects today? For example, limestone as a facing stone and light green color. Details in our material.

Trends in the interior are changing. Sometimes every year, sometimes less often. Just like the anti-trends. We asked designers Natalia Varnavskaya, Anastasia Snitsarenko and Dasha Kossa to tell us what, in their opinion, is irrelevant today. 

1 Decorative plasters, excluding micro-cement 

Natalia Varnavskaya believes that decorative plaster will look appropriate in a loft or in “folk” styles. But for a typical modern interior, she wouldn’t use this coating. 

“In loft, country, Mediterranean, narrow-style interiors, plaster looks appropriate. For a typical modern interior, this is an alien element that has nothing to do with the word “stylish”. Because stylish is about matching any style,” the designer explains his position. 

2 Decorative brick

Designer Dasha Kossa believes that this technique is a thing of the past, as well as the borrowing of loft style in general.

“A couple of years ago, many clients indicated these techniques among references or specific wishes. Now there is no such thing at all. Everyone finally fell in love with painted walls, it was painted, not wallpaper and not wallpaper for painting,” says Dasha.

Anastasia Snitsarenko also mentions decorative bricks among the anti-trends, but it is white. 

“Today, some apartment owners still use this technique in the design of a balcony or loggia in order to give these rooms more comfort. Facing the walls with a white brick or plaster under a brick is a technique that has lost its relevance. An actual replacement for an outdated brick is rough plaster for gypsum, stone or concrete,” Anastasia recommends. 

3 Paintings-triptychs

We are talking about photo-printed paintings, which are divided into three parts and represent an “ensemble”. Sometimes they are also called modular.

According to designer Natalia Varnavskaya, this is outdated. And here’s why. 

Designer Natalia Varnavskaya:

Paintings as full-fledged parts of the interior must correspond to it. This means that the plot of the image and its presentation should be organic within the chosen style direction. For classic interiors, these are framed paintings, with carved or laconic panels, in enamel or in wood (depending on the color of the furniture). According to the plot, it can be landscapes or engravings, botany and occasionally portraits, but you need to be extremely careful with this. In minimalism — laconic geometry, color blocks, it is possible without a frame, a bare canvas on a stretcher. If we are talking about styles with a rebellious character, for example, a loft, it can be bright posters in a black frame or without it, more often without a passepartout, with shocking images. In scandi — black or white laconic frames with passepartout, with sentimental images, cozy, on semitones, you can lettering. The main thing is to understand that styles exist not only in interior design, but also in decor.
