But with that being said, some of these trends need to go, no matter how easy they are.

1.GO: Starting with the geometric accent wall. This might be different and easy to create, but it's an eyesore.
The busy nature of this design makes a space feel cluttered and fails to offer a focal viewing point.
2.STAY: Accent walls are a great idea, though, and if you prefer sharp lines, you can go for a diagonal painted accent wall.
3.GO: Putting stone on the outside of a bathtub needs to stop.
Imagine scraping your leg on that when you get out of the tub?! Why are people doing this?
4.STAY: Wood panel on the side of a tub can look really nice, as long as the rest of the design is minimal or modern to give it a spa feel.
5.GO: Fake hanging vines in the bedroom have to go.
They tend to cheapen the look of the room's design, which can throw off an otherwise carefully-curated room. They also clash with real plants!
6.STAY: But hanging plants are always a cute addition to a room, for adding more dimension or greenery. They can be fake, too!
7.GO: Peel and stick tile on bathroom floors is just not safe, therefore it has to go.
It's not ugly, it's just not durable! The steam and water in a bathroom make anything peel-and-stick vulnerable.
8.STAY: If you're bored of your tile, try changing the grout color! It's easy and fun.
9.GO: The once-trendy acrylic coffee table had its moment, but it's over now.
10.STAY: Ottoman coffee tables are attractive and multifunctional.
11.GO: Thoughtless gallery walls aren't making any kind of statement.
Using generic images with no real meaning for a gallery wall is lazy and impersonal. Art should be personal.
