When
preparing your home to sell, you might want to incorporate some current popular
design trends to entice buyers. But
there are also design and décor ideas that you may want to avoid for the same reason.
Here are some interior design trends that are not currently popular with home
buyers:
Breakfast Nooks: According to Country
Living breakfast nooks are out. They are charming and cute, but not what
buyers are looking for these days. If
you’re renovating your kitchen, you may want to add more cabinets and
counter-top space instead.
Bamboo Floors: This once trendy
flooring material is on its way out. Buyers are now looking for other options
such as synthetic materials that can be easily replaced, or good old fashioned
hardwood that can be refinished to their liking.
Shiplap: Shiplap
has been hugely popular recently, but according to realtor.com, “If you’ve ever wondered what 2016's version of tacky wood paneling
would be, look no further than this trend that seems to have overtaken TV design
shows." It’s challenging to remove and designers say it just doesn’t make
sense to have it in some houses such as Colonial or Tudor style homes.
Brushed Metal: Per House
Beautiful, industrial looking metals are out. Shiny metals like bronze and
gold are gaining popularity for adding elegance to a home.
Gray Paint: Once a favorite color
choice, gray is starting to look, well, gloomy. It has been overused according
to Realtor
Mag and new color palettes will include warmer colors such as mocha and
taupe.
