Designers say these 6 outdated trends are aging your home

Forget the sterile, matchy-matchy decor of the past. Interior designers Jazmin Valdez Hamid and Jennifer Stephan are calling out six outdated trends that need to be let go, replaced with natural, lived-in style.

Impractical minimalism

Minimalism got a bad rap in the 2010s for looking good in photos but falling flat in real life, says Hamid. The solution? Functional storage solutions that double as decor. For under $14, she recommends these glass bottles for everyday essentials like vitamins and mouthwash.

Mass-produced, polished wood

Hamid warns against furniture that looks too shiny and new.
