I’m an interior designer – here are the tired trends which are so overdone

WHEN it comes to decorating your home there are some trends that will still look great years down the line, and there are others that are already tired.

An interior designer revealed exactly what you should avoid and what is a good investment on Instagram.

Anthony Immediato is an interior designer and home stylist, so he knows a thing or two about what looks good.

Painted arches had their moment earlier this year and last year, but they’re so overdone now, at least according to Anthony.

He said: “We saw it and now it’s kind of fizzling out.”

But it’s good news if you’ve got any ornate or vintage rugs laying around since they’ll always be timeless, making them the perfect thing to splash the cash on.

One item of furniture that was surprisingly still trendy is curved sofas.

“Yes they’ve been around but I personally love them and we’re seeing them more and more,” the interiors pro said.

And it might be time to chuck out your pampas grass because it’s massively untrendy now.

“There’s no explanation needed,” Anthony said as he showed a picture of a vase of pampas grass.

If you’re into rattan furniture it’s a timeless look, it might be outdated for some, but since trends always come back around it might be worth hanging on to.

And although there are loads of different fabrics you can buy chairs and sofas in, there’s been a rise in Sherpa, Shearling and Boucle designs recently.

They’re nothing new, Anthony says, but that’s a good thing because it means they’re not part of trend cycle and will always look chic in your home.

Viewers agreed with some of his decisions, one wrote: “the arches! over it!”

“As a fellow interior designer I agree with all of these,” another commented.
