1.Velvet

Velvet was a total trend a couple years ago. But according to designers, it’s dead and gone. Sure, velvet has smooth appeal across anything and it was pretty nice to have at least a sofa in the living room, but come on! It’s time to say goodbye to it. Because, let’s face it, it’s a pain in the neck when it comes to cleaning.

And if you own a pet, you know the struggle! Instead, try to think less plumped-up luxe and embrace a cozy look.

Forget about ironing and just let those layers live in peace. Switch to natural materials such as linens and cotton to add some texture and comfort to your bedroom.

2. Get rid of too much white 

Don’t get me wrong, because white is always one of the best choices for painting your walls, especially if your room is small. But try to be a little bit bold and add some color to your home. If you’re stuck in your ways and prefer white walls, try adding a splash of color to the furniture.

Too much white can look clinical and a bit stark, and designers agree that now is the time to leave this trend behind. A green sofa will match perfectly in the room, especially if you add some lime-colored pillows.

Are you ready for a change?
