Leave it in the aughts?
I’m usually pretty tolerant when it comes to design trends – after all, design does embrace fun and fashion, and what goes on between consenting adults and their interior spaces is really up to them (assuming, that is, I’m not the designer). But since it is New Year, and I feel I really ought to make an effort, here are three trends I’d be happy to leave behind in the decade just about to end:
1. Inky dark rooms – inky dark walls make inky gloomy rooms unless you have tons and tons of light, and preferably high ceilings too.

2. Unfinished plywood walls and floors. Yes, we can see you are green, but finish the project, please?

3. Animal skulls on the walls, real or fake (via). Unless you live in a hunting lodge. On second thoughts, even if you do live in a hunting lodge …

What about you? Any trends you would like to see die with the decade? Or any you see becoming enduring classics?
