As a general design and life rule, remember that too much of a good thing is always bad. That’s certainly the case with granite. While granite countertops are still a popular design decision, there are other materials available to bring some contemporary flair to your kitchen.
Granite is not necessarily a bad choice, but something like marble or even concrete can lead to a more modern-looking design. Granite isn’t entirely out, but a minimalist aesthetic of lighter materials is definitely in. Ever heard of the expression less is more? Well, this definitely applies where this material is concerned. Minimalism is definitely the name of the game when it comes to solving this problem.
Terrible Beams
For those of you problem-solvers out there who are into modern architecture, here’s a challenge for you: come up with a way to have your giant beams and workable walkway too.
While it would’ve been ideal to simply avoid this fail at the planning stage, we’d love to know what could possibly be done to rectify the issue now.
10 Points for Ingenuity
Toilets tend to be the smallest room in the house. We all know this, and it’s something we all have to work around. Yet, instead of, oh say, installing a door that swings out instead of in, this clever interior designer made a cutout in the door to fit around the throne.
Kind of defeats the whole privacy aspect of having a door, especially if there are kids in the house.
Why Plaid?
How did this room go so terribly wrong with its design decisions? We’re starting to get the feeling that interior designers were just trying to ruin people’s lives.
Plaid is a tough look to pull off in any situation, let alone plastered over your walls and bedspreads. If we never had to see this trend again, it would be too soon.
Animal Rugs Are Out
Zebra rugs were supposed to infuse a space with a kind of exotic flair during the ‘70s - but the design feels outdated and unnecessary. Plastering a zebra rug across your floor feels a little silly in the current climate. Plus, it leads to a rather cheesy-looking home design.
You really should keep the zebra rugs, or any animal rug, for that matter, far away from your home. Beyond the fact that animal lovers will have your head, the striped rugs don’t fit comfortably in any space.
