Interior designers share the design trends they hate the most
Have you seen a new bathroom built with glass bricks in the past decade? Probably not. That's because although glass brick bathrooms were trendy thirty years ago, at some point, interior design professionals made an unofficial collective decision that they looked hideous.
The same will eventually be said for many of the current design trends that have become almost painfully ubiquitous. Just because a look is heavily featured on social media or HGTV, doesn't mean it's a good choice for everyone from an aesthetic or even a practicality standpoint. From tropical print overload toart, some of the biggest names in interior design gladly confessed their least favorite trends as well as the alternatives that make better replacements.
founder Rachel Ashwell loves the minimal and simple clean lines of this style, overall, she isn’t a fan. “Even on clean lines, I always like things to be comfortable,But if you're stuck in a house full of wood furniture with angled feet, Ashwell doesn't think the situation is hopeless.
Art should always have a message, but DeRosa and Manhan believe it's okay to search for that meaning. They would be happy never seeing another inspirational message again. “Whether you’re telling a guest to ‘relax’ or trying to communicate a sense of ‘home-sweet-home,’ there are countless ways you can do so in a more subtle way,” they say.
The designers suggest creating context and a sense of place through the use of photography, color or pattern. “This allows each guest to craft their own experience and make the overall vibe for the interior more timeless.”A design choice that will leave you with less storage and more to clean.

Proof That Solange Knowles Is Deserving of the Title 'Style Icon'Solange Knowles is having quite a moment. Last year, she released her third studio album, A Seat at the Table, to widespread acclaim—and hard won, considering it was released on the same day as the equally anticipated new Bon Iver album. Solange went on to win her her first-ever Grammy at the 2017 award ceremony. Since then, she's demonstrated herself to be a powerful performance artist, has made the rounds at fashion week, put in a welcome appearance, as every year, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute gala, and she's even made time to Skype with a young fan. Beyoncé's sister is something of a shapeshifter: She's been dressed by, and is a beloved icon of, designers ranging from Gucci to Thom Browne, Chloé to Giles Deacon, pulling off the least forgiving, most avant-garde looks, and even proving you can wear a puffer coat well into May. She's even made her own forays into design with her Saint Heron brand, and is a proud supporter of up-and-coming brands like Phlemuns. On the occasion of the singer's 31st birthday, we look back at her ever-evolving style, from 2001 to today.
