Inspired Design – What’s Out in Home Interiors for 2017
Written By: Connor Anderson
Looking to add new life to your home design this year? Our friends at Realtor.com released a list of interior trends that are over for 2017. Below you’ll find their top five in the same order as the original post—plus a quick note on a few other fading favorites.
1) Faux Mid‑Century Modern
After years in the limelight, nostalgic Mid‑Century Modern may be on the verge of feeling, ironically, outdated.
2) Shiplap
After four shiplap‑crazy seasons, this TV‑fueled trend is due for a rest. If you wonder what 2016’s paneling looked like, this was it.

3) Barn Door Sliders
Barn doors solved tight spaces and looked cute for a while. Now, the once‑clever solution can read as dated.

4) White‑on‑White Kitchens
White isn’t gone, but designers expect more depth and tone. Consider darker cabinets, “pop and wow” backsplashes, and contrasting floors.

5) Copper
DIYers loved copper. However, it isn’t as timeless as other metals, so expect to see less of it. If you still love the look, use it sparingly.

Also Fading
Design doom was also predicted for the color gray and Carrara marble in 2017. For the full expert commentary, read Realtor.com’s article.
