Outdated Home Trends That Should Stay in the Past

Many people enjoy expressing themselves through home decor. But some design trends should be left in the past where they belong. Remember the groovy '70s with their flowery furniture and tile countertops? And what about those ruffled bed skirts from the '80s? The '90s gave us damask patterns and bean bag chairs. And the millennium brought us a flood of pink everything...

These outdated home trends should never see the light of day again. It's time to embrace what's hot right now. Let's leave those old fads in the dust, where they belong - or better yet, in a time capsule.

30. Tile Countertops Are Just Germ Colonies

Back in the 70s, having a tile countertop was all the rage. But nowadays, if you want to keep up with the cool kids, it's time to bid adieu to this tired trend. Let's face it, those tiles aren't doing any favors for your kitchen's style, and they're so easy to get dirty. You practically need a superhero's strength to clean them. And bleach will only make them lose their sparkle. So, do yourself a favor and ditch those outdated tiles.

It's time to upgrade to something sleek and stylish, like granite or marble. You don't want to be stuck in the past, like those poor souls still rocking their 80s hairdos. And if you're worried about breaking the bank, fear not! Marble countertops are actually pretty affordable. They give off a bougie vibe without the bougie price tag. Plus, they're tough and won't easily crack under pressure or heat.
