What'll be the next Shag carpet or wood panel walls?

[Jacob Edmond]

I'm remodelling my 1965 home that has the oh so popular wood wall paneling instead of sheet rock interior walls. I have seen plenty of hones with beautiful hardwood floors that were covered with carpeting as well. While I'm remodelling, I try to stay away from anything that is 'in' or newly popular that I think will eventually be unpopular again.

What do you all see that is ultra popular now thay will eventually be seen as just awful?

I think farm style sinks will be one that are big right now and will stick out as a dead giveaway that your kitchen was remodeled in the 2010's.

I think stainless steel appliances and granite will run their course. Stainless steel is very hard to keep clean. It looks too sterile. And most granite stone is just hideous, so busy and distracting. When that happens the person who discovers a productive use for the millions of pounds of granite that will be thrown away will become very wealthy. I agree with the loud back splashes mentioned above. I am also not a fan of fake looking things like laminate, or even the wood looking ceramic tile.
