An interior design expert has revealed the three trends that you should avoid.
Sharing his thoughts on TikTok, interior designer, Phoenix Grey, revealed three current interior design trends you shouldn’t participate in.
The first trend he recommends steering clear of is limewash walls – especially if you’re going to try and create them yourself.
The expert said they’re often used without it going with the rest of the interiors in the home.
He added: “If you don’t do it professionally and end up DIYing it yourself and you don’t know what you’re doing it looks like a hodgepodge of disaster.

“It seems like you just ran out of paint and your walls look unfinished.”
Next are the famous Herman Miller plastic chairs, while the expert does admit they look great, he warns they will give you back pain.
“They actively wage war against your spine if you sit on them for longer than ten minutes.”
The final design trend Phoenix begs viewers to steer clear of is foam furniture, which became popular thanks to DIYers using foam to decorate mirrors.

He revealed: “This is literally the expectation of a landlord special, you’re literally adding a thick layer of toxic industrial foam on furniture that otherwise was fine.”
Viewers couldn’t agree more, one wrote: “I did not know foam furniture was a thing and wish I still didn’t.”
Another person commented: “the foam furniture is literally (near) future landfill.”
A third penned: “Oh my god. That foam DIY. How did anyone ever think that looked good?!”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “omg the limewash walls are giving faux paint/textured walls of the 90s/00s, pls stay in the past! not everything old should come back again!”
