Out With the Old Trends
到2020年的良好riddance。这是一年的摧毁的生命和生计，坦率地说，它不能很快结束。现在，2021提供了推动重置按钮的机会。但大流行不是唯一要留下的东西。有一些家庭趋势that should also do a vanishing act. These are the 10 home trends DIY bloggers hope will disappear in 2021.
Barn Doors
谷仓门是在任何设计中纳入农舍元素的一种方式。但是，蒂娜霍夫曼，家庭和花园博客Greenhouse Studio, wants to shut the door on this trend. “Barn doors were made popular by Chip and Joanna, and they can look great, but they can also be tedious and noisy to slide open and shut every time.” And there’s another reason she’s over this trend. “They often don't provide a secure close like a traditional door, which can be a bit awkward when used in a place where you might want privacy – like the entrance to your master bathroom.”
Monochromatic Neutrals
While monochromatic can be good, when taken too far, it becomes monotonous. And Huffman believes that monochromatic neutrals have crossed that line—especially white-on-white and gray-on-gray. “Both are indispensable neutrals, but they're more impactful when balanced out by other colors,” she says. “Mix up your decor with contrasting neutrals, like off-white with charcoal for example, or with non-neutral accent colors.”
Huffman’s view is shared by Theresa Clement, an Ambler, Penn.-based DIY blogger atMyFixitUpLife。“虽然白色和苍白的中立者可以营造一个令人愉悦且易于加入的背景，但它是真实生活的无菌和过于医院。”Clement建议将一些纹理和生命注入那些优步中性空间。“无论是添加复古的感情件还是大胆的动力口音，也可以与时尚的蓝色奇潮碎片，创造反映你个性和提升你心情的空间是如此重要。”特别是现在我们在家里花了这么多时间，克莱门特说这座空间应该培养和舒适。“面料，颜色和照明都可以轻松地将空间变成舒适的家庭巢。”
An All-White Kitchen
我们已经听到了两个DIY博主呢？为什么全白色的外观has overstayed its welcome. But to Liz Alvarez, blogger atBuilding Our Rez，寒冷，无菌，全白色的厨房，特别是错误的方式。“不要让我错了，我们喜欢保持自己的房子光明和明亮，但是在所有的颜色中从顶部到底间都可以突了平。”如果你是那种实际烹饪的人，她说保留那些白色的橱柜清洁可能是一个挑战。“如果你喜欢光线和通风厨房的外观，但想要增加更多兴趣，请尝试离开顶面橱柜白色，但涂上底部橱柜或岛屿的重点颜色，”Alvarez建议使用。另一种选择是获得更柔和的颜色。“或者你可以通过将岛屿或半岛的背部覆盖在木头上，添加柔和的颜色背板或带入一些天然木材元素。”

Open Shelving
Open shelving in a kitchen provides additional storage and lets you show off some of your favorite items. However, Seattle-based DIY blogger Vineta Jackson, known asThe Handyman's Daughter相信,这一趋势已经失控。“While a few open shelves are great for displaying fancy dishes or glassware, an entire kitchen without any upper cabinets is a recipe for disaster,” she explains. For one reason, most people are doing the open-shelving-thing wrong. “Magazines show beautiful kitchens with just a few items per shelf, but in reality you're just putting all your clutter on display.” And if that’s not bad enough, you’re also creating more work for yourself. “Those fancy dishes will need to be washed before you use them, because dust and dirt will collect on the surface quickly,” Jackson says.
Shiplap
Shiplap是另一个仿古趋势，可能会过度欢迎。“Shipleap是一个趋势，由展示固定器上部最受欢迎，希望在2021年结束，”杰克逊说。并且她有不喜欢这种古朴的设计趋势的充分理由。“这些宽木板墙是板条之间的灰尘，它们在干墙中创造了数百孔，当你厌倦了外观时需要修补。”

Open Floor Plans
视图永远持续了open floor plans，这就是为什么克莱特说她很高兴看到对这种趋势的需求正在消失。“正如我们一直都有一个家庭办公室和嘈杂，忙碌的家庭，我个人从来没有成为开放式平面图的粉丝，”她解释道。“我喜欢开放式平面图中的房间，配有双门尺寸开口，使用口袋门或其他类型的滑动门。”尤其是大流行，克莱门特认为，房主希望灵活地在较大的主楼内创造私密空间。
Perfectionism
Perfectionism in any area is problematic, and that includes your home. “The perfection trend hasn’t been my favorite, so I hope the obsession with getting spaces Instagram- and Zoom-ready fades a little,” Clement says. She admits that it’s been nice to see inside other people’s homes during video chats. “I like that we’ve seen the real lives of people in pop culture throughout 2020 - we’ve seen their messes and that their kids and pets behave like ours.”
And her suggestion is seconded by JZ Shipp, DIY blogger at可能是DIY.愿意根据趋势停止设计/装饰的人。“这是一个家，而不是一个为杂志的照片拍摄，”她说。“凭借他们的本性，趋势正在稍纵即逝，但一个反映和为生活中的人带来欢乐的家庭会出现稳定感，所以用你所爱的颜色和东西填补你的家，你不能出错。“
Too Much Painted Furniture or IKEA Hacks
使用创意黑客和有一个看起来很黑了的家庭之间存在差异。“我了解迫使成本的愿望并提出创造性和独特的家庭，但太多的好事可以让你的家庭看起来便宜，”斯蒂芬·普罗尔，DIY博客，DIY博客重新设计的经典。“If you can pull off an effective hack to make your home look more intentional, then go for it, but the key is to off-set it with lasting pieces that are made to stand the test of time.” In fact, if you spend more money on a nice piece of furniture, she says it will save you in the long run. “If you insist on painting your furniture, then take the time and do it correctly, making sure to sand it properly and use high quality primers and paint.” If not, Purcell warns that it will start flaking and look even worse than when you started.
Greige Walls
Greige is a combination of gray and beige–and it’s an immensely popular paint color. However, Purcell says it makes homes look drab. “While greige fades perfectly into the background, it lacks any life or style,” she says. “You don't have to choose a bright green, but a light blue really helps open a space.” And with so many peel-and-stick wallpaper options available, she recommends embracing patterns. “This doesn't mean you need to have a full jungle theme on your wall, but a subtle gold and white geometric pattern makes a much more interesting backdrop than just a greige wall.”
Random Pops of Color
而弹出的颜色可以好,随机出现可以look haphazard. “Colourful interiors can be a lot of fun, and adding occasional splashes of colour with artwork, a statement piece of furniture, or soft furnishings can be a great way to introduce colour into your home,” advises Christine Wessling, DIY blogger at Little House On the Corner. However, random pops of color can be fun, but they don’t help to create calm and peaceful interiors, which, after a turbulent year, we’re gravitating towards.” So what does she recommend? “Replacing over-saturated pops of colour with a softer and more muted colour palette, natural textures and materials, along with a more thoughtful approach to interior design, will result in spaces that are much more coherent, serene and sophisticated.
