Patterned linoleum
Another child of the 1950s, linoleum was once an ultra-modern interior feature that was seen as an affordable and durable alternative to traditional types of floor coverings.
But with this new invention came a plethora of crazy patterns, colors and styles, usually in direct contrast to the rest of a room. There’s no space for patterned lino in a contemporary home, so rip it up and start from scratch!
Dried flowers
Ah, dried flowers. The 1990s saw these pungent decor pieces take over our homes, but in the face of a beautiful, fresh bouquet, these dried ensembles have since been tossed to the wayside.
As with bowls of fake fruit, it’s time to let these straw-like bundles go.
Ornate kitchen cabinets
Once upon a time, ornate cabinetry was the in thing for kitchens. Transforming cooking spaces into formal affairs, ornate cabinetry grew popular in the 1970s, often in dark earthy wood tones – the shinier the better!
Now, we’re very pleased to welcome sleeker, more simple designs into our homes and say a final adieu to heavily carved kitchens.
