Glass block walls
Hot in the 1980s, glass block walls were a must-have interior addition, but sadly their time in the limelight was short-lived. Increasing interior light flow while offering a level of privacy, glass block walls pre-date sleek shower screens.
These days we’d prefer to see a simple curtain or glass enclosure, so take a mallet to your block wall and remember that less really is more!
Decorative paint techniques

That’s right, textured paint techniques were all the rage and remnants of the craze can still be seen in homes today. Now’s the time to brush these pattern effects off for good.
