Dated, drab, done. Nothing good lasts forever, they say, and that goes for stale and uninspiring tenets and elements of interior design.

 Go-Away “Griege” Too much of a monochromic or play-it-safe neutral scheme can come off as cold and lifeless. While the “griege” (gray plus beige) hue remains highly popular as a foundation to build on, the concept of layering on the grays is so over. The most popular choice overall for hues in homes right now is a mossy green.

Make a statement without saying a word, literally. Kitschy décor items embellished with one-word zingers or short phrases stating the obvious has reached its market saturation point. Instead of pillows that read “cozy home living,” bring the cozy to the pillow itself with supple textures or subtle patterns. And if you really want something to read, try accessorizing with some vintage books. Fine literature never goes out of style and will always be a shelf staple.
