10 Things Making Your Home Look Dated in 2026

In this video, I’m breaking down 10 things that are making your home look dated in 2026, and more importantly, what to do instead to make your home look modern, fresh, and beautifully designed.

I’ll cover outdated trends like:
✔ All-gray interiors
✔ Shiny hardwood floors
✔ Tuscan kitchens and busy granite
✔ Heavy farmhouse décor
✔ Overdone boho style
✔ Stark white walls
✔ Dated backsplashes
✔ Word art and iron scroll décor
✔ Old-style accent walls
✔ Wall-to-wall beige carpet

Whether you're planning a remodel, decorating a new home, or simply trying to refresh your space, these tips will help you create a beautiful, cohesive, and timeless home.

DISCLAIMER: As a designer, I always want to encourage homeowners to decorate their house the way they like, without blindly following trends. Just because something might not be trending right now, doesn't mean your house doesn't look great, or you need to make any changes. Trends are always changing, so it's a guarantee that what was in style 5-10 years ago is probably no longer in style now. If you're doing a refresh you can use this list about what's outdated as guidance. But remember, always do what you love in your own home!
