What house interior elements that are trendy today will eventually look dated?

I feel like one thing that's hot right now but won't last is ceramic tile that looks like wood. I think granite is approaching that point.

Also, just browsing real estate listings, was there ever a time worse for house design than the late 60's to early 80's? Holy crap that era's houses are aweful. Especially ranch style houses with low pitch roofs.

Actually shag carpet and ranch houses are back in style.

And if you think the faux cookie cutter houses of today are better you are mistaken. This shite nowadays is disposable architecture.

Don't ask the OT. You'll get people like Gaston telling you what is cool. Then you'll see pics of his house and laugh your arse off.

I think oil rubbed bronze has been out of style for a few years.

Once people accept that climate change is a hoax, all those 'nest' things and similar devices will be a mark of extreme stupidity.

Builder grade granites. There are plenty of granites that aren't dated looking, though I still prefer quartzite and marble.

Oil rubbed bronze fixtures

"hand-scraped" engineered wood floors

JPEG tile flooring.

Lol on the first part (as far as ranches are concerned).

For the second part, I could not agree more. I think they will look worse in 30 years than 60's-80's look now. At least those houses were mostly well built and are solid. Cookie cutter houses today are as solid as wet toilet paper.

Cedar columns and cedar or pine soffit is trendy right now and will look like crap in no time

sack washed bricks

colored mortar eventually loses like 80% of it's color

stained flooring and patios

Cultured marble though it's been dated and isn't used at all much anymore

trey ceilings

That backsplash is TERRIBLE!

Are tray ceilings a thing today? That screams late 80's-early 90's.

I don't understand why people invest money in that ugly shite and then they use ugly MDF 3 1/2 basic trim in their house. I think there's something to be said for nice trim with colonial style wainscoting and chair railing. Elements like that are timeless vs glass tile backsplash.

For those saying oil rubbed bronze fixtures will be out, what are you seeing as a replacement?

My interior knobs/fixtures are all this style. I couldn't see using the gold or silver/nickel finishes.

Just curious if I'm missing some option.
