Home Decor Trends That Ought to Remain in the Past

Fringe accents have been present in the fashion industry for quite some time. There was a phase when we incorporated them into every design possible. From tablecloths to lampshades, fringes were added to anything and everything. Unfortunately, the fringed trim looks ruined easily with one damaged thread. Why anyone found a lamp resembling a 1920s flapper appealing is still a mystery.

If a crocheted blanket was not draped over the back of your sofa, it was highly likely that you observed one at your acquaintances’ residences.

The threads used to weave these pieces fade and tear easily, and they gather dust, resulting in a shabby appearance. Limit yourself to a single macramé piece per room.
