But as far as the pro is concerned having bows on everything from candles to bedding and plant pots might be a bit too much. She explained that although bows themselves are "timeless" and can always in incorporated into any space in a tasteful manner, the current obsession can come off as "tacky".
"The oversaturation of bows in your home can start to feel a little bit much and can make it look a little bit tacky," she said. Most read in Fabulous Checkerboard It always a good idea to incorporate a pattern into your home in way way or another, but overdoing the checkboard trend is a big no-no. You can get just about anything in a checkboard print, from chairs, rugs and pillows, to shower curtains and photo frames.
"Checkerboard will go down in history as the chevron of Gen Z," the pro said. So maybe limit the print to one or two pieces in your home your really love, and make sure to spread them out. Food designs You might think it's cute right now, but that stool that looks like a strawberry will make you cringe down the line, according to the interior designer.
And it's not just that, you can buy just about anything with either a food print or that's made to look like food itself. Whether it's a doughnut, lemon, cake, pasta or cherries - foodifying you furniture and home accessories is easy to over-do. "It makes your space fun and quirky," she explained.
But too many of these trendy pieces can loose that fun vibe and instead look chaotic and messy.
