“Bring back actual color.

These muted, gray homes are drab and void of imagination and style.”

1.“Walls.

Walls need to come back.

No more open floor plans.

Christine Quinn from Netflix's "Selling Sunset" stares wide-eyed at the camera with other cast members partially visible in the background

I don’t want to be able to hear everything going on in my house at all times.”

“I have always loved the look of an accent wall.

Spacious modern kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, dark hardwood floors, an island, and a view of a living area with a fireplace

“Sunken living rooms.

4.

A modern, well-lit room featuring a wicker chair, potted plant, wicker basket, and a full-length mirror on a geometrically painted wall

“One trend I hope comes back is true dining rooms.

I own a 1990 home, and I love the dedicated space.

I made the dining room a bright lemon theme (the fruit and the color).

Spacious modern living room with wooden panels, sectional sofa with patterned pillows, abstract wall art, and fireplace

It’s like a gravity point.”

“Colorful porcelain in the bathroom.

A stylish dining room with a white table, six white chairs, a decorative wall, and a chandelier. The background shows an adjacent room with tiled flooring

White is not only boring but also looks dingy a lot faster.

I love our original harvest gold tub and sink.”

I don’t need a bedroom that big.

I don’t have that much furniture.

But what I DO like is having more than two bathrooms.

Modern bedroom with large windows, a white bed, and grey accent walls; there's a stylish reading chair with a side table and industrial pendant lights

“I would love to see tan walls back in style because I’ve been putting off repainting!

The grey trend only lasted five to 15 years (depending on location).

Spacious kitchen with wooden cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island with bar stools. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling

Our old grey walls and white trim got dirty easily but photographed extremely well.

I like old-school ceiling lights.

A vintage chandelier with five lit glass globes and ornate brass arms; the chandelier is mounted on a ceiling, providing warm illumination to the room

Nope to that guess-which-outlets-work-with-the-wall-switch style of room wiring.”

9.“Built-ins.

I loved those details.”

An inviting reading nook with a cozy armchair, ottoman, built-in bookshelf filled with books, a lamp, a chest, and a blue dresser, set near a window with greenery outside

“Put that fancy laundry ‘room’ back in the basement.

There should ALWAYS be two bathrooms in every home if possible.”

A modern laundry room features a stacked washer and dryer, surrounding cabinets, a folding area with a laundry basket, and a sink next to a window

“Not that I ever really thought it was outdated, but the farmhouse look is nice.

… a nice light farmhouse creates a warm and durable look.

Spacious rustic kitchen with wooden beams, large dining table, chairs, hanging light fixtures, and an assortment of shelves, cabinets, and decor

Plus, a lot of stuff that can pass as farmhouse isn’t always expensive.”

“Sliding barn doors.

A modern interior with a white sliding barn door partially open, revealing a clean, minimalistic bathroom

These muted, gray homes are drab and void of imagination and style.

A modern bedroom with a large potted plant, a bed with textured bedding, a bedside table, a desk lamp, and two armchairs arranged in a stylish layout

What do I mean?

“Wicker and brass furniture.

Two chefs stand in a kitchen, wearing white uniforms and aprons, discussing their work under pendant lights

We’ve already brought back a ton of early ’80s decor.

Imagine completing the look for that true immersion feeling.”

16.

Two wicker chairs with cushions and a wicker table with flowers, a pie, and fruit, set on a grassy lawn under green trees. A lantern with fruit sits nearby

I’m talking about quality wood paneling.

Mahogany or walnut, for example.

There’s nothing better than a den with beautiful wood paneling, big windows, and built-in shelving.

A wooden wall with an electrical outlet next to a lamp with a floral-patterned lampshade, placed by a window covered with blinds

Bonus for terrazzo, conversation pit, or indoor planters.

It’s just so cozy and beautiful.”

And finally..

17.

A cozy house with a front porch featuring columns, a rocking chair, potted plants, and a neatly manicured lawn

“The front porch.

They were fun to decorate and it was a great way to meet the neighbors.”
