Tackiest Celebrity Homes and Interior Design Trends

Over-theming and Instagram-focused designs are cringe-worthy:: Design expert Francesco Bilotto notes that spaces designed solely for camera appeal, rather than comfort, are a common mistake.

Bethenny Frankel's Miami condo:: The sterile, minimalist design, intended as an investment, was mocked online for resembling an Airbnb or doctor's waiting room.

JoJo Siwa's candy-colored home:: Known for its bright colors and whimsical features, Siwa eventually toned it down to sell for a profit.

Minimalism can lack soul:: All-white interiors, while clean, can feel cold and impersonal if not balanced with texture and personal touches, according to interior designer Jordana Ashkenazi.

Monochrome can be mature but also sterile for kids:: High contrast in children's spaces can be visually uncomfy, Ashkenazi notes, advising softer tones.

Excessive shelving looks styled but soulless:: Filling shelves with perfectly neutral ornaments can feel more like a retail display than a real home.

All-pink interiors can quickly date:: Stacey Solomon's pink laundry room, while fun, risks becoming dated due to the strong color and faux florals.

Mirrored furniture is out:: Mirrored vanities and bold faux marble now feel trend-led rather than timeless or elegant.

Large TVs can overpower a room:: Letting a TV dominate the room can overshadow other design elements, turning a living space into a screen-first interior.

All White and Minimalist: While neutral tones are popular, too much minimalism can make a home feel cold and impersonal. Molly-Mae Hague's living room, while polished, lacks warmth and personality. Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's all-white aesthetic feels more like a luxury showroom than a lived-in home. To avoid this, designers suggest layering in texture, subtle contrast, and personal pieces.

Monochrome: Rochelle Humes' black and white nursery, while stylish, feels more like a boutique hotel than a child's space. Black and white can be striking, but also quite stark. Softening it with warmer tones, texture, or subtle color makes a child’s room feel more relaxed and age-appropriate.

Excessive Shelving: Molly-Mae Hague's shelves, filled with neutral ornaments, look styled but soulless. Use lit shelving to showcase items with meaning, personal objects, family pieces, memories, or things collected over time.

All Pink: Stacey Solomon's pink laundry room, though fun, might not stand the test of time. Themes, softened with blush tones and natural textures, will age better than full-on candy pink.

Mirrored Furniture: Rochelle and Marvin Humes' mirrored bathroom leans heavily into mirrored furniture and marble-effect surfaces, which doesn’t quite land. Designers say this can feel dated very quickly.

Marble Everything: Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan's marble dining table feels like a space that’s been bought online in one go. Art and sculptural pieces would elevate the look.

Statement Lights/LED Lights: Rochelle Humes’ room with the LED ceiling lights feels trend-led and already dated, according to experts. The lights layer on top of too many other statements. Decide what the room is meant to be first, then choose lighting that supports that single function.

Chopped Cushions: A styling technique to make cushions look softer. When every cushion is pinched and placed just so, it tips from relaxed luxury into something that feels slightly staged. The advice is to mix cushions, vary sizes, fabrics and finishes, and let some sit naturally for a softer, lived-in look.

Large TV: Letting a TV dominate the room overshadows other design elements, turning a living space into a screen-first interior. Integrate large TVs into cabinetry or joinery so they can be visually switched off when not in use.

Avoid over-theming and prioritize comfort over Instagram appeal.

Balance minimalism with texture, warmth, and personal touches.

Use lighting and accessories to add character and avoid sterile environments.

Choose timeless designs over fleeting trends.

Personalize your home with meaningful items and avoid generic decor.
