5 Design Trends From 2025 You’ll Regret in 2026

Описание: Homes often chase what feels current instead of what actually lasts—and that’s how good houses age badly. In this episode, Blake from Built by Becker breaks down five design trends that exploded in 2025 and are already on their way out in 2026. These are the choices homeowners keep regretting just a few years later, not because they were done poorly, but because the trend itself was flawed from the start.

From all-gray interiors that drain warmth and personality to flat black fixtures that age fast and demand constant maintenance, Blake explains why these looks felt safe at the time and why they fail in real life. He breaks down how overused fluted furniture turns into visual noise, why all-white kitchens become stressful instead of timeless, and how excessive recessed lighting destroys atmosphere instead of improving it. Each trend is paired with practical guidance on what actually holds up over time—warmer materials, layered lighting, real texture, and design choices that feel intentional instead of temporary.
