Hey, love the blog, especially the interior design parts! Oh there are so many trends that need to die quick deaths.
Wallpapers that look like things straight from the 70s (large geometric patterns, clashing colors or combinations of he two).
Mixing patterns badly.
painting/fabric-wrapping things that needn't be painted or fabric-wrapped.
and Photo-realistic depictions of flowers or trees used as decor elements (in wallpaper or on pillows etc).
I've got a blog dedicated to the subject of trends that are done badly: http://stopthe70s.blogspot.com
Totally agree with the fake suzanis. I've been collecting them for years and I wish it had not turned into a "fad". I don't agree with the cubed ottomans or zebra printed cowhides though. They don't bother me at all. I think bad faux painting needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.
