CACTI
Cactuses are the new fiddle leaf figs—by which we mean, the houseplant so ubiquitous, it’s become a cliche. (The whole Southwestern boho vibe is looking a little tired, TBH).
LIVE-EDGE FURNITURE
Back in the day, these silhouettes were the height of fashion. But nowadays they’ve become emblematic of the “rustic” look that’s better suited to coffee shops in the Pacific Northwest.

That goes for macrame, hippie tapestries and, yes, those widespread wall poufs that look like smushed cotton balls.
MUDCLOTH
We know, tragique: 2017’s haute textile is going the way of chevron. Ditto shiboris and indigos and anything that suggests global panache...when you actually ordered it on Etsy.
COPPER
Single-finish metal situations are on the fritz overall (helloooo, mixed metals), but copper metallics in particular scream "trendy in 2016."
SCANDI BEDS
The “mattress-tossed-on-the-floor” look suggests a sexy European ease that we were glad to co-opt stateside. But 2019 is seeing a big move toward more traditional design
