Hello everyone,
I have often wondered what typical “building mistakes” from the 2010s and 2020s will be seen as in a few decades. Would you like to speculate together?
I mean, in the 1970s, it was considered stylish and modern to cover bathroom walls with brown tiles all the way to the ceiling and combine them with sunny yellow sanitary ceramics. Back then, no one could have imagined that this would one day be regarded as unattractive.
Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time? Floor-to-ceiling windows? “Smokey eyes” (dark window tinting)? Which elements will make the next generation shake their heads and wonder about our questionable taste?

You think so? I do see the "risk" too, but I would still like to have those on the floor in the new bathroom and in the office area (ground floor). I'm really still torn on this.It doesn’t matter what happens the day after tomorrow. If you want them now, you will still love them in 20 years.

Wood should look like wood and ceramic like ceramic. These are basically honest and high-quality materials. Why the fake packaging? What’s next? Two-layer parquet with a tile design?I like the look of wood. But in the bathroom and office, you need something more durable. Currently, there is a beautiful strip parquet floor in the office – but it has seen better days, despite using cheap floor protection mats. Then there are wet shoes, often with little stones in winter... I don’t want to expose the wood to that. Still, I prefer the wood look over tiles with a concrete pattern, for example – even if it’s a bit of a fake.
