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Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time?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?

By now, I really find the whole “smokey eyes” trend – that is, anthracite-colored windows and front doors – quite awful when I drive through new residential areas...
Then there are live-edge dining tables, which almost everyone seems to have now (although that has nothing to do with the actual house).
Fully enclosed patio roofs are also annoying; it’s either you want to sit outside or inside.
Bathroom furniture or any furniture with flashy LED light strips is another thing I dislike.
Living rooms or interiors consisting of white walls, white furniture, and white floors – preferably high gloss – paired with single colorful design accents that try too hard to create some kind of style.
Then there are designer rock gardens and fully sealed driveways everywhere.
By now, I would prefer a highly energy-efficient new build that looks like an old-style house, with a nice garden that’s allowed to grow a bit wild.

Ceramics is ceramics. What does ceramics look like in your opinion?
Ceramics is a material that is made durable through a protective coating, glazing, firing, or similar processes. Firing allows the creation of surfaces with a wide range of styles and finishes. This enables the production of plates, cups, bowls, and also tiles. The latter can range from tiny to very large, from black to white, from rough to smooth, from round to polygonal, and from plain to colorful. Some look like marble, others like slate, and currently many resemble wood.
And what do your tiles look like, @michert?

- Urban villas I think it basically comes down to personal taste. The typical two-story design with a hip or pyramid roof is not exactly modern. There are plenty of these in my area as older buildings, and I find them quite attractive, just like most modern urban villas (as long as they are not painted in dull, anthracite-dominated colors). So, it might really be more a question of whether you generally like this style.
Wire mesh fences and gabions might be considered unattractive, but they are not architectural blunders—certainly not as a hallmark of the building era—since they can be discreetly removed once people tire of their appearance. In this respect, I am more concerned about the L-shaped concrete retaining wall terraces. From aerial views, the current era will be identifiable by the combination of "a captain’s gable on one side and a flat-roofed dormer on the other." Otherwise, I find the stylistic mix itself (for example, Tuscan Bauhaus) to be a recipe for failure. The smoky eye accents are underestimated: simply removing these accent areas during the next repaint is not an option—doing so would reveal how indecisive the owner was between symmetry dogma and a random mix of styles. Most likely, these will transform into classic eyeshadows in sky blue or pale green, or shift to apricot tones (which will then spawn the next pattern fad). I predict that flat roof accents from oversized sectional garage doors to front doors will eventually gain a cringe factor similar to the mullet hairstyle. I firmly believe the trend of placing TV studio-style kitchens in living rooms will have passed within ten years. Likewise, void spaces or galleries will soon become outdated, joining the architectural fashion graveyard alongside the once-popular asymmetrical gable roof. Remodelers will face challenges with labyrinth-like layouts, also known as T-shaped bathrooms.
