Seven interior trends to avoid if you’re a messy person
There are two types of people in the world – those who are neat, and others who are… well, not so tidy.
There have been countless studies done to evaluate what being messy says about you. One aspect that hasn’t been covered in a study are the trends that you should avoid in your home if you tend to lean towards the messy side.
Remember that while interiors on Pinterest and Instagram look completely effortless, there is a lot of time involved to make sure they look perfect.
So if you’re not a neat-freak, or don’t have hours and hours to get it right (and keep it that way), perhaps steer clear of these style trends.
Open shelving
Open shelving may look great on Instagram, but in reality it can be a nightmare. How long do you give it until you’re shoving things in wherever they fit?
It’s also not very practical, and requires everything that would normally go into your drawer to be aesthetically pleasing.
And chances are if you’re messy, you’re not prioritising dusting your open shelving. Stick to closed cabinets.
