From must-have Metro tiles to desirable dark paint colors, the results might surprise you…
New research reveals some of today’s most popular interior trends could actually be devaluing our homes. A study carried out by the team at Rated People found many of the latest trends are guilty of making potential buyers less likely to buy your home.
The list surprisingly includes some of the top design trends of now, from bath-less bathrooms and dark paint colors to copper taps and painted floorboards.
The team analyzed a sample of 820,000 jobs, from 3 million over the past three years to reveal the most popular decor and renovation trends of recent years that could cost you, when it comes to selling your home…
Top 15 trends putting off potential buyers
The study looks into the renovation and interior design trends in the UK. The findings suggest anything that’s too bold or personal could make buyers less likely to see past the decor to envision the property as their own home.
1. Rooms painted dark blue
This popular hue ranks top of the off-putting trends, with 52 percent. It does and doesn’t surprise us, because dark colors are very Marmite – we just happen to love them.

2. Rooms painted dark grey
Dark grey is marginally less hard to picture living with, just behind with 49 percent.
3. Bathrooms with no bath
This is a bathroom trend the experts say more and more of us are opting for, bathrooms with only a shower. Homeowners are sacrificing baths so they can have bigger and better shows. But with 43 percent of the vote, could this be a washout when it comes to selling your home?

‘We know from the many completed projects in our community that dark and bold colors can look great,’ says Adrienne Minster, CEO of Rated People.
‘But when it comes to selling, it’s a good idea to stay up to date with the features that buyers are looking for because the trends that were adding value just two to three years ago might now be devaluing properties.’
