What are the trends of today that are going to look horrifically dated in the next few decades?

I watch a lot of British daytime tv, including property renovation programs. There's an enormous, sudden surge of using subway tiles like this for kitchen backsplashes:

While I can't imagine people calling them hideous, I can see them eventually saying "mid to late tens renovation, huh?"

I don't think this is really subway tile. I know you can get it this way, but 99% of the time subway tile is flat, not beveled. Or do you mean only the beveled style will go out of fashion?

I haven't studied this in depth. All I know is in those British shows they use the superglossy beveled ones a lot and then call them subway tiles. I haven't verified with the authorities whether this is the correct nomenclature. They would be in every new kitchen (pretending to be) high end and glossy and I don't expect that to be the case anymore by the end of the decade.

The flat ones I only really see adorning shower walls in American shows, but those always feature the same handful of designers, so that doesn't say a lot. The British programs pseudorandomly pick flippers who bought a place at auction, beter reflecting the current interior design memes over there.

Again, I don't think subway tiles of any type will make people want to rip them out any time soon, but some new fad will take over, making the current stuff easily dateable.

YMMV but I use Cree 100w equivalents in enclosed spheres in my kitchen. In my experience, Philips is garbage but Cree has no problem. I would spend $10 on trying that before I dropped up to $300 and a lot of hassle on new fixtures.

How is going from a 60W equivalent to a 100W equivalent going to substitute for going to multiple 100W equivalents though. Plus any reason to get rid of boob lights is good.

So my last post in this thread was about how I'm not a big fan of techy decor, but my wife suddenly got a brainwave that instead of covering a rather blank wall with a bunch of "an arts" we set up some mini projector that projects something interesting on the wall. She got excited at all the houses that have Christmas projectors adding dancing lights and shits to the facades of buildings.

I told her there's probably technology to project custom images and poo poo onto a wall at budget-quality (we're not playing movies or doing a power point, just want some projected fun) but this is a field so outside of my wheelhouse. The main problem is that we probably couldn't mount it anywhere to project straight-on, it would be projected at about a 20 degree angle from the wall. Can you like... adjust the focus or skew things to make the results reasonable when not projects from a 90 degree angle?

The word you're looking for is keystone adjustment; look for it in specs pages of projectors.

If you have stuff from Ikea that survived ten or fifteen years, it is representative of the quality Ikea put out ten or fifteen years ago.

The quality of our newer Ikea stuff seems better than the quality of our 8-10 year old stuff though.

I'm just making the argument that it's not really meaningful to roll out the testimonials of the family heirloom Ikea pieces. Ikea will look at all their products periodically and redesign from the ground up if necessary to save cents on production and transport, while keeping the look and name. The Klippan you buy today isn't the Klippan of 5 years ago, which isn't the Klippan you could buy 10 years ago. Some of their stuff turns more cardboardy in the process and sometimes the finish isn't as nice.

Just don't buy any furniture you haven't seen in person and don't necessarily expect to get away with it remarkably cheap and you'll absolutely be fine in Ikea too.

Does someone know what that brown ceiling disk is? It's in another room too, I think. Noveau riche chandelier replacement?

Could be a thing to improve acoustics, maybe? Like if that room was multi function and you'd have performances and lectures and what not there from time to time.
