These 8 Vanished Home Trends Have Returned

For many, vinyl LPs never get old. But even the cabinets that once stored them in dens and living rooms are coming back into fashion. A record cabinet from the 1950s or '60s offers great storage and simple lines that work well with the modern minimalist design and decor we’re enjoying this decade.

In the 1990s, we all spent long weekends stripping away the heavy floral wallpaper of the 1980s. But wallpaper is returning, in bold, modern patterns. And the best part is, even if you can’t commit to it in large quantities, you can still find a place for it. Bring a visual pop to a room by papering a single wall or the back of a bookcase for an accent.

From hardware to faucets to light fixtures to range hoods, brass is back... but with a sleek, modern look.
