In theory, dusting should be one of the easiest household chores. You don’t have to scrub hard or lug around a heavy vacuum or basket of cleaning supplies to get the job done. But even though it doesn’t require elbow grease, it doesn’t mean that dusting is a quick task. You’ve probably tried a variety of different brushes, sponges, and microfiber towels to rid your blinds and light fixtures of dust, only to be dismayed when the product you’re using doesn’t effectively remove it. In most cases, the dust just gets transferred from one spot to another, and your home never truly gets clean. Well, I think I’ve just found the cleaning tool that’ll solve this problem once and for all.

British writer and textile designer William Morris once famously said, “Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” Interior design trends are followed more than ever these days (thanks to platforms like TikTok and Instagram), and while weaving them into your home can create a fresh and current look, at the end of the day, you can stick to whatever you “believe to be beautiful,” even if it’s out. But perhaps following decor trends makes you genuinely happy, or maybe you’re just downright curious. Whatever the case may be, we’ve compiled some styles that are trending upward and downward according to recent research and surveys, as well as the insight of local designers. Here’s what they’re saying about the latest, and not-so-greatest, interior design trends.
