"While some of the beloved home design trends of the moment are pretty timeless (I'm looking at you, subway tile and mid-century modern), others go out as fast as they came in. The early 2000s were a prime example of this phenomenon; though we're only talkin' 20 or so years ago, it's kind of astonishing how many uber-popular trends from the early aughts really failed to stick around."
"Whether you love 'em, hate 'em, or feel indifferent altogether, these are some of the most popular home trends and features from the early '00s that you just don't see as much these days. And if this post jogs your memory about a trend we left off this list, use the comments above or below to add one of your own and your submission could be featured in a future BuzzFeed post."
"1. The almighty Tuscan kitchen (or: Olive Garden kitchen) that, I'm sorry to say it, did not evoke even a single authentic Italian vibe. Warning: INTENSE nostalgia ahead... 9. And it wasn't just red, either. Long before BRAT, kids, we had lime green accent walls. 16. Ladies and gentlemen: the one and only brown-speckled granite countertop. If there's a now-obsolete home design trend that you're thrilled to never see again (or desperately want back), we want to hear from you."
Early 2000s home-design trends were highly popular but many have not endured. Distinctive features from that era include Tuscan-style kitchens, lime-green accent walls, and brown-speckled granite countertops. Some contemporary trends remain timeless, such as subway tile and mid-century modern, while others faded quickly. Strong nostalgia surrounds certain obsolete looks, yet reactions range from affection to relief at their disappearance. Reader contributions are invited to name other vanished trends, with the possibility of featuring submissions in future posts.
