Have you seen a new bathroom built with glass bricks in the past decade? Probably not. That's because although glass brick bathrooms were trendy 30 years ago, at some point, interior design professionals made an unofficial collective decision that they looked hideous.
The same will eventually be said for many of the current design trends that have become almost painfully ubiquitous.
