According to some interior designers, the word art trend is on its way out because it lacks personality or design appeal, making it a tacky addition to home spaces (per The U.S. Sun). Nowadays, having a one-word sign naming the space it's hanging in could be considered a design faux pas, as Brick noted.
As mentioned by Family Handyman, the word art trend was heavily accompanied by modern farmhouse touches such as shiplap wood and sliding barn doors — accents that are losing popularity. With this in mind, it makes sense that such a staple of the modern farmhouse look is similarly becoming less fashionable.
Even though interior designers believe word art is tacky, that doesn't necessarily mean you should throw out every piece of word-adorned art if it's truly what you love. Interior designer Shaolin Low says in an interview with MyDomaine, "Who cares if your neighbors or the general public don't like your space? It really doesn't matter. What you love is all that matters and your space should represent who you are or make you feel a certain way — be that calm, happy, or excited."
