Boring means that it's predictable, something you'd expect or have seen before.
In design you work towards a desired outcome, usually something that adresses a group of people, and therefore a set of characteristics. The outcome can be repeated, or changed in a predictable manner. That what lies between the outcome and your intent is what design is obsessed with, process, templating, decoupling from environmental factors, including your own personal characteristics. Sounds like functional and good OO programming right?
Art is the opposite, it's obsessed about capturing unique outcomes, originality. This means that what lies between the outcome and your intent is also about the opposite, coupling unique personal and evironmental inputs.
Performing arts, or arts and crafts are more like design, outcome driven, it's only that they can't remove human inputs because those are also expected to be there.
