Let’s combine: the perfect decorations, those with matching furniture and all objects in perfect harmony, often only exist in magazines and TV shows. In real life, things are different: generally, we “clog” our houses with little things that can ruin even the design more elegant. Few homes would resist the eye of a good interior designer.
We, from awesome.clubwe carefully studied the opinions of experts and put together a list of items that we should have discarded a long time ago.
1. Sink protector
In the past, the stainless steel sink was very popular. And many people used plastic protectors, which protect the surface from scratches, prevent noise and prevent cracks in the dishes being washed.
Nowadays, however, consumers prefer stone-lined sinks. They are less prone to damage and have a more harmonious appearance. Designers advise lovers of steel sinks to opt for transparent silicone protectors, which are more discreet than obsolete models.
2. Bucket instead of trash can
Many people will notice if you use a regular bucket instead of a trash can. And buckets, in this case, can create a sloppy look. However, there are more modern solutions. Experts guarantee that garbage can indeed be practical, functional and beautiful.
3. Plastic accessories in the bathroom
These accessories have not yet fallen into disuse due to their low cost and ease of purchase — you can buy them at any neighborhood store. However, pieces like this leave the bathroom with a simple look. It must be remembered that accessories play an important role in the composition of an environment. Therefore, it is not worth saving on them.
4. Outdated light fixtures
A chandelier, a sconce and poor lighting are capable of spoiling the interior of any room. Therefore, the best thing is to simply abandon the models that were in vogue 10 or 20 years ago. Stylish lamps and the right lighting can visually enlarge a small space and make the interior more cozy.
5. Round bed
This model only works well in certain types of rooms, as it takes up a lot of space and requires special bedding. It’s time to leave that impractical piece of furniture in the past.
6. Bathroom curtain
It seems that polyethylene bathroom curtains will still be forgotten for a while. But if you want to create a more stylish environment for your bathroom, designers recommend replacing them with a shower stall, which brings a more elegant and refined look.
7. German corner for kitchen and dining room
This piece of furniture is capable of making your kitchen look outdated in an instant. Plus, it’s a bulky piece and takes up valuable space. Professionals advise considering other alternatives for the dining area.
8. Fake fireplace
Fake decor elements have lost their popularity among designers and decorators. These days, simple and natural materials are at their peak. It is better, therefore, to leave aside the fake plasterboard fireplace (which is a real antique) and choose a more elegant option. Here you will find a good suggestion on how to create a harmonic environment without seeming fake🇧🇷
9. Large leather furniture
The bulky leather furniture set tops the “anti-trend” list. It is an extremely expensive item, not very comfortable and seems to be more appropriate for a professional environment, such as an office, than for a home. Also, it can make the space look tacky and decrease the area of the room. This type of furniture best harmonizes with the interior when placed in a country or summer house.
10. Large Filters
Large filters can make the kitchen look cluttered, something designers always try to avoid. It is better to choose higher quality and more attractive devices for purifying water.
11. Oversized corner computer table
In the 1990s and 2000s, this piece of furniture adorned the corners of rooms in many homes. Huge computer desks with shelves for storing disks and a keyboard compartment are a thing of the past. Today, they can be replaced by a multifunctional and lighter piece of furniture.
12. Padded or wooden toilet seat
These seat models are considered unhygienic, and their design is outdated. Choose newer and “cool” models.
13. Cheap scented candles
Cheap scented candles not only emit a strong and very sweet smell, but also harmful substances. It is better to pay a little more for a quality product that is not harmful to health. An excellent alternative is an aroma diffuser, which can also be used as a decorative piece for the home.
14. Old or cheap indoor doors
Doors are, yes, an item that counts in decoration. They are often an indicator of social and financial status. Therefore, professionals recommend not skimping on them. After all, budget models not only lose in quality, but also make the interior look cheaper (in the negative sense of the word) and outdated.
15. Common dishes instead of special feeders for pets
It is difficult to call a kitchen elegant and luxurious if there is an inappropriate animal feeder in it, such as an old plate or plastic bowl.
16. Compartment in plastic as a bathtub finish
These compartments fulfill two main functions: they hide the sewer pipes and allow you to store small objects. They are practical, but not very aesthetic. Today, designers increasingly prefer bathtubs without additional accessories and with an elegant and classic look. We believe that a metal foot (instead of the plastic housing) solves the situation well. You will not feel sorry for storing all household products in a separate closet.
17. Plastic sink drain
This detail can spoil the impression of even the most expensive and modern kitchen. The sink is often full of small eye-catching details, so it is advisable not to overwhelm its appearance.
18. Old office chair
Over time, many chairs lose their shape, become uncomfortable and untidy: the fabric wears out, the leather cracks and the upholstery sags. If you have a chair in this situation, don’t forget to change it when necessary. After all, comfort in the workplace positively influences your performance. Don’t skimp on chair quality. Your back, neck, and body in general will thank you.
