Why interior items are not the best gift: it is easy to miscalculate and get into an awkward situation

Choosing gifts for the home is as individual a matter as choosing shoes, clothes or cosmetics.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino warns: without the direct participation of the home owner, it is very difficult to select an item that will ideally fit into the existing interior.

We suggest you find out what things you shouldn’t buy as gifts in order to avoid mistakes and awkward situations.

Home fragrances

A diffuser, aroma candle or aroma lamp are undoubtedly the embodiment of coziness and have the ability to create a relaxing atmosphere. However, choosing a scent is not an easy task, because each of us has our own preferences: someone likes citrus, someone likes pine, and someone likes floral scents.

Bed sheets

A set of bed linen is a necessary and useful gift and no one argues with this. But it happens that it is important for the owners that the linen matches the interior of the bedroom. The wrong color or pattern can ruin the plans of those for whom the gift is intended. And it is not always possible to guess the size.

Dishes

Tableware can also be included in the list of difficult gifts. If you decide to take this step, choose neutral options, such as a set of glasses or a teapot. Avoid mugs with the symbol of the year or plates with Santa Claus, as they can quickly lose their relevance.

Towels

If you choose towels in bright colors or with images of cutlery, they may not fit into a minimalist kitchen interior. Also, don't give red bath towels to someone with a green bathroom. It's better to choose towels in neutral colors, without patterns or designs, so that they are used for their intended purpose.
