The desire to make an apartment more comfortable or to give it unique features makes us buy things that in the end turn out to be not very necessary.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , such things only clutter the room, create a feeling of disorder and do not perform any useful functions.
You're probably dying to know what these items are - the top 5 of them are listed below.
Cloud Chandelier
When you see a cloud-shaped chandelier in a store, it can be hard to resist buying it. However, its beauty hides its drawbacks - it quickly collects dust, is difficult to maintain, and its soft, warm texture can attract insects.
Soft Toilet Seat Cover
This accessory certainly looks cute and attractive, but in real life it turns out to be uncomfortable and impractical. The cover quickly collects bacteria, becomes dirty and starts to smell bad, which is why it has to be washed often.
Artificial flowers in a floor vase
Artificial flowers can be called a real dust collector, and cleaning the petals and leaves from dust can take an hour or more. Therefore, we recommend replacing a large vase with artificial flowers with a shelf or a live flower on a high stand, which will look good in the corner of the room, next to an armchair or sofa.
Fake fireplace
We are not talking about those fireplaces that imitate fire and crackling wood, but about fake products that over time turn into a shelf where various small items accumulate, from keys to chargers. Instead of a feeling of warmth and coziness from the fireplace, we get only visual noise.
Paper butterflies on the wall
Butterflies on the wall look cute and may make you want to decorate your room with them, because such decor is easy to do with your own hands. However, such applications cannot be called practical. In most cases, the room looks cheap with them, and if there is a cat in the house, it may start hunting for butterflies. In addition, when you decide to replace them with something else, there is a risk of damaging the wallpaper.
Earlier we answered the question of whether it is possible to create an interior in which you don’t have to clean often.
