There are many pieces of furniture that you don’t really need, but you buy them home because of various distracting thoughts.

Once you start using it, you will regret your original choice more and more, and become more and more convinced of Occam's razor, which is often mentioned by minimalists:

If it is not necessary, do not add entities! Pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate.

1. Large soft bed

A bed just needs to be firm and breathable.

Soft bags are fine, but be sure to pay attention to the size.

Especially for small apartments, some upholstered beds are incredibly large, often 2.5 meters long. For an ordinary bedroom that is a little over 3 meters wide, this is really too big!

2. Tatami and box bed

It is not suitable for the humid areas in the south, as it will easily become moldy and waterlogged.

If you have too much stuff, throw some away!!!

3. Multi-functional sofa

The main problem is that it is too ugly and cannot match any decoration style.

In fact, in terms of comfort, functional sofas are quite comfortable.

But multi-person functions are really unnecessary. If you want to buy a sofa for a home, a single-person sofa is enough!

This is also the limit of ugliness that most people can accept.

4. Wide-body sofa with large armrests

The principle is the same as that of an upholstered bed. It looks okay in the store, but when you bring it home you will be shocked by its size.

For most living rooms with a width of only 3 meters or more, it feels like the sofa can take up half of the living room.

In addition, don’t be fooled by the appearance of “wide sofas where you can sit cross-legged like Ge You”. After sitting for a long time, you will find that it is actually not as comfortable as normal sitting posture with a lumbar support!

There is an essential difference between looking comfortable and being truly comfortable.

5. Coffee table

If the living room is not big and there are children at home, it is better to abandon the coffee table and leave the space for children to play! It is enough to put fruits, tea and other things on the side table.

Otherwise, one day, you will move the coffee table aside and feel that it is useless.

6. Long dining table over 1.4 meters

It is very difficult for people sitting at the two ends to pick up food!

If you are dining alone and there are many people in your family, a round table is recommended. A square table can be used in a small apartment.

Of course, if you need to work, a large long table is quite comfortable!

7. Turntable dining table

It is a super large round table that needs to be configured.

For an average family, there is really no need to use a turntable for a meal of three dishes. On the contrary, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning the table.

8. TV background wall

It’s about the same price as a TV cabinet.

But the latter can take into account both beauty and practicality, and can put away all the messy things in the house to make the house tidy.

The more you look at the TV background wall, the more you feel like you have been taken advantage of.

9. Living room curtains

To have a good sleep in the bedroom, you must use opaque blackout curtains; unless there is a projection in the living room, there is no need to use curtains.

Making a layer of gauze curtain is beautiful and can block the view of people on the opposite side. It is perfect.

10. European and American classical large furniture

These things were originally used in castles. They are difficult to use in modern villas with open spaces, not to mention large flats and small apartments...

It doesn't bring a sense of elegance or grandeur to the home at all, it only makes people feel oppressive and cramped.

11. Qing Dynasty furniture, mahogany

Qing Dynasty furniture, like European and American classical furniture, was built for the mansions of old aristocrats and is not suitable for large flats or small apartments.

Most rosewoods have no collection value. Don't buy rosewood with the purpose of collecting. The ones that are truly collectible are not something that ordinary people like us can afford.

12. Open Grid Wine Cabinet

The only practical function is to store an umbrella!

Wine cannot be stored there, because if you are really a wine lover, you must know that wine must be stored at a constant temperature and humidity.

Therefore, making a grid wine cabinet at home is really a matter of face, stupidity, and difficulty in cleaning!

13. Bar

The scene depicted is: a few good friends come and sit at the bar, drinking and chatting!

But experience tells us: it is more pleasant to go out with friends to drink beer and eat barbecue. You say it is not romantic, but the atmosphere in a bar is always better than at home.

Then you might say: I can also read, write and work at the bar!

So why not use a desk?

14. Bunk Beds

In the homes I have seen, the upper levels of the bunk beds have become storage and miscellaneous spaces!

You also have to keep an eye on the children at home and not let them go up to play, for fear that they might fall from up there.

Moreover, because modern houses generally have low ceilings, sleeping on the upper bunk bed is a bit depressing, so unless you have no choice, don't get a bunk bed!

15. Hanging Basket

It's a bit like a bar, it looks comfortable but the actual experience is terrible.

16. Tree Branch Clothes Hanger

Although some of them look very high-end and have won many awards, as long as they are tree-branch shaped clothes hangers, clothes hung on them will look dull and messy.

If you want a clothes hanger in the bedroom, you should use this kind of horizontal bar. You can hang clothes on it, and it has a dirty clothes basket underneath. You can put several pieces of clean clothes in it without it looking messy.

In addition, it is best to have wheels so that it can be easily moved, cleaned, and used as a clothes rack in the bathroom.

17. Bedside Stool

You can do this in a large bedroom if you want, but forget about it in a small bedroom. Just use a clean clothes hanger to put your clothes.

18. Coconut palm mattress

A hard mattress does not mean it is good for lumbar spine. What is important is that it has good support.

Therefore, you must use coconut coir mattresses unless you have a bad back or are a child or an elderly person. Humid places can easily induce rhinitis.

19. Transformed furniture

Murphy beds, folding tables... they do look cool, but once you use them, you'll find that they are either never opened or never put away.

Because it is very troublesome to open and put away every time, if your home is not so limited, it is better not to buy deformable furniture.

20. Desk and sofa

Many people would equip their desks with single sofas, but this is not recommended. Desk chairs are for sitting for long periods of time, so the best choice is an ergonomic chair.

21. Large Chandelier

Once you’ve done a thorough cleaning, you’ll realize how torturous a large, extravagant chandelier can be.

Moreover, for most families with a ceiling height of only 2.7 meters, the effect is really just that, and the lamp may be hit accidentally. It is more suitable for no main lamp or ceiling lamp.

22. Bedside table

It’s not that you can’t afford a bedside table, but that the alternatives are more cost-effective.

Today's trolley racks, side tables, even boxes and small tables are all cheaper and better looking than bedside tables.

It can also meet the core functions of storing mobile phones and water cups.

23. Massage Chair

After visiting the home furnishing mall several times, I realized that the size of the massage chair is so exaggerated, the price is so expensive, and the experience is so average!

The key is, will the frequency of use of this thing really be high?

Just think about a 20,000 yuan massage chair that can make me go to a massage parlor 100 times. I think it’s not worth it!

24. Latex products

Especially when you go to Thailand, don't buy latex products.

25. Armchair

It is a necessity for the elderly but not for young families. When buying, pay attention to the height of the armchair. It must be lower than the height of the dining table, otherwise it will be embarrassing if it cannot be stored.

26. Children's lamps and furniture

In a few days, your child may no longer like the children's lamps you chose.

In a few years, your children may find the children's furniture in your home childish!

27. Sofa bed

Similar to a bunk bed, it is a helpless choice in itself. It is uncomfortable to sleep on or sit on.

If it is possible not to add a sofa bed, then don't do it.

28. Dining table and coffee table with induction cooker

Induction cookers are easy to damage, and most of them will break down after a few years. At that time, the furniture stores where you bought the coffee table and dining table may not still be open, making after-sales service difficult.

29. Dressing Table

I feel like not pretending would be a bit disrespectful to the hostess of the house.

But the hostess may not use it very well. I have seen many girls who have dressing tables at home, but they still go to the sink to put on makeup. The dressing table is more often a place to store cosmetics.

30. Whole net spring bed

Turning over makes a lot of noise. I wanted to sneak out to smoke a cigarette at night, but as soon as I got up, my wife woke up. And it doesn’t conform to the human physiological curve.

In comparison, independent bag springs are more reliable, and no wonder they have become mainstream.

31. Carved furniture

It is extremely torturous to clean, yes!

32. Custom sofa

Making sofas is a technical job. A finished sofa needs multiple proofings before it can be adjusted to be suitable and comfortable.

It's custom-made, I don't know how to make samples, and I don't have the ability to make a good sofa. It's made of board, which adds another source of pollution to the home.

33. Futon, coffee table

It's similar to a hammock, which looks very Zen, but is actually not comfortable or happy at all to sit on.

Afterwards I figured it out: it was a seat for ascetics, so it couldn't be comfortable!

34. Upholstered furniture

Nowadays, many families choose soft-padded beds, chairs, shoe-changing benches, and even tables and walls.

It's not that soft-packing is bad, but you must make sure what the material inside the soft-packing is before selling it? Because most of the soft-packed furniture that is disassembled is density board, and the density board is completely exposed.

I am not a blogger who likes to "create environmental anxiety", but this exposed, unsealed density board will be harmed by formaldehyde even if the king of heaven comes! ! !
