Furniture is the most functional thing in the home, providing comfort and convenience for life; at the same time, furniture is also a key part of soft furnishings, adding a sense of hierarchy and atmosphere to the space. However, in real life, some furniture is actually good-looking but not practical, and even becomes the source of space occupation and lowering the appearance of the decoration.

As a person who has been through this, in this guide, I have sorted out 10 types of furniture with poor practicality . Many of them are representatives of good-looking but useless. If you are choosing furniture, you should pay special attention to avoid pitfalls in these styles -

1. Large coffee table

Placing a coffee table in the living room seems to be a natural thing, but in fact it pits many people! For ordinary living rooms, the area is limited. If you choose this kind of large coffee table, it will take up precious space. In serious cases, the aisles around will become crowded, making the living room space crowded and depressing. The coffee table becomes a "big fool", which seriously affects the overall atmosphere.

For families with children, the large square coffee table limits the children's space for activities and is easily bumped into, posing a safety hazard.

Suggestion: Instead of putting a big tea table, clear the space in front of the sofa and lay a large carpet, so that adults and children can sit on the floor and move around freely. At the same time, you can use this movable trolley, which can be placed on both sides of the sofa as a side table when not in use, and can be pushed over when tea cups are needed.

If you do have the habit of using a coffee table, you can choose this relatively light and compact style . When not in use, you can easily move it to both sides to free up more space for the living room, making the living room appear more spacious and bringing more possibilities.

2. Long dining table

This long dining table looks very high-end. Have you imagined how great it would be to sit next to it? In fact, you should be careful when choosing a long table that is more than 1.8 meters long, especially if there are no more than 4 people living in your home, because it is difficult to pick up food when sitting at the two ends, it is not practical and takes up space in the restaurant.

Suggestion: For Chinese people, a round table is actually more in line with our dining habits . The whole family can have fun sitting around the table. A round table is more practical than this long dining table.

If you really like a long table, try to choose one with a length of less than 1.6 meters to ensure that people sitting at both ends can also pick up food normally.

3. Lounge Chair

I know that home bloggers all over the Internet are recommending that you use leisure chairs and straight sofas together, which can indeed increase the sense of hierarchy in the living room, but be careful! For small apartments and families with children, the decorative function of leisure chairs is not what you need most, so it is not recommended to choose them. It will occupy the "main road" of the living room and reduce the activity space in the living room.

Suggestion: For families with small apartments and children (especially two children), a spacious living room is more important than a "good-looking" living room . Especially when your sofa is comfortable enough, the leisure chair will really become a "useless" piece of furniture that looks good but is not practical.

4. Large angle sofa

You should also be careful to avoid the pitfalls of the large angled sofas that were once extremely popular. The beautiful large angled sofas you see are all placed in the large living rooms shared by bloggers, or in the large showrooms of merchants, but this type of sofa is a "disaster" for the living rooms of most ordinary households, because the depth of one end of the angle is too deep, which will take up too much space and even directly destroy the originally harmonious living room layout.

Recommendation: Living rooms with an area of ​​less than 120 square meters and that are not decorated in a minimalist style should avoid large-angle sofas and buy straight-row multi-seater sofas instead, which are more flexible and convenient to use.

5. Bunk Beds

Many parents buy this type of bunk bed for their children in the children's room or guest bedroom, thinking that their children will like it very much. In fact, most children do not like sleeping on the upper bunk because it is too close to the ceiling and they feel depressed when sleeping. In addition, the bunk bed is too large, which takes up space and affects the lighting. The upper bunk is also inconvenient to use. It is a big safety hazard for children to get up and down at night, which results in the upper bunk often becoming a pile of debris.

Suggestion: If your family has two children, it is recommended to place two small beds of this type, which are about 90 cm wide . The two children can sleep separately at ordinary times, and they can be put together to form a double bed when necessary, which is very practical.

6. Low back bed

This type of low-back bed often appears in minimalist and modern decoration cases. It does look simple and beautiful, but if you want to buy one, you should think twice! Because the actual use experience of a low-back bed is very bad. Usually, you feel uncomfortable leaning on the head of the bed to read a book or browse your phone. After a long time, the whole person will have back pain and even affect the health of the cervical spine.

Suggestion: If you choose a bed where you can lean against the headboard to browse your phone or read a book, then make sure the height of the soft-padded headboard is around 60 cm . It is not suitable if it is too high or too low.

If you really like a bed with a simple shape, then you can just choose a bed without a headboard or backrest, and add a large cushion at the back, which will also be very comfortable to use.

7. Suspended bed

Are you attracted by the Internet celebrity floating bed? It looks simple and stylish, and you can install a light strip under the bed to increase the atmosphere. However, if you really want to place an order, I advise you to be cautious. This kind of floating bed is not only expensive, but the biggest problem is that it is often not stable. When sitting on the edge, the other end is easy to warp up, and the probability of abnormal noise when sleeping is much higher than that of conventional models.

Suggestion: It is better to buy a regular wooden bed . Try to choose a solid wood bed with a thick frame and dense ribs. It is environmentally friendly and durable, and can be matched with bedrooms with different decoration styles.

8.Bedside stool

Bedside stools are commonly found in bedrooms decorated in European and American retro styles. Retro style decoration has become popular in recent years, so bedside stools often appear in many online celebrity decoration cases. But in fact, the utilization rate of bedside stools is very low, and they often end up being used as a place to pile clothes, and they also take up bedroom space in vain.

Suggestion: It is not recommended to place a bench at the end of the bed in bedrooms of ordinary units . There is nothing wrong with leaving an aisle to make the bedroom more spacious.

If the bedroom of a large apartment or villa is really large and there is empty space at the end of the bed, you can put a sofa or a single chair in it. This will create an extra leisure space in the bedroom and give it a stronger overall sense of hierarchy.

9. Clothes hanger

Clothes hangers are also a kind of furniture in the home that is prone to "collecting dust". They do look very good in the merchants' promotional pictures, and people think it will be convenient to hang clothes on them. However, no matter how expensive or good-looking the clothes hanger is, when you really hang clothes on it, the appearance of the bedroom or dressing room will be ruined. Moreover, this kind of clothes hanger can only hold a few pieces of clothes. If you hang too many pieces of clothes, it will not only be troublesome to take them out, but also easy to fall over. Clothes will easily accumulate dust and deform if hung for a long time.

Suggestion: Design your custom wardrobe well and create a temporary hanging area. Hang clothes you will wear tomorrow in the wardrobe with hangers.

If you really need a clothes hanger in your bedroom or dressing room, then choose this kind of vertical clothes hanger ! Not only does it look clean and tidy, but it is also more convenient to take clothes.

10. Bay window table

You must have seen internet celebrity decoration pictures like the one below? Put a mat on the bay window, and then put a bay window table like this, dreaming of sitting on the bay window on a sunny afternoon to drink a cup of tea or read a book, it must be very comfortable. However, when you actually sit on it, you will find that you can't hold it for 10 minutes before your back and waist ache. Sitting on the bay window is just for taking pictures, which is really a bad experience.

Suggestion: Don’t think about turning the bay window into your leisure area, and don’t waste money to buy such a bay window table. Just leave the bay window empty to make the space more spacious and comfortable.

Remember! The two most comfortable places at home are the bed and the sofa. If you really want to sit comfortably and have a cup of afternoon tea, you should lie on the sofa or the armchair!

Well, here are the 10 kinds of furniture that are not necessary and worth buying! Is there any of them that you have fallen into? Please continue to complain in the ** area!
