For me, a house that is comfortable and enjoyable to live in is the best it can be, not spending a fortune and then having to redecorate it later. However, despite all my calculations, I have made mistakes many times myself. Not only did I buy the wrong furniture, but my family also bought it, often following the trends of some " online celebrities " and it turned out to be not practical at all!

​

Taking advantage of the good weather, I took inventory of the household items in my home that had been collecting dust for a long time. I found that there were 3 kinds of household items that I had only used a few times since I bought them and were directly thrown into the trash .

So I advise everyone to throw away useless household items at home if possible. It is better than hoarding them and letting them gather dust and take up space. Don’t let them pile up!

〈1〉Sofa cushions

​

When I watched a blogger's pillow video, the cute and beautiful pillow really captured my heart, and I bought it without even thinking about it. In terms of quality, the pillow is of good quality, with fine material and soft fabric.

At first, I loved the pillow I just bought, and I would lean on it like a baby when I got home from get off work. But after a while, the novelty wore off, and the pillow naturally became a decoration. Why?

​

There are three reasons:

① I feel my neck gets sore easily if I lean on the pillow too often. ② During the rainy season, the pillow tends to get moldy and have a strange odor.

③After washing the pillow several times, it began to fade and became unsightly.

Nowadays, pillows have more and more patterns and styles due to the designers' flexible ideas, and you can also print your own photos on them.

But the question is, do you think I’m complaining about the pillow not being easy to use?

​

No, it was because it was hard to wash and moldy. I didn't dare put the pillow in the living room during the return of the south wind, so I put it in the cabinet. Later, after it was left there for a long time, I forgot about it and when I took it out again, it was in the trash can.

〈2〉Bar

​

I still regret installing a bar. Was it to take a break from my busy schedule, have a drink with my loved one and chat about life? Or to meet up with friends?

In the end I realized that it was of no use at all, so I just took it apart and threw it away!

​

At that time, I was renovating my house, so in order to buy a bar, I cleared out a corner of the living room, which saved me a few thousand yuan. I went to the market to select the boards myself, hired an installer, and bought high stools, cups, and other accessories online.

​

Wouldn't it be more convenient to have a washing machine that can wash and dry both at the same time? I thought so at first, but after using it for a while, I decided to put it aside.

This washing machine with a washer and dryer can perform multiple functions in a small space. After washing clothes, it can also dry them automatically. It is very useful in winter. You don’t have to worry about clothes not drying in the south wind. It is highly efficient.

​

Similarly, household items with advantages also have disadvantages:

① It cannot be dried completely . It is true that it has a drying function, but the drying function can only achieve a level higher than the spin drying function, that is, it is slightly drier than the spin drying function, and cannot achieve complete drying. It still needs to be dried manually.

② Easy to wrinkle . Because the clothes are kept in a high temperature and slow drying state for a long time, they are easy to wrinkle after drying . In addition, clothes are easily damaged and not durable if they are dried frequently.

​

●What household items can you buy that will not be left unused and are easy to use?

Some furniture and items may seem unremarkable or just look new and unattractive, but we don’t really buy them until we see our friends using them. Only then do we realize how good they really are!

For example, the following 5 kinds of household items will not be idle when you buy them, and they are also easy to use:

①Octopus clothes drying rack

​

The name is weird, but it doesn’t matter. The key is whether it is practical. The first time I saw this clothes rack, I thought the designer was very creative. When the rack was opened, it really looked like an octopus.

The storage and drying effects are very good. You can hang some underwear on it and take it to the balcony to dry without taking up any space. Not only can you dry clothes, but you can also dry small blankets and sheets. Just spread the blanket flat on it!

② Fabric sofa

Sofas are made of many materials, including rattan, leather, fabric, solid wood, velvet, etc. Leather and solid wood sofas are the most expensive, costing tens of thousands of yuan each. Few people would choose them, and most would choose durable and cheap ones.

Among them, I prefer to use a fabric sofa. Cover it with a layer of cloth and choose any pattern. It can be washed when it is dirty and replaced with . It is equivalent to changing the style at will. Unlike a leather sofa, it does not require regular maintenance to make it more durable.

​

If you don't pursue quality, fabric sofas are all similar online. If you pursue good quality, it is recommended that you choose a big brand.

③1.5m double bed

Most young people nowadays

For couples who want to cultivate their relationship, a 1.5-meter double bed is more suitable.

④Entrance cabinet

It is very necessary to install a porch cabinet, which can store small items, block part of the sight and protect privacy . Because many apartment designs have entrance doors that allow you to see the sofa at first glance, or the entire hall at a glance, installing a porch cabinet can have a blocking effect.

⑤ Storage rack

​

How can you decorate your house without a shelf? Shelves can be placed in areas such as the kitchen, balcony, and living room. They are used to store small items, snacks, etc. For those with poor memory, shelfs can play a good storage role and make it easy to find things when using them.

Conclusion

While decorating a house is important, purchasing furniture is also very important. If you don’t want to waste money, try to buy less unnecessary or infrequently used household items and furniture. Earning money is not easy, so don’t spend money indiscriminately.
