This is the last century! 12 things in the house that are long outdated

In the modern world there is a cult of things. We are chasing beautiful things, fashionable gadgets and stylish accessories, trying to create comfort in our home by cluttering the space. Sometimes in this pursuit we forget about a sense of proportion, filling our lives with unnecessary junk that has long gone out of fashion. Our home is an internal reflection of ourselves, so in order not to be branded as a person who “lives in the past,” take a careful look around, maybe it’s time to get rid of some useless things?!

1. The list of such things opens with plush toys. The time has already passed when everyone around gave each other cute furry animals. Of course, if there are small children in your house, then this is rather an exception, and a couple of cute animals can be left until your child grows up. But if you carefully store the soft toys given to you in your youth, place them on the sofa or on a separate shelf on the wall - this is only indicates your bad taste. In addition, plush toys accumulate dust over the years, and this is no longer safe.

2. Ornate mirrors look no less cheap and tasteless. Especially if it is a large wall-length mirror framed with a gilded frame. Such things look vulgar and have no place in a cozy home atmosphere. You should also avoid pieces of furniture with mirror surfaces. The time of wardrobes with mirrored doors is a thing of the past. They are being replaced by seasoned wardrobes with different textures. Fortunately, the choice is now very large.

3. Bed linen made of silk and satin. This is especially true in cases where the bed, made of satin or silk, is on display. Silk underwear used to be considered a fashion statement, but now people with taste and money prefer natural materials.

4. Fake paintings on the walls. No self-respecting person would bring a fake into his home. It is better to buy a painting by an unknown author, but which will be combined with interior items. Paintings in wide gilded or bronze frames, which, as a rule, absolutely do not fit the overall style of the room, look no less cheap and comical.

5. Greasy, faded and tattered furniture upholstery. There is no need for unnecessary words here. Even if a sofa with leather upholstery has been passed down in your family from generation to generation, give it a new life: reupholster it with new leather or another fabric with a fashionable texture. This will breathe new life into your home.

Refuse outdated bedspreads on sofas, this is no longer relevant. And putting greasy furniture in order will not be difficult at all, even at home.

6. Display of wealth. Many people fill all the extra space with absolutely unnecessary equipment. In the kitchen, a huge number of appliances gather dust because they were turned on only once a day of purchase, a lot of unnecessary equipment: players, VCRs, stereo systems, fondue pots and egg boilers. Feel free to throw everything you don’t use into the trash can, or give it away to those in need.

7. Combination of branded items with low quality items. You can often find apartments furnished with the most ordinary inexpensive furniture, and in the center of the ceiling there can be a huge branded chandelier with Swarovski crystals.The desire to appear richer than you really are only makes you even poorer in the eyes of others.

8. Hoarding. Any unnecessary trash: old magazines, newspapers, broken equipment - this is something that needs to be gotten rid of immediately. In addition to the fact that such things fill the house with bad energy, they also characterize you as a greedy person and a moral poor person.

9. Decorative figures and figurines. Everything is good in moderation. Previously, it was fashionable to collect various figurines and carefully arrange them on some chest of drawers. Now this is not relevant, although a couple of exquisite figurines can be left if they fit into the overall style of the room. If they are precious as a memory, and you carefully collected them from all over the world, just remove them from a prominent place and keep them only for yourself.

10. Soft decorative pillows. It's one thing to have a couple of extra pillows to put comfortably under your head while reading. But something completely different is the abundance of mismatched pillows scattered on the sofa in the living room. Such decor will only tell about you as a person who lives in the distant past, when stuffed pillows symbolized prosperity.

11. Huge crystal chandeliers. The time has passed when it was fashionable to decorate your ceiling with crystal, and the more of it, the better. Nowadays it is better to adhere to minimalism in the interior. And you can illuminate the room not only with immense chandeliers, but also with built-in spotlights and stylish sconces.

12. Magnets on refrigerators. They are brought from all over the world, given by friends and close relatives. Once upon a time it really worked, and people were surprised at the abundance of places you visited.Now it’s better to get rid of this demonstration, since trips abroad will no longer surprise anyone, and the endless number of magnets only makes the interior cheaper.

A person with a sense of style is distinguished by the fact that he first of all thinks about the benefits of things. And even if it is very difficult for you to part with some things that have long since lost their relevance, try to at least temporarily remove them from your visibility. You will immediately notice a huge difference. This will immediately transform your home and add coziness and comfort to it.
