Our houses rapidly become cluttered with small items that utterly detract from even the most elegant interior design. All designers would throw these things away without hesitation or regret because they negate any efforts made to create a beautiful and comfortable living area.\n

We carefully studied the opinions of professionals and we\u2019ve come up with a list of items that should have been retired a long time ago.\n

1. Mat for the kitchen sink\n

\"\"\n

In the past, stainless-steel sinks were wildly popular. People used to also buy plastic mats that protected the coating from scratches, suppressed noise, and protected the dishes from chipping.\n

Today, people more often choose sinks made of artificial or natural stone that are less susceptible to damage and look more aesthetically pleasing. For fans of stainless-steel sinks, designers advise having a look at transparent silicone mats that don\u2019t attract as much attention as their outdated predecessors.\n

2. A utility bin as a trash bin\n

These bins are often kept out in plain sight and look sloppy and dreary. Fortunately, contemporary design solutions have transformed this object too. Experts are sure that the waste disposal area can be not only practical and functional but also beautiful.\n

3. Plastic sets of bathroom accessories\n

They still can be found in apartments pretty often because of their low cost and availability. But plastic accessories only cheapen the interior of the bathroom. Don\u2019t forget that accessories play an important role in the interior. That\u2019s why you definitely shouldn\u2019t try to save money on them.\n

4. Outdated chandelier\n

Outdated chandeliers, sconces, and dim lighting can ruin the interior of any room. Give up the models that were trendy 10-20 years ago, without any regrets. Stylish lighting fixtures and the right lighting can visually expand the space and make the interior feel cozier.\n

5. Round beds\n

\"\"\n

A round bed doesn\u2019t look appropriate in every bedroom. It takes up a lot of space and requires special bedding. It\u2019s time to leave this not very practical piece of furniture in the past.\n

6. Shower curtain\n
\"\"

Plastic multicolored curtains for the bathroom still haven\u2019t gone away. Designers are outraged with this fact and strongly recommend replacing these curtains with protective glass structures that look stylish and expensive.\n

7. Soft kitchen corner\n

This detail looks outdated, cumbersome, and eats up precious space. Experts advise considering alternative options for the dining area.\n

8. Decorative fake fireplace\n

\"\"\n

Fake decor elements aren\u2019t popular among designers, because simplicity and natural materials are trendy today. We suggest getting rid of these false fireplaces made of plasterboard without any regret and selecting a stylish alternative. Like for example, these.\n

9. Solid leather furniture\n

\"\"\n

A bulky leather set is at the top of the list of hopelessly outdated sofas. It\u2019s way too expensive, looks stiff, and isn\u2019t the most comfortable option to sit on. In addition, in an average apartment, it looks ridiculous and eats up valuable space. Leather furniture would probably look more harmonious in a country house.\n

10. Water filter jug\n

These filters \u200b\u200bcreate a \u201cvisual noise\u201d effect in the kitchen that all designers don\u2019t like. You can safely get rid of this relic of the past, because today, there are more attractive-looking devices that are better quality and still filter your water.\n

11. Bulky computer desks\n

In the 1990s and 2000s, this piece of furniture was proudly flaunted in the corner of the room in almost every apartment. Massive computer desks with storage shelves and a retractable keyboard compartment are an item from the past. Today, they\u2019ve been replaced with mobile, lightweight, multifunctional furniture.\n

12. Soft or wooden toilet seats\n

These seats aren\u2019t hygienic, and their design is hopelessly outdated. We can safely forget about this item from the \u201990s like a bad dream.\n

13. Scented candles\n

\"\"\n

Cheap scented candles not only emit a pungent and sickeningly strong smell, but they also release harmful substances into the air. It\u2019s better to pay a little more for a really high-quality product to know for sure that it won\u2019t harm your health. An excellent alternative is an aromatic diffuser with interior perfume for your home.\n

14. Cheap or old interior doors\n

Doors are an integral part of the interior and an indicator of the status and income of the homeowners. Professionals don\u2019t advise trying to save money on them. After all, cheap models not only show their poor quality, but they also make the interior look cheap and outdated.\n

15. Dishes not intended for feeding a pet\n

No kitchen can be called stylish and luxurious if there is an old saucer for the cat in the corner.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
