Cheap plastic, fridge magnets and other items that make interiors look cheap

Many people make a lot of mistakes when decorating their flats. As a result, even if a lot of money is spent, the interior looks cheap. To avoid this, you can study the advice of interior designers. They tell you what should not be in the flat.

Cheap plastic window sills

Undoubtedly practical and easy-care items. However, they are in stark contrast to expensive renovations and do not achieve the desired effect. Therefore, if you are planning to make an impression, it is better to choose window sills made of natural stone or similar materials. Also, don’t forget that cheap plastic is unsafe.

Furniture from stock shops

It’s worth remembering right away that economy shops always bet on the availability of furniture rather than its quality. Therefore, it is made from the cheapest material and it immediately catches the eye. In addition, this type of furniture is not very durable and you are constantly replacing it. In this case, it is better to buy something more expensive, but in the long run it will definitely pay off and show that the owner has a sense of style.

Magnets on refrigerators

Probably 90% of inhabitants of the country have them. Many people collect their magnets and ask friends to bring them back from holidays. However, such an accessory definitely does not decorate the interior and makes it cheap. Of course, you could consider keeping the really beautiful and expensive magnets, but budget Chinese fakes are better to throw out altogether. And if they are expensive as a memory, they can be kept in a special box. And if your guests are curious, you can always show them your collection.

Insufficient lighting

The lack of good lighting, in and of itself, makes for a depressing environment. There are, of course, exceptions to this. We’re talking about styles which involve darker variations. But it has to be well thought out and not make you feel uncomfortable. However, some people make a serious mistake. They try to decorate their flat in more than one style, and the result is a dark grey colour that doesn’t really look good. As a result, guests, and indeed residents themselves, feel uncomfortable. Poor lighting is also bad for the eyes.

Multilevel ceilings

Tiered ceilings are no longer fashionable. Rather, simplicity in style is now prevalent. Therefore, complex constructions are completely out of place. To make your living space modern, simply choose a solid coloured stretch ceiling with spot lighting.

Fluffy toys and figurines

In general, soft toys are appropriate only in the room of a child. In all other cases, they are just a dust collector and spoil the appearance of the room. Therefore, if there are no children in the family, all these useless toys is better to get rid of. Find someone to take them away for free will not be a problem. And if you keep the soft toys, but they are more likely to indicate that the owner (or mistress) barely out of childhood and are unlikely to be able to make their own serious decisions.

Almost the same is true of all sorts of figurines and souvenirs. Most of the time, they just take up space in the flat and collect dust. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to create a cosy and modern style with them. If you do want to put some figurine in your flat, you should choose it responsibly, so it blends in perfectly with the overall style of the room.

Standard fittings

In order not to clutter up your flat with ‘just like everyone else’ décor items, remember the cardinal rule: do not shop at large hypermarkets. If you really want to decorate your flat with a beautiful object, it is better to take your time and find it in specialized sites. It is important to make sure that no one you know has the décor item.
