With the rapid growth of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the pursuit of home life has evolved from the simple basic needs of living to the pursuit of quality, comfort and practicality. However, in the tide of decoration, many families have fallen into a misunderstanding of "confusing decoration concept", brainlessly pursuing those household products that seem to be high-end on the surface but are actually used very infrequently, resulting in a waste of home space and lack of practical use.

Recently, through the research and analysis of a large number of home decoration cases in China, we have summarized eight idle and useless household items, and invited netizens to share their feelings about the use of these products, aiming to provide reference suggestions for a wide range of families when decorating.

1. Bathroom bathtub: Behind the romance is embarrassment

As a standard feature in the bathroom, the bathtub has long been seen as a symbol of improving the quality of life. However, for small homes, the actual use value of the bathtub is greatly reduced. Many netizens said that bathtubs are not often used, and the cost of cleaning and maintenance is relatively high, and they often end up becoming an idle item in the bathroom.

Second, the living room coffee table: the shackles of traditional concepts

In the minds of the older generation, a living room without a coffee table always looks incomplete. But with the change of lifestyle, the usefulness of the coffee table is gradually decreasing. Especially for families with young children, the coffee table is a potential safety risk. Netizens suggested that a side table or a small table could be used instead of a coffee table, which would save space and be more practical.

3. Fitness equipment: the consequences of three minutes of heat

Driven by the trend of home fitness, many families have purchased a variety of fitness equipment. However, there are not many people who can actually use these fitness devices on a daily basis consistently. Most of the time, these gym pieces end up being just idle items or decorations in the home. Some netizens called for serious consideration of whether they can continue to exercise before buying fitness equipment.

Fourth, the guest bedroom: sacrificing the utilization of space

Many families set aside a room for emergencies. However, in reality, families and friends do not visit very often, and even if parents visit occasionally, they rarely stay overnight. Over time, this guest bedroom became a place to store miscellaneous items. Netizens suggested that the efficiency of space should be fully considered when designing and decorating to avoid unnecessary waste of resources.

5. Bay window renovation: the gap between ideal and reality

Converting a bay window into a tea table or lounge area seems like a good idea to make more efficient use of space. But in reality, this design often becomes a vacant area of the home because it is not easy to use. Netizens believe that its practicality and comfort should be fully considered before renovating the bay window.

6. Washing machines with drying functions: an unprofitable investment with overlapping functions

Washing machines with a drying function seem to provide a double effect, but in reality the drying effect is not satisfactory. Some netizens said that the drying function of this washing machine is time-consuming and power-consuming, and the drying effect is usually unsatisfactory. Therefore, when buying a washing machine, you should mainly consider the ordinary model, and the drying function can be achieved in other ways.

7. Wine cabinet: for the sake of face

As a symbol to improve the grade of the home and highlight the owner's taste, the wine cabinet has always been sought after by people. But in reality, there are not many wine cabinets that are actually used to display and store wine. Most of the time, the wine cabinet just becomes a place to put your clutter. Netizens suggested that practicality should be prioritized when decorating to avoid unnecessary waste of resources.

8. Pots and pans with low appearance rate: a game of appearance and practicality

For those who love cooking, a variety of pots and pans are naturally indispensable. But the reality is that many pots and pans are shelved after purchase. Netizens suggest that when buying pots and pans, you should focus on practicality and avoid blindly buying just because of appearance or quantity.

In short, China's families should avoid blindly pursuing some seemingly high-end but rarely used household items when decorating, and should pay more attention to practicality and comfort. Create a home environment that is both beautiful and functional by planning your space wisely and choosing practical furniture and appliances.
