Well-known images
When decorating your apartment, you should not choose frank cliches - for example, the Eiffel Tower, London telephone booth, night city. Reproductions of famous artists "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci, "Starry Night" by Van Gogh, "Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali and other popular works of art are also unacceptable. Anything that is easily recognizable runs the risk of quickly becoming commonplace.
Even children's favorite cartoon characters will soon turn into boring ones: if the child asks for them, we recommend purchasing inexpensive accessories with these images - pillowcases and bedding, as well as hanging posters in frames.
To revive the walls, you can choose paintings by unknown but talented artists on the Internet, order a poster with an original drawing or your own photograph.
Furnishings from the catalog
People who want to furnish their home in an original but budgetary way are faced with the problem of choice. It is difficult to find something original in inexpensive furniture stores, and in luxury stores you have to shell out a round sum. It is tempting to decorate the apartment with furniture and decor from IKEA, but then the interior will not reflect the character of its owner.
Items that are purchased for the home should be pleasing to the eye, create coziness and not get bored. For those who care about the environment, we advise you not to rush: your favorite thing can be caught in a construction hypermarket, and at a sale in an elite furniture store, and in the country, and on an ad website.
Large inscription
Vinyl stickers with thoughtful statements, posters with "House Rules", the name of the child cut out of plywood over the crib - at first the words delight, blending into the interior, then merge with it, and after a while they become intrusive. For lettering, you can select a part of the wall, paint over it with slate paint and write your favorite aphorism on it with chalk. If desired, the phrase can be erased and replaced.
Large area photo printing
A bright kitchen apron with fruits, flowers or a landscape, an image of the sky on a stretch ceiling, a self-leveling floor with a rich pattern, photo wallpaper - colorful pictures delight, but after a while, when you want to change something in the situation, they do not allow you to do it. The whole interior has to be built around huge images. Therefore, if you like versatility, you should choose more neutral elements: basic colors will allow you to place bright accents, and, if necessary, change them.
Trendy things
First, a fashionable chair or lamp that flashed in a photograph of a designer interior evokes sympathy, then you find yourself in a cafe or with friends, and soon you are in a hurry to look away from them: they are so often met. If it seems that a thing has become a trend, it is too late to buy it. For decoration, take less familiar and less iconic objects - they also work and are also beautiful and harmonious.
Chesterfield sofas, wooden tables, plain curtains made of noble fabrics, as well as metal and natural stone products remain timeless.
Unwanted gifts
Have you handed a sumptuous gilded service or a fancy vase, but they don't fit in with your favorite loft style? A house of your own should evoke positive emotions, but it is difficult to rejoice in a "stranger" thing, even if it is donated with good intentions. We recommend placing an uninvited object, to which the soul does not lie, in safe hands on a flea market site, and with the proceeds to buy something pleasant for yourself. After all, the person who gave this thing wished you happiness, not an internal struggle.
Inconvenience
How long can you tolerate the ever-soiling black glossy headset? What about a fashionable chair that only causes back discomfort? Or a glass table that responds with a resounding knock to every cup placed? Impractical products quickly get bored, steal free time, and sometimes health. When buying a thing you like, you should carefully weigh all the pros and cons, because the furniture is chosen for a long time.
You should not be led by fashion or strive to impress guests - after all, the interior is built around the person who lives in it, and not vice versa.
