In this society where appearance is justice, who doesn’t have a few things in their home that are not good-looking? Today, I will give you an inventory of some designs that I personally think look “high-end” but are actually very useless. Welcome to debate.

　　Ceiling with light strip

The design of grooved ceiling with light strips is so common that even my home cannot escape it.

The ceiling light strip can indeed increase the sense of space, and the dim light can create a warm atmosphere. But in fact, after you move in, you will find that the light strip is only turned on a few times throughout the year, which is a waste.

More importantly, the high ceiling and the grooved design naturally create a sanitary dead corner. It is difficult to clean it on a regular basis, and the dust accumulated over the years is simply frustrating to clean.

Simply putting a circle of plaster lines is good enough, no need to worry about sanitary dead corners, simple and generous. If you still want a sense of layering, it is OK to make a gypsum board on the outer edge of the groove!

　　Crystal Chandelier

Like the grooved ceiling, the crystal chandelier is just "for show". But there is no way, beautiful things are always charming.

Crystal chandeliers used to be a symbol of wealth and looked good in European-style villas, after all, they were high-ceilinged and made the house look luxurious and grand. But nowadays, they are full of complaints. Normally, a chandelier has dozens to hundreds of crystal balls. When dust falls on it, you have to take each one off and clean it. It is also difficult to replace the light bulbs when they are broken.

What's more, the ceilings of houses nowadays are not very high, so the editor really does not recommend installing crystal chandeliers, which will make the already low layout even lower, and the whole space look very depressing.

For normal ceiling height, it is recommended to choose a design without main lights, as the light is evenly distributed and more in line with the current popular style. The editor will also introduce it in detail in a special issue later.

　　Open wine cabinet

Open wine cabinets are very popular among fathers. They can fill the entire wine cabinet with various wines, and it is fun to just look at them even if you don’t drink them.

In fact, the wine cabinet does not have much function. It has no special function except that it looks high-end and can improve the quality. The wine cabinet is large in size, takes up a large space in the house, and is not very practical. Some even add red wine racks, which can not only hold a few bottles of wine, but also become a disaster area for dust accumulation.

You can install an ordinary sideboard according to the needs of your home, which is neat, generous and practical.

　　Wardrobe internal structure

The external appearance of the wardrobe is important, but the internal layout is more worthy of attention.

Some designers will design many stacking areas for the wardrobe, which looks like it can store a lot of clothes. The clothes are also neatly folded and stored in different areas and categories. However, after using it for a while, you will find that it is unreasonable.

There are too many stacking areas, and once you take the clothes from the bottom, the whole pile has to fall down. No matter how diligent you are, the wardrobe cannot always be kept tidy; the cabinet is also deep, and the clothes placed in the inner rows are impossible to find.

It would be better to spend a few hundred dollars to make a few more drawers. When you open the drawers, you can see everything at a glance, storage is more flexible, and it is convenient to take and put things away.

　　Tatami

It is said that tatami is good and is a blessing for storage in small apartments, but it also depends on what kind of tatami it is.

Liftable tatami has been very popular in recent years. Regardless of the size of the brand, as long as there is a place where tatami is installed, most of the displays are liftable, which looks very fashionable, but in actual use, you will know how useless it is. If the open wine cabinet is the hardest hit area for dust accumulation, then the tatami is the "garbage collection place".

I usually invite a few friends to my house to drink tea and chat about gossip, and the melon seeds and fruit shells they eat fall to the bottom and are difficult to clean. Another point is that it is a bit novel to use it at the beginning, but after using it a few times, it is troublesome to lift the mat. Frequent lifting and lowering will also cause it to break easily, so it will be idle after a few uses, wasting thousands of dollars.

Good-looking designs are all the same, but practical designs are rare. So when it comes to decoration design, practicality should be the main consideration. After all, a house is for living in, not for looking at.
