There are some decoration designs or furniture that you only discover whether they are easy to use and practical after you move in.

Especially when we buy furniture, we always feel that every piece of furniture is very useful and we want to buy it for our home.

However, after you actually move in, you will find that some items are quite useless.

Today, Qijia Anan will share with you these 7 items, which are useless. It is a pity to throw them away, but they are useless to keep. When I renovate again, I will never buy these 7 items again.


1. Living room coffee table

After only half a year of living here, the first very useless item I discovered was a large coffee table I bought for the living room.

In fact, the area of ​​my living room is quite large, with a width of almost 4 meters and a length of 7 meters.

So, I thought that my living room was big, so I bought a big coffee table.

The size of the coffee table I bought for my home is 800mm x 1300mm. Actually, it didn't seem very big at the time, but when it was delivered to my home, it was full.


This big coffee table is really useless in the living room because of the following problems:

1. It takes up space, making activities in the living room very inconvenient.After putting the large coffee table in place, the passage between the coffee table and the TV wall becomes very narrow, making it difficult to pass through.

2. The living room is full, which makes people feel very depressed.After this big coffee table was placed in the living room, it filled up the entire living room. The originally spacious living room became full and uncomfortable.


Recommended Practice:

1. If we buy a coffee table, try to buy a smaller size. For example, you can buy a 600×1000 mm, similar to this size, which looks good in the living room.

2. In fact, I personally recommend that you buy a small round coffee table, or a small side table. Usually put it next to the sofa, and put it in the middle when in use, which saves space and is easy to use.


2. Rock slab integrated basin

After living here for only half a year, the second very useless thing I discovered was the integrated stone slab basin installed in the bathroom.

In fact, when I was renovating the bathroom, I compared the ceramic integrated basin and the rock slab integrated basin.

Finally, I chose a rock slab integrated basin because it is indeed more beautiful than a ceramic integrated basin.

However, for some household items, we should not only focus on their appearance, but also pay more attention to whether they are practical.

Among them, the integrated rock slab basin is a very typical example.


Because of the integrated rock slab basin in my home, the following problems occurred after living in it for half a year:

1. The edge of the sink and the joints between the countertop and the wall became moldy and black.These parts are covered with silicone sealant. If the water does not dry for a long time, they will gradually become moldy and black.

2. The gap between the sink and the tarsal plate is getting bigger and bigger.This also led to me being almost afraid to wash clothes in a basin later on. I always used a basin to collect water and wash outside the sink, because after a long time, if it was subjected to external force, the sink might fall off.


Recommended Guidelines:

1. For most bathrooms, I personally recommend that you consider a ceramic integrated basin. The ceramic integrated basin is actually quite nice, and the key is that it is cleaner, more hygienic, and more durable.

2. If we choose a rock slab integrated basin, we must pay attention to the bonding method between the basin body and the rock slab. There must be reinforcement measures, not just glass glue bonding.


3. Large-screen refrigerator

After living here for only half a year, the third extremely useless item I discovered was the large-screen refrigerator in my home.

In fact, large-screen refrigerators are still quite popular now because they look really good.

However, we should think about the purpose of buying a refrigerator. In fact, it is nothing more than to store some food.

Instead, you use the refrigerator screen to track images, listen to music, etc.


Therefore, the large-screen refrigerator finally became useless because it has the following problems:

1. The screen is just for show and is not useful at all. At first, it may be a little bit novel and you may pay attention to it. After a while, the screen is what it is and you no longer pay attention to it.

2. It is very inconvenient to clean. In fact, it didn’t take long before I found that the big screen was full of fingerprints, and it was hard to wipe them off. After wiping them off, they were full of fingerprints again after a few days, which was very annoying.


Recommended Guidelines:

1. When it comes to refrigerators, we should first consider its capacity and then its function. As for the appearance, there is really no need to pursue Dalian
Screen, glass screen and so on.

2. For refrigerators, my personal suggestion is to buy metal shells and metal panels. This type of refrigerator is stronger, easier to clean, and non-slip, so it can be used longer.


4. Plush carpet in the living room

The fourth item that I feel is useless after living in it for nearly half a year is the plush carpet in the living room.

In fact, with the emergence of floor tiles, everyone will find that there are more and more carpets in the home.

Because our interior is paved with tiles, it would look good if we could match it with carpets.

However, not all carpets are suitable.

Among them, the plush carpet in my house is really useless.


Why do I say so? Here are the reasons:

1. Particularly easy to get dirty.When you eat snacks while sitting on the sofa, some snack crumbs can easily fall into the furry carpet, and sometimes they are difficult to clean out, making it dirtier and dirtier.

2. It harbors dirt and easily breeds bacteria.Because there are so many gaps in plush carpets, dust and debris can fall in and cannot be cleaned out, which will breed bacteria over time.


Recommended Guidelines:

1. For the carpet in the living room, it is recommended that you try to choose a woven carpet without plush. For example, similar to smooth carpets, some woven carpets appear clean and are not easy to get dirty.

2. For carpets at home, it is recommended that the smaller the area, the better. Whether it is the living room or the bedroom, the cost of later cleaning is closely related to the area.


5.Technology fabric sofa

The fifth extremely useless item I discovered less than half a year after moving in was the tech fabric sofa in the living room.

When I first chose the sofa for my home, I actually racked my brains. I compared leather sofas, technical fabric sofas, and fabric sofas.

After considering the cost-effectiveness and appearance, the final choice was the technological fabric sofa.

Because the technical fabric sofa has some characteristics and appearance of genuine leather, but its price is much cheaper than that of genuine leather sofa.

To put it bluntly, I wanted to buy a leather sofa, but I couldn't afford it, so I bought a cheap tech fabric sofa.


However, after half a year of living in the house, I found the following problems with the tech fabric sofa:

1. It really can’t stand dirt.Whether there are water stains or juice splashed on the tech fabric sofa, although you can wipe it dry in time, you will find that the stains have penetrated into the inside and turned into spots.

2. The wear and tear is very severe.Although I have only sat on it for 6 months, I found that the back of the tech fabric sofa has obvious wear and tear. I guess it may peel off over time.


Recommended Practice:

1. For families where conditions permit, I personally recommend that you choose leather sofas as your first choice.Of course, a set of leather sofas is indeed expensive, usually costing nearly 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

2. For most of our ordinary families, if we can't afford a leather sofa, it is recommended that you buy a fabric sofa.If we add a good sofa cover or sofa cushion, the effect will be good too.


6. Embedded floor track sliding door

The sixth useless decoration item that I discovered after only half a year of living in the house was the embedded floor-track sliding door in the kitchen.

I believe that many people have done homework on kitchen sliding doors.

The final information is that the traditional floor track sliding door protrudes from the ground, harbours dirt and is a tripping hazard. The hanging track sliding door is not strong and is easy to fall off.

After comprehensive comparison, I found that embedded floor track sliding doors are the current mainstream. So I followed the trend and chose this kind of floor track sliding door.


But after only living there for half a year, I found that floor-track sliding doors are prone to pitfalls:

1. The track was not installed firmly, resulting in deformation. Finally, it was found that the floor track sliding door could not be pushed. After careful observation, it was found that the embedded floor track was shifted and deformed, and it had to be dismantled and redone.

2. The ground track sliding door is stuck. You will find that some small particles have fallen into the gap of the track and got stuck in it. When you push the sliding door, it gets stuck.


Practice Guide:

1. If you choose an embedded floor track sliding door, you must accurately measure and mark the line, and pre-embed the sliding door track in place in advance. And it must be firmly fixed. When using it, you must regularly clean the particles in the track.

2. For most families, I personally recommend that you choose ultra-thin floor track sliding doors. This type of sliding door does not require pre-buried floor tracks, and its tracks are very thin and do not affect our use.


7. Tabletop Dishwasher

The seventh item that you find to be useless half a year after moving in is a desktop dishwasher.

In fact, dishwashers are generally very useful. Most friends may become dependent on them after using them.

However, there is a problem here, that is, you must choose the right dishwasher, especially the size must be appropriate.

Just like the tabletop dishwasher I chose for my home, it is a very typical mistake.

Because each dishwasher has a number of wash cycles, which is actually its capacity, and the problem with my house is that we chose a small one.


As a result, the following problems occurred during use:

1. Each time you wash dishes, you can only wash part of them. The remaining dishes and bowls can only be washed after the first part is completely washed. This may take one or two hours, which is very annoying.

2. The cleaning effect is not very ideal. Although the small-capacity dishwasher I bought is very cheap, its function is indeed not as good as that of a large dishwasher.


Recommended Guidelines:

1. If we are renovating our home, we actually recommend that you buy a dishwasher, but you must choose one that is suitable for your home. For an ordinary family, you can choose a dishwasher that can wash more than 12 sets of dishes each time.

2. Regarding the installation method of the dishwasher, I personally recommend that you choose embedded installation. In this way, the dishwasher is installed in the cabinet, which not only does not take up space, but also looks better.


Home decoration requires the design and configuration of many objects. And these objects are closely related to our future life. Therefore, if you choose the right one, you will feel more comfortable the more you use it; if you choose the wrong one, it will bring you troubles.

In this article, I share with you 7 useless items that I found in my home after living there for 6 months. I wonder if you have ever encountered such a situation? I hope you can figure it out and try to avoid it.
