To be honest, Chinese people have the habit of blindly following trends. Their consumption is never under control. They always want to bargain when spending small amounts of money, but they don't think at all when spending large amounts of money and just buy it blindly.

This kind of behavior is particularly evident when decorating a new house. People go with new things to match the new house, and don't do their homework when buying home furnishings. They just think that if others say it's good, it's good, and then it's left idle after they bring it home.

Idleness is the biggest waste

I have specially summarized the "five major idle items" that exist in all Chinese families, which are also known as common phenomena. My family has all of them, and I have wasted money in vain. I would like to ask you for advice: no matter how rich you are, don't add these to your home, as you will end up unable to deal with them in the end.

Five idle

1. Bay Window

Those who have bay windows at home all want to make full use of that space and turn it into a desk or dressing table. Some people even want to put a children's bed in the bay window, thinking that the space will be much larger after the transformation, and thus feel that they have made a very correct choice.

Bay window sill renovation

However, after the bay window was removed, it was discovered that the destruction of the structure might cause water seepage in the exterior wall. If there is space under the bay window, it needs to be filled. When in use, this place is the sunniest in summer and the coldest in winter, so the time spent here will become less and less, and it is best to slowly turn it into a storage point for miscellaneous items.

Tea table

At first I thought it would improve space utilization, but to be honest, you will often stay in the bay window in the bedroom for a long time, so it is better to keep it as it is and sit there occasionally. At least it saves the cost of renovation and your own time.

2. Bathtub

tub

After being brainwashed by the internet celebrity designs, I want to squeeze a bathtub into any bathroom, no matter how small it is. I fantasize about taking a comfortable bath after get off work, lighting some incense, playing some music, and putting some fruits on the table. It’s a perfect sense of ritual and very relaxing.

Place sundries

When I first installed it, it was very new. I enjoyed it every day after work and felt that life was so wonderful. But later I used it less and less frequently, and in the end it became a bathroom tub for storing dirty clothes.

Recycle

Not only do you have to wait for the bathtub to fill with water, but it also wastes a lot of water. Just when you've just gotten over your fatigue from taking a bath, it takes a while to clean the bathtub, which takes up a lot of time and energy. Taking a shower is much easier than this.

So later on, I gradually became unwilling to invest in it. It was just a household product that was only popular for a short period of time, and ended up lying idle. I believe that many people who chose to install a bathtub regretted it in the end, and I was one of them.

3. Second bedroom that is not occupied for a long time

Second Bedroom

In the traditional Chinese thinking, a spare room must be kept at home to prevent guests from staying overnight. However, the reality is that even if friends and relatives come home, they will stay in a hotel due to various inconveniences. You think that staying at home will enhance your relationship, but in fact, a proper sense of propriety is more suitable for each other.

Stacked bedroom

So over the years, the second bedroom has remained empty, and slowly some stock was put in it, turning it into a storage room that is never used at all, and it's annoying to see so many things.

In fact, it would have been better to make it into a study room. It not only has more home functionality, but can also be well utilized to improve the quality of life.

4. Living room coffee table

Grandeur and symmetry have always been the first choice for Chinese people when buying home furnishings, so the living room sofa is equipped with a bulky large coffee table as standard, thinking that this can show the importance of the living room.

Coffee table

The living room is indeed a place to receive guests. It would be very inconvenient if there is no place to put water cups and fruit plates. However, the large coffee table takes up too much space, so much so that I dare not move when sitting on the sofa, because the distance between the sofa and the coffee table is really crowded.

Move elsewhere

The large coffee table in the living room not only makes it inconvenient to move around in the living room, but also after having children, the children will crawl around and bump into it. There is also no large space, and the table top is always messy even if you tidy it up every day, which really affects your mood.

If you move the coffee table to the side, the living room without it will suddenly appear much more spacious, and you won’t have to clean up the items on it frequently, making housework easier.

Simple living room

This bulky and large coffee table is no longer suitable for people’s current lifestyle. So listen to my advice and stop buying large coffee tables for your home.

Side Table

It is currently popular to place a movable side table on one side of the sofa. It not only meets the storage needs but is also very flexible and does not take up any space at all.

5. Fitness Equipment

I believe that everyone’s original intention of buying fitness equipment is to work hard quietly at home and then surprise others, fantasizing that they can achieve the same results as in the gym at home.

Fitness Equipment

But imagination is always beautiful, and reality always slaps people in the face. After buying the fitness equipment, I am still willing to exercise, but I gradually slack off. After all, the sofa and bed at home are always "calling" you. It is really difficult to be self-disciplined in this atmosphere.

Fitness Equipment Fate

The fitness equipment itself is large and takes up a lot of space at home. As it is left unused, it becomes a pile of clothes with everything thrown on it. After all, it is too troublesome to dispose of it.

lie

I really want to advise all netizens: If you are not completely sure about yourself, don't blindly follow the trend to buy things. As long as they are idle, it is a waste and it will make you upset just by seeing them.

In conclusion:Be sure to think twice before buying a big item for your home and purchase it based on your actual situation. Don't just listen to what others say about the advantages, but consider your actual needs and long-term considerations.

Large items that are left unused take up too much space. What unused items do you have at home? Welcome to comment and share~
