If you decorate your home for the first time or undergo a large Reno or makeover, you have to make about a billion small decisions (and then just as many to spend money). Your budget can quickly feel tiny, because suddenly everything seems to be a must. It is easy to catch up if you are paid more for trendy pieces or statement functions – but a break before you do this.
There are house articles in which many of us spend a lot for it if we don't need it. That is why we asked interior designers which unnecessary decorative parts they see. Here are the pieces that designers reduce or do not buy at all. According to the professionals, skipping these objects will not affect the room, but will help your wallet.
Excessive decorative pillows
Who is not guilty of getting to a household business to pick up a serving bowl and go out with eight throwing pillows? Interior designer Galey Grimes encourages her to hold back. “While you look chic in photos, too many pillows can quickly become stylishly too impractical,” she says. People often spent a lot of dough with high -quality decorative pillows just to find out that they are rather annoying, she says. “Instead of surpluses, I recommend concentrating on pillows with luxurious textures and subtle patterns that complement the overall design without overwhelming the room.”
Vases

There are a lot of pretty vases out there-and we definitely don't want to stop you from buying one that you have filled with-but you can find in second-hand shops for much less excellent options, says Designer Krista Wells of Georgestown in my head. “You can get them so cheap in a used goods store, and they can even paint and build them up to make them more of their style,” she says.
Unnecessary mill
No shadow for architectural details that we love (take a look at the really simple home!), But sometimes adding a lot of mills fits into the room, says Alma Russo from AR -interior. “Customers are often spoken of in exaggerated wainscating or shipap who do not necessarily refer to the architecture of their house,” she says. These additions can be expensive and stop spending your budget somewhere else, where it may be needed more. “Sometimes a well -scaled basic shape and a beautiful crown can be the right amount of carpentry and still leave a budget for furniture and wallpaper in one room.”

The interior designer Annie Downing says she saw many homeowners who confused herself on an oversized, trendy chandelier, just to see a room totally overwhelming. “The massive industrial device or the ultra-modern piece, which feels completely out of place, often bothers the scale and the proportion of space and the date when the trend changes,” she says. She recommends concentrating on high quality, timeless lighting such as classic lanterns or well -placed lights.
False plants
Note: Not all fake plants are the same and sometimes an art fern can really enliven a room. However, some of them are made of cheaper materials, and the leaves begin to fade due to sunlight, notes designer Mikel Welch. “You just become a dust collector because you avoid them in the end,” he says. If you choose to buy artificial plants, keep your eyes open according to higher materials such as silk or real touch plastic and pay attention to color and texture.
Mass -produced art
Art should help her home feel like feeling Your homeBut if people quickly decorate a whole home or want to complete a gallery wall, they often contact Big-Box-Store prints to do the job. They wait better and collect objects that really mean something to them, says Camila Pavone of effortless style. “An additional advantage of finding art elsewhere is that you support a small company,” she says.

Of course, you want your kitchen appliances to look good, but you should also be super functional, says designer Jessica Davis of Atelier Davis. If you spend a ton for an oven that only looks pretty instead of being used, you may want to rethink it. “I would rather use this money for something else beautiful or usable,” she says.
