Thinking inertia will appear anywhere, and the same is true for decoration. Many of the designs we have become accustomed to will still be moved home by many people even though they are no longer needed.
today will summarize those household items that have become outdated. If you have some at home, consider throwing them away as soon as possible.
TV
In those days, people had relatively few entertainment options, and television was a major activity. But today, television has become useless.
If you like watching videos, you can choose a projector with better effect. If you rarely watch videos, mobile phones and tablets can meet your needs.
The biggest role of today’s TVs is to be placed as a display at home - but a display costing several thousand dollars is a bit too luxurious. The key is that the decorative effect of a TV is not that strong. Spending thousands of dollars to buy professional accessories is much better than a TV.
Clothes drying pole
Most people who read this text may have basically hung their clothes to dry since childhood. I was the same way until I discovered clothes dryer .
Clothes dryer looks similar to a washing machine and can be used to dry clothes. It is faster than drying and will not be polluted twice like drying (especially now that the air quality is relatively poor, the chance of secondary pollution caused by drying is higher).
The environment in some places is quite special, and there will be several days of extremely cold or extremely humid climate every year. At this time, the importance of the clothes dryer becomes immediately apparent.
The most important thing is not the effect, but the space: people nowadays often talk about "space utilization", and using a clothes dryer can free up more than half of the balcony space. At that time, growing flowers and drinking tea on the balcony will be much more leisurely than just hanging clothes on the balcony.
Bath heaters
Bath heaters were first popular in the South, where the winter was very cold and there was no heating, so they had to use bathroom heaters for heating. Nowadays, northern users also regard bathroom heaters as standard features of bathrooms, which is a bit difficult to understand.
In the north, there is heating in winter, and now there is even floor heating. The minimum temperature in the room is above 25°C, and the bathroom heater can't be turned on only once a year, so why bother buying one?
And even if you really need to heat the bathroom, you don’t necessarily have to install a bathroom heater. electric towel rack , electric heater, electric heater, all have bathroom-specific models (waterproof, moisture-proof, safe).
These devices are cheaper than the bathroom heater, and the heating effect is better than the bathroom heater. So no matter where you live, installing a bathroom heater shouldn’t be your first choice.
Gas stove
It’s okay for ordinary people to install gas stoves. What’s most confusing is that some apartment users install a gas stove even though their homes don’t even have natural gas . It is not too troublesome to carry liquefied gas tanks upstairs and downstairs every day.
For apartments without natural gas, you can use an induction cooker or electric ceramic stove instead. In the past, induction cookers had slow heating speeds and uneven heat. Nowadays, these problems have completely disappeared and are comparable to gas stoves.
For ordinary households, gas stoves are not the only option. You also have integrated stoves -
integrated stoves, which are more energy-saving than gas stoves; have better smoke exhaust effects than range hoods and ; and are more space-saving than smoke stove sets. The selling price at that time was often tens of thousands of yuan, but now it has dropped to a few thousand yuan.
Bedside tables
It seems to have become a routine to buy two bedside tables when buying a bed. There are even some places where there is a "custom" that I don't know where I heard it from: one bedside table must be placed on each side to avoid making the bed "lame".
But in fact, today's bedside tables have become more and more useless.There are simply too many things that can replace bedside tables:
When making customized furniture, you can make a few partitions to extend to both sides of the bed;
When buying a bed, you can directly buy a thicker bedside table that can store things;
Make a bed When setting up the background wall, you can directly create several storage spaces...
Each of these "alternatives" saves space, is easier to take care of, and can store more things than a bedside table.
main light
Many people still can’t think of it, and they have to install a lamp in the center of the room. But in fact, there is already a more reasonable and advanced lighting design solution waiting for us: main light lighting.
The ceiling is covered with lamps, and the brightness of each lamp is smaller than that of a single main lamp. Therefore, the main lights are not dazzling, but the combined brightness will be brighter.
The light source area is larger, and there will be fewer lighting dead spots in the room. With mainless lighting, there are almost no shadows in the room.
In addition, different numbers of lamps can be controlled through switches. Control the brightness in the room according to the number of lamps turned on. In this way, the usage rate of the same room will be greatly improved.
