Every room in your home can benefit from accessories, but there are some accessories that might attract negative attention. Too much visual clutter can take away from a home’s beauty, and even affect its function. Check out these accessories you can do without:
- Toilet Covers & Rugs
Although at one time it was fashionable to cover your toilet with a cover and matching rug, that time has passed! Consider a patterned throw rug near the sink instead.
- Too Many Picture Frames
When you place too many mismatched frames on a table or wall, it can be distracting and not as visually appealing. Instead, select a handful of favorites and put them in bold, prominent frames. Make them a statement piece not a cluttered mess!
- Fake Plants and Flowers
Oversized artificial plants and flowers are very outdated in home décor. Chances are they are probably a dusty and dingy accessory that is distracting from your home’s beauty. There are numerous house plants that are easy to grow, or just use a vase of fresh flowers.
- Curtains
Although this may seem surprising, not all windows need curtains! Your curtain’s print and style may be outdated, and not to mention, it could be covering up some beautiful woodwork beneath all that fabric. Consider using bamboo shutters or top your windows with a simple valance.
