It is true that our Chinese people always like to blindly follow the trend, especially when decorating a new house, they will continue to buy household items.
After moving in, it was found that some items were not suitable and gradually became idle items at home. It's a waste of money and environmental chaos.
In this issue, according to personal experience and feedback from some netizens, we have sorted out the "8 idle" of Chinese families, and it is recommended that you stop buying and remove them from your shopping list.
1. Coffee table in the living room
Influenced by the ideas of the older generation, most families have a coffee table in their living room. However, people often find that the coffee table has little practical use after moving in, just to stack snacks, sundries and remote controls, which is both occupied and cluttered. Especially for families with children, the coffee table is even more redundant.
Netizen feedback: @一只豆豆猪.
I advise families with small children not to buy coffee tables, it can get in the way when children grow up. I transformed it into a balcony trellis myself to reuse waste.

The coffee table is an eyesore and inconvenient in the small living room, and it is not practical and often idle like my home.
2. Serve as a wine cabinet for the façade
I think a wine cabinet is one of the most useless pieces of furniture, although it can be controversial. But think about it, how many families actually use wine cabinets to store their wine? It's usually just an expensive wine cabinet to decorate the living room. Over time, you will find that the wine cabinet is not only full of clutter, but also has too much dust, which has caused a burden on life.
Netizen feedback: @西柚味的阿璞
I've been patient with the messy wine cabinet at home for a long time, and I don't understand why I decided to do it in the first place.
Netizen: @肉肉惹人爱
If you don't have a hobby, try to avoid making a wine cabinet. My dad likes to drink, so I made a wine cabinet, which was full of wine, but it was very troublesome to clean up and easy to collect dust.
3. The bay window is changed to a tea table
How is it applicable to change the bay window at home into a tea table or a leisure area? Although the space utilization rate is improved, the sunlight is dazzling, the space is narrow and hard, and it is not as comfortable as sofas and beds. Do you really need to rest in the bay window after a long day at work?
Netizen feedback: @是曾三岁呀
Despite its visual appeal, the design of the bay window is extremely impractical, and your legs will go numb after less than 10 minutes of sitting. At home, anywhere is better for reading and drinking tea than a bay window.
4. Bathroom bathtub
I never wondered, why would I have to stuff a bathtub in a compact bathroom? In fact, most home bathtubs are just to upgrade the level of bathroom decoration. It is not practical to take a bath every day, because it takes much longer to prepare and wash than it takes to take a bath. Over time, the bathtub will largely sit idle.
Netizen feedback: @我爱火锅串串
Although I struggled with installing a bathtub, I couldn't resist the ** of bathing. However, I found that as a lazy person with a three-minute heat, I didn't take a bath more than three times a year, and finally the bathtub was reduced to storage.
Netizen: @说好不熬叶女士
Under the strong request, the bathroom during the renovation was changed to a bathtub, but since moving in, except for the occasional use of the son in winter, it is basically idle, and now it feels a little chicken.
5. Washing machine with drying function
Thinking that it is a good idea to have a machine that can both wash and dry and be the most affordable, but after actually using it, I found that its experience is not as good as that of ordinary washing machines. The drying function is time-consuming, power-consuming and inefficient, and it is difficult to dry large items and the clothes shrink severely.
Netizen feedback: @飞奔走来的猪
The condensing machine is cheap but there will be fluff accumulation that causes odor, although the heat pump machine does not have this problem, but it is better to buy a washing and drying set than 10,000.
6. A guest bedroom reserved for relatives
Most families set up guest rooms to receive visiting relatives, friends or parents, however, this room is often unused and parents do not stay overnight because relatives and friends rarely visit. Eventually, this room is likely to become a utility room.
Netizen feedback: @追风的少年
The small bedroom, which was originally planned to be a cloakroom, was turned into a relative's guest room at the insistence of his wife, and a bed was placed. But over time, this room gradually became full of clutter.
7. Pots and pans with low appearance rate
How many people don't cook often, but they love high-value pots and pans, such as enamel pots, snow pans, glass pots, non-stick pots, cast iron pots, etc., have bought a lot of them.
It is found that most of the good-looking kitchenware is not practical, and it is usually left in the corner of the kitchen after a few uses, and it is idle to eat ashes.
Netizen feedback: @晓幸福
I have a lot of new pots in my house, but I'm not good at cooking. I don't understand why I bought so many pots with confidence.
Netizen: @拾金不昧
Initially attracted by the food show, I bought these pots and pans. But in reality, I rarely use them in a year. The low usage rate of expensive pots and pans really distresses me, and I recommend that you consider carefully before buying.
8. All kinds of fitness equipment
Driven by the craze for home fitness and Internet celebrities, buying a set of fitness equipment seems to be able to meet people's fitness and goals.
Undoubtedly, most of these beautiful ideas are just ideals, and they can't compare to the initial enthusiasm for buying gym equipment. Usually, the end result of home gym equipment is idle, dusty, or even transferred.
Netizen feedback: @桃妞妞
If you have an expensive treadmill that you don't want to give up, try my trick of adding a mattress to turn it into a balcony single bed.
Netizen: @刘肉面
I have bought various fitness equipment such as spinning bikes, rowing machines, and elliptical machines, but they have only been used for a month and then abandoned. So, if you really want to start working out, it's recommended to run for two months before it's too late to consider buying equipment.
Home is a place to relax. I believe that less is more, which not only reduces the complexity of cleaning, but also makes the home look more spacious and comfortable.
Obviously, every family and individual has different needs, and sharing these is to avoid wasting money on buying useless items, after all, it is not easy to earn money nowadays.
