In most cases, housewives put indoor flowers on the windowsill, sincerely considering this place to be the best, because there they will receive enough sunlight. In fact, this is a very old and hackneyed interior technique. In addition, this approach can harm the plants themselves - in summer, too bright becomes their enemy. the sun's rays, which are capable of burning flowers, and in winter one should beware of drafts that can to freeze. Also, the plants can fall to the floor due to the strong wind blowing open the window. Another obvious "pest" is the pet. For example, cats are very fond of "walking" on the windowsills and dropping flowers on the floor.

Designers assure that window sills are not a panacea for all ills. Plants are best placed throughout the apartment so that each room has its own "green accent". For these purposes, you can use dressers, coffee tables, bedside tables, bookshelves.

If you have plants in large pots in your arsenal, then it is better not to experiment and put them directly on the floor, for example, in the living room near the sofa. And to make the overall picture holistic and harmonious, choose pots for flowers, decorated in the same style. You can also use non-traditional methods: pots, wall modules, and more.

2. Obsolete textiles

The first thing that spoils the interior, makes it irrelevant - outdated textiles. There are two sides to the question: the first is physical disabilities (scuffs, holes, cat claw marks, faded areas, and so on); the second - old-fashioned colors and materials (synthetics with sequins and sequins, colorful floral ornaments, beaten patterns, animal prints and others).

Correcting the situation is quite simple. You just need to carefully examine all the rooms, remove the old, frayed textiles, order new upholstery for furniture to replace the damaged old one. If it is difficult for you to select fashionable textiles on your own, taking into account modern trends, place your bet for plain options made from natural textured fabrics that will look harmonious in the interior.

For example, if the room is decorated in neutral shades (white, beige, gray), then choose bright textiles. It will be possible to create a single composition if the curtains, carpet, cushions are in the same color scheme.

3. Deliberately classic chandelier

In modern interiors, a chandelier has not been used for a long time as the main source of light, preferring instead wall and spotlights, sconces, floor lamps. A classic French basket with crystal elements or a patterned hemisphere looks especially old-fashioned in an apartment.

Advice: instead of classic chandeliers, choose original lamps of unusual shapes. The laconic version on a long cord, ceiling tires with soffits will look interesting. They will transform the interior, revive it, and also become an excellent accent in the room, on which the eye will stop.

4. Beige color

Over the years, beige has been considered the perfect backdrop for any room, be it a kitchen, living room or bedroom, according to Novate.ru. And this is not surprising, because such a color goes well with other shades, it is more difficult to make a mistake with it when decorating an interior than, for example, with a bright color scheme. However, there is a small nuance - the abundance of beige makes the room boring, formulaic, flat and impersonal.

To avoid this outcome, heed the advice from designers. If you do not plan to make repairs in the near future, experts recommend adding bright accents to the interior. They can be original lamps, frames for posters, pieces of furniture of rich deep colors.

If you have the opportunity to change the color palette in the room, then try diluting the beige with a contrasting wall or completely replacing it with white. This color is also safe, but still looks fresher, more stylish and beautiful.

Different bottles of bright colors in the bathroom, colorful containers of different sizes for cereals and bulk products in the kitchen make the interior tasteless and old-fashioned. Such storage is no longer relevant and needs to be replaced with a more stylish and modern one.

To organize aesthetic storage in the kitchen and in the bathroom, you need to estimate the approximate number of goods that you store in packages and factory containers, and purchase with a stock of identical containers, vials and jars, into which you can pour everything and pour over. If you are looking for products for the bathroom that will be visible (for example, bottles for shampoo, balm, liquid soap, shower gel), try to buy them to match the textiles. For example, if the bathroom is decorated in white colors, and the rug, towels and bath curtain are blue, then the storage elements should also be blue.
