I’m an interior designer – three home items I’ll never buy again, including an expensive, hard-to-clean staple
AN interior designer has shared her top three faux pas for the home.
Her suggestions included one common home decor that could be replaced with a cheaper, more versatile option.
Mariel (@413home) said that the go-to home decor is notoriously hard-to-clean and may not even last long.
“The first thing I will never ever buy again are comforters,” she said in the video.
She described the bedding as “a pain in her butt.”
“How many times have you bought a comforter, loved it for a few months, years maybe?” the interior designer asked.
“It comes time to wash it, you put it in the washing machine, you dry it, and completely destroy it,” Mariel added.
She said comforters are also far from her first choice due to the price point.
“You just want to switch your look up and now you have to go out and buy a whole new comforter,” she said.
“Who has time for that?” she asked. “And with inflation the way it is, who has the money for that?”
She shared an alternative option for a bed covering that won’t break the bank — a duvet cover.
“You can switch it out as many times as you want,” she raved.
Mariel also nixed decorative pillows that don’t have removable covers.
Finally, she said “no” to cotton sheets, offering a better alternative.
“Bamboo linens are so much better for the environment,” she said.
She also noted that bamboo is “so much softer and cooler in texture” than cotton.
