You don't need half of the home decor and furniture you're told you do and I'm going to prove it to you. Even I have mistakenly told you to buy home decor that, as it turns out, isn't functional or necessary!
In today's video I'm sharing 8 Home Decor Items You Don't Actually Need (and four you do)! I moved into a new apartment and brought nothing with me, so I was able to put this to the test and highlight the non-negotiables as well as the home decor finds that are actually bleeding money when it comes to your interior design!
Timestamps
00:00 Intro
00:23 Your entryway can't handle this.
02:10 Do you actually burn them all?
03:20 Are you storing decor or practical items?
04:28 There can be too much light.
06:55 I'm using a box as a side table.
08:07 You have too much cookware.
09:30 King size beds aren't necessary.
09:54 Does the dresser actually keep you more organized?
10:58 Your bathroom is a cluttered mess.
Here are the things I ended up buying ASAP for this apartment to keep it functional and chic:
Marble Incense Holder: amzlink.to/az0lRMqHs2ZVy
Uplights: amzlink.to/az0hpMc660fkq
Rechargeable Light Bulbs: amzlink.to/az0SK4yorn6Kz
USB Table Lamp: amzlink.to/az0GZVRfNwuYX
IKEA Floor Lamp: go.shopmy.us/p-69384873
Night Light: amzlink.to/az0JjOG6sOY0X
Always Pan: go.shopmy.us/p-72282724
All Clad Straining Pot: amzlink.to/az0Ne6aGbpMPh
IKEA Storage Drawers: go.shopmy.us/p-66666233
