When buying new furniture, we often have to choose between comfort and looks. 

Some trendy things tend to be highly impractical in everyday life, and while trends come and go, they aren't worth your money or attention.

Let's find out more about them.

Transparent or Acrylic Furniture

Transparent or acrylic furniture pieces, such as chairs, tables, or shelves, have gained popularity in recent years due to their modern and minimalist appearance. 

However, their impracticality lies in their vulnerability to scratches, smudges, and visible fingerprints.

Hanging or Suspended Chairs

Hanging chairs, often designed as suspended pods or hammocks, need for sturdy and specialized installation, which may not be feasible in all living spaces. 

Oversized Statement Pieces

Enormous sofas, chairs, or other furniture items that dominate a room with their size often sacrifice practicality, as they may limit the functionality of the space, make it challenging to rearrange the room or accommodate additional seating.

Furry or Velvet Upholstery

Furniture featuring furry or velvet upholstery can attract dust, pet hair, and stains more easily. 

Maintaining and cleaning furry or velvet upholstery can be time-consuming and may require specialized cleaning products or professional services.

Irregularly Shaped Tables

Tables with irregular shapes can limit their functionality by making it difficult to place items evenly or securely on the tabletop.
