Some men say that the interior in the apartment is not particularly important for them. They say that the blue walls look fine, and the curtains in a pink flower against their background will fit. However, most of them are cunning - representatives of the stronger sex love and value comfort very much. And if, being in the apartment, they feel discomfort, you just have to throw out all the things that annoy your beloved husband. Novate.ru suggests not to tempt fate and immediately get rid of such items, without waiting for a scandal.
1. Decorative pillows
Soft fluffy pillows, which girls constantly buy, trying to create a cozy atmosphere in the room, cause extremely negative feelings in men. They seem dirty and dusty to them. “It's better to have a couple of cats than to buy one such pillow,” the guys declare. Therefore, we suggest not even trying to impose your opinion on your husband, but immediately opt for sleek and stylish decorative pillows - one of them will surely be hugged by your partner while watching a movie.
2. Wallpaper with a pattern
Wallpaper with monograms on the walls is the prerogative of women. They seem to them sophisticated, stylish, with a hint of classics. However, men do not share this enthusiasm. It seems to them that such a wall covering attracts too much attention, as a result of which no one is looking at the rest of the room. “Too cumbersome and intrusive, does not fit with anything” - this is the verdict of men. If you want to please your partner, choose plain wallpaper or wall paint. The color can be any, the most important thing is to do everything in the spirit of minimalism.
3. Beautiful, but inconvenient dishes
Girls are always drawn to everything beautiful. And the things they choose are not always practical or useful. A good example is tableware: small coffee cups with a thin handle, flat and asymmetrical plates, saucers to be used during tea drinking, but usually no one does. When looking at this "female pride", men have the feeling that they have been invited to a reception in a dollhouse. Also, if this is the first time you've invited a guy home, he may be nervous and a little awkward. Maybe you will still be saving your favorite set?
For yourself, you can pour coffee into any cup you want, but always offer a man a large mug, which he will not be afraid to crush in his mighty hands.
4. The abundance of soft toys
They are also on the list of things that should not be in a woman's apartment after 30. Men sincerely believe that numerous teddy bears and hares only take up precious space in an apartment, and there is no sense in them. We completely agree with them. If there are no small children in the house or the girl is not engaged in the creation of knitted dolls, for example, the presence of toys can hardly be justified.
5. Figurines
Most men are in favor of practicality. Therefore, do not expect them to appreciate various useless little things like figurines, magnets, candlesticks, boxes (which no one uses), etc. First, you should remember that men are awkward, we have already talked about this. One move, and only one remains from your collection of donkeys. Secondly, the guys who see a shelf in front of them filled with such things immediately have the feeling that they have contacted the female version of Plyushkin. Thirdly, they are afraid that they will have to dust off all these little things. And we all know how prejudiced guys are about cleaning!
Note: Now the trend is minimalism, open space and "air", so all of the above little things really do not quite fit into the interior of a modern apartment.
6. Artificial flowers and fruits
This category even includes dried flowers, beloved by girls, which delight in gloomy autumn and winter days. The fact is that over time they turn into another dust collector, and in the eyes of men they look like "dead" plants that only attract troubles. You can, of course, try to convince them that all the signs are lying and dried gypsophila brings good luck in business, but it's better not to bother and just transport the dried flowers to your mother. She will definitely appreciate them more than your husband.
As for dummies of fruits, this decor took place in Soviet apartments, but in modern interiors it looks ridiculous. In addition, when looking at artificial apples, the guys think that a woman is as fake as the accessories she chooses to decorate her apartment.
7. Lace and knitted items
Laces can interest a man only if they are present in women's underwear. In all other situations, lace tablecloths and knitted napkins only remind him of his grandmother's life and hint that you want to get married as soon as possible, have children and grow old in front of the TV, creating another product with knitting needles. All this is in no way associated with a man's desire to have a fun and perky evening. And he has not yet seen a bedspread with an openwork ligature in the bedroom, which will definitely destroy all romantic impulses!
Therefore, we advise you to collect all the lace and knitting, and then take them to your dacha. They will fit into the rustic interior much better, and will no longer cause dissonance, as is the case with a city apartment.
8. Antiques
The main disadvantage of the vitage setting is that it is difficult to make out where the chair is, and where is the expensive museum exhibit, which it is better not to touch once again. So men are afraid that they will take, for example, a cup to pour themselves coffee, and then get a heart attack from shouting "Seventeenth century-e-ek !!!"
If there are too many old valuable things in the apartment, they involuntarily begin to put pressure on the person and subordinate him to their will. As a result, you will feel uncomfortable even in your own apartment, since the only thought in your head will be something like this: "The main thing is not to hurt / not break / scratch my treasure."
Do you like antiques? Go to the museum. There is more than enough of this stuff! You will be able to plunge headlong into any century and get pleasure from contemplating the things that are present in the exhibition.
9. Photos from the past
Design blog authors often advise using wall decor, in particular the photographs, that are most dear to your heart. From them you can create a garland, a collage, or just hang several large black and white portraits in a chaotic manner. But the pictures for such a decor should be selected very carefully. It's one thing to have photos of your parents or best friends hanging in the living room, and quite another to have different men hugging you in each new photo. And then try to prove to your new lover, who first came to your apartment, that this blond is actually a cousin, the dark-haired is a good friend, and the brown-haired is the sister's boyfriend. The question arises: are these men so dear to you that you decided to leave them on the wall to admire every day? Believe me, the person with whom you are now trying to build a serious relationship will be very unpleasant to see some kind of “bloke” hugging you around the waist, even if only in the photo. Look for new relationships - erase old ones in the interior.
