5 Home Objects You Should Stop Buying Repeatedly

A home is termed as your private sanctity wherein you have all the liberty to add all the functional as well as decorative objects of your choice. But, many a time it happens that, you go shopping and end up buying items that you already possess because you found them attractive or just for the sake of it.

The result? Similar objects take up unnecessary space and end up getting stacked up in cabinets or corners without getting utilized ever! We have listed 5 home objects that you should stop buying repeatedly:

Things You Should Stop Buying Repeatedly

Showpiece
Every time you visit the mall or home decor store, the chances are, some decor piece will catch your fancy and you will end up buying the same. And as a result, it will get added beside decor objects and showpieces that are bought previously. Many a time, it happens that, these showpieces and objects will not look harmonious owning to their respective styles. For example, a traditional wooden vase placed beside a modern glass sculpture.

Avoid buying showpieces in more numbers. Instead keep them looking sorted on the tabletop or at a designated decor unit, where each decor piece will feature its distinct identity.

Food Containers
Food containers, whether brought from kitchen speciality stores or repurposed from a restaurant takeaway storage box, chances are you will have plastic food containers in good numbers. Instead of adding one more to the stack, get rid of those which don't qualify as good plastic or have seen good days. Store the food items in good quality containers and avoid buying containers, and boxes randomly.

Coffee Mugs
There are folks who can't have enough coffee mugs. Different types of mugs are then stacked on kitchen shelves or racks. But not all of them get utilized and ends up catching dust. If you are a proclaimed mug fanatic, then it is time to curb this mug obsession and not buy a new one for no specific purpose. Instead, enjoy your coffee in a mug that you brought previously and admire its shape, colour, and design!

Things You Should Stop Buying Repeatedly

Scented Candles
Okay, who doesn't like candles? We all do. From providing warm light to creating a cosy atmosphere, the scented candles do it all. But, it is not necessary to hoard them in more numbers. On a surface, at a time, you can place two candles to form a sorted look. Also, worn-out, old candles can be re-melted and used for forming a new, colourful candle!

Stationery and Office Supplies
Pens, diaries, sticky notes, and more; those who raid the stationery shops each time they visit one will mostly add the same to their stationery and office supplies stack. Many of these items will remain in the drawers without utilization and end up taking up essential space. If you already got good enough stationery, then avoid adding more to it. Use the stationery which you have already and only buy a new one when you exhaust everything that's added to your study or office table!
