Outdated Décor Items To Get Rid Of In an Estate Cleanout

Like all places, estate owners in Sonoma County invest a lot of money in the best décor items to transform their properties. Unfortunately, what worked for décor in the past might not necessarily work now or in the future. This is because décor trends change continually according to new inventions and consumer tastes.

Some of the decor items in your estate might no longer work in today’s world. By keeping them, you will end up with an outdated space that paints you as unimaginative. Other than keeping up with décor trends, you might need an estate cleanout when downsizing, after a divorce, or following the death of a loved one.

Irrespective of your reasons, here are the outdated décor items you should throw out in an estate cleanout.

Large carpets

At some point, wall-to-wall carpeting was a luxurious décor element. Nowadays, most people are leaning towards hardwood floors with small carpets in a few accent areas. Though carpeting absorbs sound while adding some cushioning for your feet, having it throughout your home is impractical and makes it hard to clean your home thoroughly. This predisposes your family and guests to flare-ups of allergic reactions because of the dust that gathers. Ditch wall-to-wall carpets for the hygienic and beautiful hardwood floors accented with small rugs in designated spaces.

Honey-oak cabinets

Honey-oak cabinets were staples of kitchen and bathrooms in the 80s-90s. The golden-toned cabinets exuded some elegance and luxury in most homes. Nowadays, these have been replaced with white cabinets that make rooms look spotless and reflect light to create an illusion of space, even in small houses. Conservative property owners settle for gray bathroom and kitchen cabinets. Though you can repaint your existing cabinets, replacing them altogether is the ideal choice. Modern cabinet materials are of better quality than those in the past, so they will last longer than the traditional oak cabinets.

Typography signs

The last decade saw an explosion of the modern farmhouse trend. With it came typography signs with rustic script signs displaying messages like bless this house, live laugh love, gather, family, and welcome to our home. Though cute, the mass-produced signs were incredibly basic and featured cookie-cutter designs that made all homes look similar. If you still have these signs in your estate, ditch them for some of the unique artwork sold at most stores in Sonoma. There are also online stores selling good and reasonably priced artwork. Alternatively, you can personalize your house with art you have painted or things your kids have made as home decor.

Faux distressed furniture

In the past few years, homeowners who wanted a vintage look but could not afford vintage furniture could get it in faux distressed furniture. With this, furniture experts would use chalk paint and weathered finishes to make your piece look somewhat aged. Nonetheless, the faux distressed furniture look is now ending because it looks cheap and has been overdone. If you have this furniture in your space, it should be among the things you throw out during an estate cleanout. Swap it for an authentic vintage piece. Though it will cost you, vintage furniture has a unique way of introducing elegance and warmth into your space, making it worth its price.

Wishy-washy waterbeds

The 70s and 80s were heydays for the waterbeds. Anyone who wanted a luxurious bedroom invested in a waterbed. Though these beds are still comfortable, they are quite heavy and difficult to move. Moreover, they need electricity for their thermostat regulation, which will not work with the many people now intent on energy efficiency. Some property owners also prohibit waterbeds on their properties because of their risk of leaks that can extensively damage floors. Throw out your wishy-washy waterbed for a good memory foam mattress for a good stress-free night’s rest.

TV stands

If you have a large bulky TV cabinet for your television and its related equipment, you are stuck in the past. As TVs got bigger and more sophisticated, their related equipment got smaller or sometimes obsolete. Today, TVs are best mounted on walls. This saves your space and is also the best option for the large TVs in most homes. If you are a fan of the clutter-free interior design that is taking over modern interior design, getting rid of the bulky TV stand will be one of your best decisions.

CD storage

It is not just your CD rack that is a dinosaur but the entire CD storage system. People now have small portable devices for storing virtually anything, and there are several streaming platforms for entertainment. There is no need of cluttering your entertainment or living room with CD storage racks that paint you as someone stuck in the past. Get rid of CD racks and the discs altogether to exude a modern look to your space.

Grandfather clocks

If you have a grandfather clock, or any other clock, in your house, these are outdated decor items nowadays. There are clocks on almost all devices nowadays, including cellphones, microwaves, ovens, and computers. You thus do not need to dedicate a space on your walls or floors for a clock. Few people will use it after all. Throw out your clocks for décor items that reflect modern trends and technological advancement.

Best Chair Options for Small Spaces after Sofa Removal

 

Living spaces have been on a constant decline in recent years. According to Statista, a single-family home in the U.S in 2019 was 2301 square feet on average, down from 2467 square feet in 2015. The reduction of living spaces does not seem to be slowing down soon owing to increasing population and reducing land. Instead of saving for ages to get the largest possible property, it would be best to adapt to small living spaces.

With the right décor, living in a small space does not mean living in cramped quarters. You can choose exceptional furniture and décor to match your room. One of your first steps is getting a solution for sofa removal and the other bulky furniture that will take up too much precious floor space.

Here are a few chair designs that can replace the bulky sofa to suit your small space.

Sofa Chair in a bar lounge

Armchair

Armchairs are some of the best options for people who want to express themselves in their living spaces. These are accent chairs that are comfortable enough to sit on while occupying minimal space. Unlike most chairs for small spaces, armchairs can work in different rooms, are versatile enough to work with varying types of furniture, and are lightweight for delicate floors. Unfortunately, they can only seat one person, so they might not be the most practical for large families.

Recliner

Consider getting a recliner if you want a piece of modern luxury after throwing away your bulky sofa. Most historians believe Napoleon Bonaparte used the first recliner. Since then, the design of the recliner has significantly improved to become the epitome of comfort. The chair comes in cloth and leather upholsteries in virtually all colors to match your interiors.

Recliners, unlike most options, allow you to adjust your seating level using a built-in footrest. The footrest can be adjusted using a button, or lever, or manually. Some recliners like lift-assist recliners are meant for people with specific disabilities that make it hard for them to rise from seated positions. The chairs allow them to live as independently as possible.

Round chair

This is an oversized seat with cushion depths of 30 inches and a width of about 58 inches. It works best for anyone who wants to snuggle or relax when reading a book. Round chairs are made of all materials, but most are made of leather or suede.

Loveseat

Most chairs designed for small spaces only accommodate one person. Nonetheless, a loveseat has a cuddle factor and allows enough room for two people sitting close together. A few loveseats are even large enough to seat two people without touching. The chairs are smaller than traditional sofas and bigger than single-person chairs. They come in diverse styles to suit all spaces.
New call-to-action

Slipper chair

This, as its name suggests, was designed to make it easy for people to put on their slippers and shoes. It has no arms to allow the user to move freely to all angles. The slipper chair is also relatively low to enable easier access to the feet. Nonetheless, it is not exclusively meant for wearing shoes in your hallway. You can consider using it for typical seating around a coffee table. However, it works best for shorter and petite people because of its lowness to the ground that makes it uncomfortable for tall people.

Wingback chair

When most people think of an accent after sofa removal, they often picture a wingback chair. This features a classic design that has remained trendy over the ages. It was initially designed for placing in front of a fireplace hence its “wings” on the sides to keep heat in and block the draft. The flat and scroll designs are the two main styles of wingback chairs.

Flat wingback chairs have straight lines and fewer details, while scroll-type chairs are rounder than the latter with more ornamentation. Chesterfield chairs that closely resemble sofas by the same name are also considered wingback chair types. Their distinctive element is the tufted upholstery.

Club chair

This has a distinct low back that flows into its armrests. It was typically used in gentlemen’s clubs in the past, hence the name. The design of a club chair is meant to allow easy conversation among the people using it. The low back allows a user to easily see everyone in a room while guaranteeing his/her comfort.

Nowadays, there are several variations of the club chair to suit the diverse needs of homeowners. Most designers, for instance, consider the Lawson chair a type of club chair. It has straight lines, low square or round arms, a low back, and firm cushioning. In most instances, a club chair is made of leather to exude power and class.

Bergere chair

If you love the traditional French style, the Bergere chair should be the first choice for your home or office. It was turned into an armchair by Royals like Louis XV, so it will introduce some royalty into your space. Some defining elements of a Bergere chair include a deep, wide seat and exposed wood. A few chairs have loose seat cushions.

Eames chair

This features the classic design by Charles Eames, thus its name. The Eames chair has leather cushions and curves that exude style. The plywood mixed with the leather cushions makes this a style that easily stands out in almost all interiors. Though often used in offices because of the swivel design, Eames chairs also have a place in living rooms and bedrooms.

If you are stuck with an old bulky sofa that you cannot wait to replace with one of the above chairs, you do not have to procrastinate getting rid of it anymore. Junk King Sonoma offers sofa removal services to a recycling center, landfill, or donation center at competitive prices. The company’s staff are well-trained and equipped, so there will be no damage to your property as they take out the sofa.
