Have you ever thought that your apartment can tell you much more about your character than you wanted?
Indeed, the individual elements of decor, accessories and new-fangled gadgets to which you weaken, can demonstrate whether you are really well-off or living beyond your means. Passion.ru tells what it is worth paying attention to in order not to be mistaken and not being considered a “poor man.”
Luxury items
People with limited means prefer to buy expensive items (accessories, decorative elements, equipment and so on) to show that they can also look "catchy." It does not matter that such a purchase will have to pay a loan, the main thing is to make an impression. Although, in fairness, I would like to note that usually such tricks are not rolled, and those who live beyond their means can be seen a mile away. Designers even have the definition of such a pseudo-Russian artist: “Why do you need a handbag Chanel or shoes Christian Louboutinif you travel by metro and minibus? ”The same goes for the decor. It is always visible when luxury items are not affordable, but appear occasionally.
Rejection of the necessary for the sake of fashion
Often you can meet people who deny themselves the most necessary things (food, transportation, and so on), just to save money for a fashionable smartphone, a laptop of the latest model, or some beautiful accessory that they suddenly needed. Experts advise not to be led by momentary passions, especially since fashion is fleeting. And who knows, maybe, while you, depriving yourself of the joys of life, save up for something relevant, after some time an even cooler new product will appear, and you will again have to deny yourself something.
Demonstration of success
Wealthy people usually do not demonstrate their viability and try to advertise as little as possible how much money they are used to spending. This also applies to the situation in the house. Everything should be selected with taste, but not impregnated with pathos and excessive self-confidence. Everything else is an attempt to appear richer than you really are.

"Brandmania" in everything
This applies to both decorative items and wardrobe as a whole. This is perhaps the most basic feature that distinguishes a poor person (often living in a province) from someone who earns quite well. Wanting to possess the cherished logos, these people can even take a loan for a trip to the same Turkey to Duty Free purchase some thing from a famous brand. Or spend some time to buy something "brand" and then proudly show it to guests.
A large number of plush toys
Interior designers do not get tired to explain that soft toys have a place to be only in the presence of small children. In all other cases, keeping them at home is a move and a sign of bad taste. The same plush toys, neatly placed on the bed, cause rather bewilderment, rather than tenderness and joy. Therefore, do not keep this extra dust bag in the apartment.
Art print on canvas and reproduction of famous paintings.
In no decent society will they hang a fake on the wall, no matter how skillfully executed it may be. Any fake only spoils the overall impression of the home, and from you. For each picture, an ideal frame should be chosen, and only in this case it makes sense to decorate the wall with it. All other tasteless imitations, according to interior designers, should be left on the counters of furniture salons and in no case should they be dragged into the house.
Lack of repair, faded upholstery and greasy textiles
Repairs made 5-7 years ago (or even more), with the head gives a lack of funds. We do not mean “grandmother’s option”, when apartment renovation took place back in Soviet times, we say that it was fashionable to arrange a mini-version of the palace (with stucco molding, columns, gilding and other attributes) in their apartments or some kind of eclecticism, which many proudly called "designer interior." Nowadays, more and more preference is given to minimalism or classics (in modern design), and everything else is a relic of the past.
As for faded textiles or old-fashioned upholstery, however favorite these things may be, you must either get rid of them or give them a second life. After all, they reduce the cost of the entire interior and seem to hint at the fact that you do not have the means to update the situation.
