" 1. A futon  &amp;quot;Futons are le worst! The older you get, the squishier your bed should be,&amp;quot; says designer, potter and author, Jonathan Adler.  2. Temporary furniture &amp;quot;Often, I see people waiting to move into the &amp;#039;forever home&amp;#039; before they begin to decorate, and until then, [they] simply buy whatever is on sale to fill up the space,&amp;quot; says designer Scot Meacham Wood. &amp;quot;But, by the age of 30, you should really be living intentionally \u2014 invest in some classic pieces that you can carry with you, but stop waiting.&amp;quot;  3. TV Stands  &amp;quot;Be gone, TV stands that were purchased with your TV!&amp;quot; say Lauren Buxbaum and Sasha Adler, Design Directors at Nate Berkus Associates. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s time to do something a little less functional and a little more decorative.&amp;quot;  4. Art or posters taped to the wall without frames &amp;quot;By 30, you should invest in custom framing,&amp;quot; says designer Nicole Gibbons.  5. Florescent floor lamps  &amp;quot;They can be very unflattering,&amp;quot; warns Buxbaum and Adler. &amp;quot;Incandescent and soft lighting floor lamps are just as accessible, but they&amp;#039;re easier on the eyes, prettier in the space, and do wonders for your complexion.&amp;quot;  6. Bare wood floors and postage stamp size area rugs  Rugs ground a room and bring so much warmth and life to a space. &amp;quot;Instead of reaching for the quickest solution, reach for a rug that adds texture, color, or pattern \u2014 in the largest size your room can handle!&amp;quot; advise Buxbaum and Adler. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s amazing how it can elevate the whole look of a room.&amp;quot;  7. Cheap bedding  &amp;quot;Really, there&amp;#039;s no good reason to have cheap bedding whatever your age might be,&amp;quot; explains Wood. &amp;quot;But, once you hit your 30s, you should really be treating yourself better.&amp;quot;  8. An unmade bed  &amp;quot;It takes 60 seconds in the morning to make up your bed, and it starts off your day with an accomplished feeling,&amp;quot; says designer Ryan White.  9. Plastic dishware and serving pieces According to Buxbaum and Adler, these just aren&amp;#039;t necessary &amp;quot;unless it&amp;#039;s for the garden party.&amp;quot; (Or your clumsy kids.)  10. Kitchy picture frames  Yes, the one of you and your bestie that says &amp;quot;best friends.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;In your 30s, its time to invest in timeless pieces that you&amp;#039;ll carry with you forever,&amp;quot; says Gibbons. &amp;quot;Think classic silver-plated frames or other styles that feel sophisticated and coordinate with your decor.&amp;quot;  11. Accent Walls &amp;quot;Rather than enhancing a space, it feels like it does just the opposite,&amp;quot; explain Buxbaum and Adler. &amp;quot;There are so many other ways to create a focal point and make a statement.&amp;quot;  12. That collection of shot glasses from your college on display  &amp;quot;These are only okay if you&amp;#039;re still in college AND live in a sorority or frat house!&amp;quot; says Gibbons.  13. An empty fireplace mantel or bookshelf  Use flowers, art, and accessories to add drama to any surface, advises White. &amp;quot;Buy interesting and fun objects to dress up your storage spaces.&amp;quot;  14. Fake plants or trees  Even if you don&amp;#039;t have a green thumb, these just aren&amp;#039;t necessary. &amp;quot;Use air plants that only require a small about of water and attention to green up any room,&amp;quot; says White.  15. The pillows sold with your sofa  They are uniform and boring. &amp;quot;Buy different sized pillows and play with different colors and textures,&amp;quot; says White.
