An INTERIOR designer has identified several furniture trends that you shouldn't spend your money on. <\/p>\n
The expert said there are smarter ways to decorate your home that will be easier on your wallet. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
TikToker Phoenix Orion Grey (@phoenixgrey) created a video of all the items you shouldn't purchase if you're managing on budget. <\/p>\n
While there are items "worth splurging on … others we can save on," he said. <\/p>\n
The first item that isn't worth draining your funds over \u2014 if you live somewhere with distinct seasons \u2014 is outdoor furniture. <\/p>\n
"When you\u2019re only gonna be able to use it for a few months out of the year, it's not the best investment," Phoenix said. <\/p>\n
He advised to choose "durable budget-friendly options that can withstand the elements."<\/p>\n
"But honestly, it\u2019s not worth it to spend the big bucks here," Phoenix added. <\/p>\n
It's also not worth it to spend a lot of money on children's furniture, he said. <\/p>\n
"They often have a limited use period for kids as they outgrow them relatively quickly," the interior designer revealed. <\/p>\n
