"    1. A Futon&amp;amp;nbsp; &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, 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\u2014invest in some classic pieces that you can carry with you, but stop waiting.&amp;quot;    3. TV Stands&amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Be gone, TV stands that were purchased with your TV!&amp;quot; says 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;amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;By 30 you should invest in custom framing,&amp;quot; says designer Nicole Gibbons.     5. Florescent floor lamps &amp;amp;nbsp;&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-sizes area rugs &amp;amp;nbsp;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\u2014in 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;amp;nbsp; &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 30&amp;#039;s, you should really be treating yourself better.&amp;quot;     8. An unmade bed&amp;amp;nbsp; &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&amp;amp;nbsp; 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;     10. Kitchy picture frames&amp;amp;nbsp; Yes, the ones of you and your bestie that say best friends. &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;amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Rather than enhancing a space it feels like it does just the opposite,&amp;quot; explains 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 spring break adventures on display. &amp;quot;These are only ok 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&amp;amp;nbsp; 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&amp;amp;nbsp; 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&amp;amp;nbsp;with your sofa&amp;amp;nbsp; They are uniform and boring, &amp;quot;Buy different sized pillows and play with different colors and textures,&amp;quot; says White.
