"An upholstered bedroom wall. It's super expensive, collects dust, is tough to clean, and got really boring really quickly."
"Matte dark cabinets in the kitchen. Fingerprints and splash marks everywhere, all the time, no matter how often you clean."
"A griddle press. The kind that can open for griddling pancakes or change the plates to make panini or waffles. It was annoying to clean, took forever to heat up, and we used it so, so rarely. I demoted it to staying outside because it took up more space than I wanted to spare. Same with the juicer."
"White grout in the entry hallway floors. They were white for precisely three days."
Many trendy home purchases quickly prove impractical because of maintenance issues, limited usefulness, and rapid novelty loss. Upholstered bedroom walls are costly, attract dust, and are difficult to clean, becoming boring. Matte dark kitchen cabinets show fingerprints and splashes constantly despite frequent cleaning. Multipurpose appliances like griddle presses and juicers occupy space, heat slowly, are hard to clean, and are rarely used. White grout in entryways discolors almost immediately. Some multifunctional appliances such as air fryer-toaster oven combos can become favorites, but most hype purchases fail to justify their cost or space requirements.
