Marissa (@honeylunehivery) revealed the furniture she disapproved of in a video shared with over 160,000 TikTok followers.
The interior designer acknowledged that her field was a subjective one, as design often comes up to personal preference.
“That being said, here are some things I would not spend my money on as an interior designer,” she said.
First up, she strongly recommended avoiding furniture upholstered in boucle fabric: “I get that these are trending but unless you never want to sit on that chair… it is such a poor quality fabric to invest in.”
Although companies may claim boucle is stain-resistant, she explained that was the point of the fabric but it wasn’t worth the uncomfortable texture.
Next were glass tables of all kinds, including coffee and dining tables.
“One, they smudge and also they don’t have that visual weight to them,” she said.
“The anxiety I get from placing anything on these surfaces… not worth it.”
Last but not least were backless stools: “As beautiful as they are, they are not great in terms of ergonomics,” she said.
“If you plan to be sitting on these a lot, whether it’s doing work on your kitchen islands, I would opt for one with backs.”
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her take.
One woman, who personally owned a boucle chair, offered some advice: “I just used a fabric shaver on my boucle chair,” she said.
“Looks good as new! And on snags, I use a needle threader to pull through to the underside.”
