AN EXPERT has listed the four types of furniture to get rid of if you want to impress your guests with a fashionable home.

We spend a lot of time decorating our homes – but sometimes, even despite the best efforts, the space can look overcrowded and outdated.

To make sure your property doesn't fall into the latter, one professional, Raf Michalowski, founder of Meble Furniture, has shared the items to best chuck away this spring clean.

Chatting to The Express, the whizz insisted that too much furniture can make the room feel cramped and uncomfortable.

Although you may think you'll make use of some of these items one day, chances are that probably won't be the case.

“You might have goals to design a unique and stylish home, but some pieces of furniture have no place in your home, and you are better off getting rid of them entirely.”

Broken furniture

Sharing his tips, Raf urged to say ''goodbye'' to anything that's broken.

Not only do these items take up valuable space, but they can also pose a safety hazard to you, your family and pets.

If you, however, do insist on keeping them, especially is the item has a sentimental value, it's worth getting the bits repaired.

Oversized pieces

Wardrobes and entertainment units tend to take up vast amounts of space, so instead, Raf advised to opt for floating shelves where possible.

Available in a range of colours and designs, floating shelves have been all the rage in the recent years and can be used to store plants too.

Unused items

If you're anything like the team at Fabulous, you probably own a piece of furniture that's sitting in the corner collecting dust.

Raf recommended two suggestions – placing it in a different location or simply removing it.

"All of the pieces in your home should offer functionality as well as fashion. If it only looks pretty and isn't serving a purpose, just get rid of it.”

Mismatched furniture

Different styles will clash and if your rooms have items of various designs, the overall look will be ''rather unfashionable,'' the whizz warned.

Raf advised: “Keep your favourite pieces and eliminate the ones that don't flow well with your home's ambience.”
