15 Things You Shouldn't Have in Your Home Once You're Over 40
Okay, so we're all different at what's one person's pleasure is another's pain so to speak! But there are some things that people over the age of 40 really should think about before they let them into their homes and plenty more that really should be shown the door!
Futons 
Room Decorating Ideas
Futon may be space saving, however, they're not that comfortable when you're past a certain age, especially for sleeping on. Leave futons for the younger generations!
Posters that you had in your dorm 
College Fashion
Try not to live in the past by plastering your walls with posters that you had in your dorm. If you want posters do it in a mature and adult way by going vintage and strategically placing them rather than plastering.
Pukey colours

Threadbare towels

A glass collection from garage coupons 
Kitchen Stewardship
If you're over 40 ten you probably remember the days when you could get free drinking glasses by collecting coupons from certain petrol garages! If you still have these cheap glasses knocking around it's time to get rid of them, unless you have an entire collection and then you never know they could be classed as vintage and worth a few bob!
Random knick-knacks

You've lived long enough to have a massed your own collections of personal accessories; random knick-knacks don't really serve any purpose but to gather dust.
Curtains that don't fit
