Net curtains
Lacey net curtains could be seen hanging in the windows of almost every house on the planet at one time – and they served a very real purpose.
Not only do they add a layer of privacy to ground-floor levels, but they also allow light into a room without creating glare.
Yet these days, with so many sleek window dressing options available, we reckon it’s curtains for net – at least for now.
Doilies
Speaking of lace, doilies can also make their way into the recycling pile! We think of these intricate placemats fondly, yet whether they’re made from paper to catch the drips from a teacup or lovingly crocheted by your grandma, doilies have definitely had their day. We thank them for their years of service protecting our furniture and bid them a final goodbye.
