Average Lifespan of Household Items

AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF LIVING ROOM FURNITURE

First, let’s start with the the hub of our daily activities at home — living room. The furniture in this space is subjected to a significant amount of wear and tear. This is particularly true if you have indoor pets or children.

Sofas, Couches and Recliners

Typically, a sofa or couch has an average lifespan of 7-15 years. As it nears the end of its lifespan, you may notice sagging cushions, creaking sounds, and worn-down fabric, indicating that it's time for a replacement. Recliners typically have a lifespan of around 10 years, but with gentle use, they can last even longer.

Coffee Tables and Side Tables

When it comes to tables, their lifespan is more dependent on style rather than function. Tables can often be found on yard sale sites or on sale at a reasonable price. However, if you frequently use your coffee table for dance parties or other activities that subject it to wear and tear, you may need to replace it more frequently.

AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF BEDROOM FURNITURE AND ITEMS

Bedroom Furniture

This is primarily a matter of personal style and interior decor. If you're looking to refresh the look of your room, one option is to update your furniture. Alternatively, you might want to consider experimenting with a new paint color first!

AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF APPLIANCES AND KITCHEN ITEMS

Refrigerators

A typical refrigerator has a lifespan of approximately 10-20 years.

Stoves

On average, a stove has a lifespan of around 13-15 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help extend its lifespan.

Washers

Typically, a washing machine has an average lifespan of around 11 years.

Dryers

A dryer typically has a lifespan of 8-12 years. Regularly cleaning the dryer vent can help increase its lifespan.

Dishwashers

The lifespan of a dishwasher is typically around 8-10 years. However, you can extend the lifespan of your dishwasher by following some maintenance tips.

Cookware

Typically, nonstick pots and pans have a lifespan of around 5 years. However, cast iron cookware can last for a much longer time.

OTHER IMPORTANT HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

Air Filters

To maintain good air quality in your home, it is important to replace the air filter regularly, ideally every 30-90 days. However, if anyone in your household has allergies or asthma, it is recommended to replace the filter more frequently, around the 30-day mark.
