Stop-cease and desist. Don't make these 8 Decorating Mistakes!
Ok, you're in your new Delaware home. You start to decorate. It's so easy to get carried away. Take a look at these 8 decorating mistakes from Purewow.com. The post says, "Hey, we can appreciate all home aesthetics, there are certain no-nos we just cannot abide. Here, eight that drive us totally bonkers. Consider this your official decorating cease and desist."
- Youre hanging your art too high. The center of any painting should be at eye-level. (Thats about 58 inches off the ground.)
- Youre pushing all your furniture against the walls. Move furniture into groupings for a cozy, lived-in feel.
- Youre afraid of color. Don't be.
- Youve got too many pillows on your couch or bed. If your guests have to remove cushions just to put their butts on the love seat, you know youve gone overboard.
- Youre too trend-driven.
- Youre too matchy-matchy. Start mixing and matching patterns, materials, eras and the like.
- Youve made the TV the focal point of the room. Instead of mounting it front and center in the middle of your living room, consider placing it off to the side, concealing it behind a cabinet or mixing it into a gallery wall.
- You forgot about lighting. Mix standing and table lamps into your design, and consider putting your ceiling fixtures on dimmers.
