the top mistakes of lay decorators
- Too many throw pillows on a bed.
- A TV above the mantel.
- Art hung too high.
- Curtain hardware hung too low.
- A sofa placed on a diagonal.
- Pairs of everything—too stiff and contrived.
- Rugs so white, they require shoe removal.
- Uncomfortable antique sofas.
the top mistakes of professionals
- Overdone curtains. Window dressing should be functional first.
- Overly styled bookcases—don't we read anymore?
- Absurd quantities of flowers—a little goes a long way.
- Scented-candle overload! One is plenty.
