Too Many Colors and Patterns

We know we said you shouldn’t match everything in a room, but on the flip side, don’t use too many colors and patterns together. That’s just as bad. Go with a color palette you choose and stick to one pattern. Having the wall, curtains, bedsheets, and furniture all completely different colors can be overwhelming. Some contrasting colors are fine, just don’t go overboard.

Hanging Frames Too Low

If you find yourself having to crouch or crane your neck down to look at a picture or art piece, then it’s too low. When frames are hung too low, they create the illusion that the walls are shorter than they really are. In order to keep your house looking up-to-date, keep frames hung up about 60″ from the ground.
