Big/Bulky Furniture
When visiting a furniture showroom, remember one thing: they are usually much bigger than your home. That couch may have looked great there but once in your living room, the proportions could be totally off. Be sure to measure before buying anything.
Floating Rugs
A rug should be touching a piece of furniture at all times. Floating area rugs are a big no no; they make a room look awkward and disproportionate (see below). Before buying an area rug, be sure to measure properly to ensure your family room doesn’t look like this one.
