While watching home decorating shows, have you ever noticed designers mention design decisions that are instant no-nos, faux pas or pet peeves? It happens in every industry, including home decorating. So...what are they so you can be sure to NOT do them?
In today's episode, I'm answering listener Eleanor's question who has noticed design no-nos that she wants to avoid in her own home. She's asking for a list so she can be sure to avoid them all. So if you're wondering which rules are important and which ones shouldn't be broken, listen up...this episode is for you!

10 decorating pet-peeves of home designers (aka 10 mistakes you should avoid in home decorating):

1. Too small, non-existant or floating area rugs.

2. Pushing furniture against the walls.

3. Cluttered surfaces. Too many smalls rather than fewer, larger piecess.

4. Capri curtains.

5. Ignoring scale and proportion.

6. Overhead lighting instead of layered lighting.

7. Matchy-matchy furntiure sets.

8. Too thematic rather than alluding to farmhouse, beach cottage, etc.

9. Ignoring the entry way or front porch.

10. TV as the focal point or shrine in the room.
