Sophia (@houseofd3) shared the three home decor choices she would avoid.
“3 things are that making your house look tacky,” she said.
“I have literally never seen anyone’s house that looks good with these things in it.”
First up on the chopping block for the interior designer were faux plants.
“Plants are one of those things that can look great in a picture for a moment but when you get into a real room with real lighting and real living, it just looks bad,” she said.
For the look of a real plant but lower maintenance, the designer suggested opting for plants that grow easily indoors and hardly need to be watered.
“It not only looks aesthetically beautiful, it also scrubs your air, brings more oxygen, and helps you feel at peace.”
Next up were word signs: “Words signs are placeholders, they’re something you put on the wall because you have a space and you just want something to fill it,” she said.
Instead, she recommended replacing the signs with personalized art, family photos, or travel maps for personality.
Last but not least were accent walls: “It just makes one side of your room look extremely heavy and complete while the rest looks unfinished,” she said.
To balance the look of an accent wall, she recommended putting paint on either the remaining walls or the ceiling and being sure to furnish the room with appropriate-sized pieces.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her tips.
“I totally hate word signs! Especially when the whole house is covered,” agreed one commenter.
“I’m not into any, love these tips,” said another.
