STOP Making These Costly Mistakes When Designing your Living Room (Try These Instead)

Your living room can look lovely in photos and still be hard to live in. These ten mistakes are why, and every one has a budget-friendly fix. We start with the problems your body notices first: a room with no clear path through it, a coffee table in the wrong spot, seating that only suits one kind of body, furniture pushed against every wall, a TV mounted too high, a rug that's too small or slips, and a room lit by one ceiling light. Then we move to how the room feels: making everything match, playing it so safe the room says nothing, and holding on to pieces you don't like. Along the way you'll find renter-friendly options, safety points on anchoring TVs and keeping rugs and cords from becoming trip hazards, and ideas that work for every age in your home. At the end there's a simple seat-by-seat test you can do from your own sofa tonight. Which of these is hiding in your living room right now? Tell me in the comments. If you rent, check with your landlord before mounting or fixing anything to the walls. #LivingRoomDesign #InteriorDesignTips #HomeDecor
