10 Tacky Home Décor Items You Don't Want

6/10

A Crowded Entryway

First impressions matter, and the first part that most people will see is your home’s entryway. Having too much stuff in an entryway will make it feel cluttered, oppressive, and immediately uncomfortable. Create an open, inviting space at the entrance to your home using these entryway decor ideas.

Lack of a Distinct Personality

We’re not saying that everything in your home should be uniform and each room should be decorated in the exact same style. In fact, that could also make a home feel cheap and staged. What you don’t want, though, is for there to be a lack of cohesion from room to room. Having one room decorated in a modern, minimalist style and the next full of Bohemian decor creates a jarring feeling that makes it seem less like the design of the home was planned and more like it was an accident.

Chevron Patterns

Realtor.com published in an article that the Chevron pattern (a sideways, two-color zig-zag) was played out back in 2017. By now it’s definitely time to ditch the pattern, which looks fine in small doses but can easily become an overwhelming and distracting design feature. Simpler, less attention-grabbing patterns are a better option.
