Home decor taboo: Recliners
If you’re planning on getting a recliner, get one that’s a bit more subtle. Even though classic, puffy recliners are just about the comfiest pieces of furniture you can sit on, you should try to find a balance between aesthetics and comfort.
These days, you can discover seamlessly designed recliners that look like regular accent chairs. Or you can get an ordinary chair and add an ottoman in front of it. You can kick your feet up on it, use it for extra seating, and have it add a touch of color or a pattern to your space.
Home decor taboo: Bed skirts
There are better ways to hide the stuff under your bed. Bed skirts make a space look like a museum, and let’s be honest: don’t they remind you of your great-grandma’s room when you were growing up?
If you really want bedding that reaches the floor, we’d recommend buying a platform bed. It gives you a similar look while contemporizing the bed and giving you less bedding pieces to buy.

Excellent piece. I agree 100% with your list of design flaws. They are obvious; however, it will be
very helpful to folks. Thank you.
The barn door craze was always a wonder for me! I approve of every suggestion!!
Very helpful article, although I’m not guilty of any of those.
Very helpful information!
Bravo! So many people cling to bulky recliners, bulky sofas, etc. your list is a good start for upgrading. I would add, try to keep kitchen counters as decluttered as possible.
