Home decor taboo: Futons
Not only do futons rarely add anything to the rooms look-wise, but they’re also always uncomfortable. Many people use these as beds for guests, but wouldn’t you rather sleep on a comfy sofa than a futon with those metal bars digging into your back?
If you frequently host and don’t have a spare room, invest in an excellent air mattress rather than an uncomfortable futon. You can always hide an air mattress in the back of your closet when you’re not using it… But good luck hiding that eyesore of a futon.
Home decor taboo: Outdated-looking ceiling fan
Look at your options if you’re going to have a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans are functional, but they don’t exactly have the most pleasing look.
If a ceiling fan is a must, and we understand that for a lot of people, it is, we recommend really looking into different designs and finding one that complements the overall layout of your space instead of one that sticks out like a sore thumb.

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.
