The outlet advise to "layer" different types lighting sources like "chandelier," "floor lamp," fixtures, etc.
2. Hang Pictures with the Right Height
According to the article, "The center of the image should be at eye height, around 57 or 58 inches - lower than most people expect. If you're putting up a gallery wall, you not only need to be thoughtful with the height of the image but also the layout."

4. Following Every Trend
This can easily make your home a disaster! Following almost all the trends that are coming up in the market will make your place chaotic. Try to create balance in your place and stick with what works best in your home.
"If the season's dark and moody hues are too much for your space, paint a single accent wall and incorporate edgy leopard in an occasional chair that can easily be swapped out as tastes change."
5. Be Careful with Decorative Painting
