• Never group a long couch and a short couch together, “It looks like a doctor’s office,” Taylor says. Use two long or two short if you want two couches. Keep the long couch in the living room and send the short one to the master bedroom sitting room.
• Don’t buy all your window treatments before you do anything else. “When I walk into a house that has window treatments up before the rest of the house is decorated, I want to scream,” Taylor says.
• Don’t make any decorating choices under florescent light. If you are buying a new home, and the builder’s decorating center is in a basement with florescent light, take your choices outside to see how they look in better light.
• Don’t look at floor samples vertically or wallpaper horizontally. Think of how the sample will be viewed in your home, horizontally from above or vertically beside you.
“I can’t tell you how many times I go with someone to a builder and they hold up floor samples vertically,” Taylor says. Also, “You never pick wallpaper unless it’s looked at vertically.”
• Use dark green or black garbage bags, to see if furniture fits the dimension of the room. Using string or tape to outline the measurements doesn’t give an accurate enough idea of how the furniture would fit in the room.
• Don’t put bathroom tile in the kitchen.
