25 Biggest Decorating Mistakes: #25-#12

One trick decorators always use is to mix it up. If you have a sofa with a heavy bottom (upholstered all the way to the floor instead of the legs), don't do a big coffee table. Instead, use something light made of glass or with legs and add a tall thin floor lamp to help bring your eye up and make it more dynamic. Also, mount window treatments very high up and/or include a very tall amoire. Be sure to keep your furniture arrangements balanced to the eye.
