One of the biggest decorating mistakes is keeping things you really don't want like an existing carpet or a gift. When it comes to your home, if you really hate something, just get rid of it — throw it out, give it away or donate it to charity because seeing it every day will just make you upset.

Your house is where you should feel good so never keep anything in it you dislike. Don't feel guilted into keeping things that don't suit you by dropping hints to friends and family about your style. When you walk by a store or see something you like in a magazine, show it to them so they understand your taste better.
