It's scary to think about all the things we see or hear out there about interior design. Here's a roundup of our October tips so your interior design doesn't turn spooky:
Skinny curtain rods make your home look cheap. Always opt for a diameter of 1" or more.
When you're stumped about adding more color to a room choose a neutral.
Area rugs define a zone so be sure yours is the right size. Like Goldilocks: not too small, not too big.
Wicker lamp shades are not durable, practical, and they look inexpensive. Skip.
Your side/end table should not be higher than your sofa.
Yes, you can mix different woods in the same room. Just be sure they compliment each other.
