1. Complete bedroom sets.

NO! The fastest way to make your bedroom look way too contrived is to buy a complete bedroom set! By all means choose a couple of things that match, but break them up with a few thrift shop finds and eclectic touches! Too matchy-matchy never looks expensive either.

2. Bar carts.

We're not saying that bar carts can't be a super cool addition to a home, as they really can be, but they are a bad choice for untidy people! Unless you keep them super organised and clean, they quickly become a messy dumping ground that just looks hideous!

3. Large entertainment centres.

We understand that you want as much storage as possible, but fixed entertainment units have absolutely no flexibility. Plus, what happens if you choose a new television or your technology needs change? You'll be stuck with a huge installation that does nothing for you!

4. Mass-produced pieces.

There is only one way that mass-produced furniture can look good and that's if you take the time to customise it up a little! Luckily, there are plenty of people out there that enjoy a good flatpack furniture hack, so you'll find loads of inspiration. If you want some now, take a look at this Ideabook: https://www.homify.ca/ideabooks/2710498/ways-to-di…

5. Glass tables.

We know that glass tables look modern and can help to keep light flowing around your home, but wow, they need a lot of upkeep! If you don't keep glass tables clean, they get streaky and greasy and not only that, they can be a little dangerous as well. Stick to wood guys!

6. Kid's furniture.

If you have gone all out and created a kid's bedroom that looks like something out of a carnival, those poor little ones! Poor you as well, as novelty kid's furniture has such a short shelf life in terms of being cool, which means it will be a costly investment. You'd be better off decorating with classic motifs and neutral colours to be honest, but don't just take our word for it, check out this Ideabook: https://www.homify.ca/ideabooks/993858/timeless-b…

7. Formal living room furniture.

Unless you live in a HUGE stately home, we don't really see the point in buying formal living room furniture. Sorry! You need to remember that your lounge is meant to be a comfortable, snug space that you love spending time in with the family, so why get hard-backed chairs and expensive covers, when you can choose something more user-friendly?

8. Oversized furniture.

Hey, before you get all annoyed that we don't love oversized furniture, we do! The problem is when oversized pieces are crammed into a room that is simply too small. If you have the space, then you go right ahead, but if not, start thinking more proportionally, as your rooms will look so much better for it!

9. Pleather recliners.

This one might sting a little guys, but come on! You all know that pleather recliners haven't been in vogue for decades and yet so many people keep buying them and trying to make them look cool. We know they are comfy, but you'd be better off opting for a fabric sofa and some chairs, as they won't date as unflatteringly!

10. Feature dining chairs.

In all honesty, we might be referring specifically to these chairs! Can you see the shaped back that replicates a tush? That's enough to put anyone off their food, surely?  Stick to classic dining chair styles that are unfussy, simple and can wok with any kind of table!
