Furniture Skirts
Don’t give your living room a vintage look by adding ruffled skirts to furniture. It will leave the area too clustered and stiff. You should opt for plain straight skirts if you added some. This is one of the ugliest ways to make your home appear like something that escaped a bombing raid during World War II. Skirts will also become dirty quickly and will build up unwanted dust and pet hair as animals love to snuggle the material.
Don’t Go Gold
Times have changed tremendously from the age-old gold fixtures decking every room in the house. They are not as interesting as they were before, so adjusting the style of your living room is a great idea. That being said, a bit of gold can certainly make a statement and bring a bit of a “wow” factor to a space. Just make sure that gold would go with your overall theme, as there are plenty of ways to make gold seem kitsch if it does not flow with the rest of the ambiance.
