This Facebook Group Ridicules People For Making Poor Home Décor Decisions, And Here Are 30 Of The Craziest Ones
Yes, you can choose your own home décor ideas, but will they turn out well?
Let's face it: one's home can make or break the living space décor. Of course, each of us has the right to express our own preferences for how we'd like to design our homes, but that doesn't mean those choices are always wise.
Everyone has individual tastes when it comes to outfitting and creating aesthetically pleasing living spaces, but occasionally, it just isn't right. A disaster in your home's design might go unnoticed by your family or neighbors, but strangers online are a different story. As noted by Dr. Michele Gelfand, cultural psychologist, "Our environments reflect our values, and poor design choices can lead to misunderstandings about our identity."
When it comes to constructing a beautiful space, one must also consider the practical side of things and be able to properly mix the two. People often do not realize how much goes into design. According to Gretchen Rubin, happiness researcher, "The spaces we inhabit can significantly affect our mood and productivity."
Interior design is both an art and a science, and people should remember that. It's a puzzle that must be put together precisely in order to be aesthetically pleasing. As Louise Hay, self-help author, emphasizes, "Your home should be a reflection of your soul, but it also needs to function well for your daily life."
Users of a Facebook page named "That's It, I'm Home/Home Decor Shaming" post images of unpleasant, useless, or even just plain bizarre home design decisions. You guessed it—the members of the aforementioned group spend a lot of time analyzing the photographs presented and describing what they think may have been done differently or what they didn't like.

Okay. Let’s leave aside the waist-deep shag rug for the moment.You can either have the trompe l’oeil riverbank or the shiny tapestry-upholstered couch with the 4’ diameter yellow blossoms on it, but you can’t have both.

For good home décor, the art must be hung at the ideal height for the ceiling in a particular room and for any furniture that may be beneath it. The scale of the sofa must match the surrounding furnishings and your ceilings.
Each piece of furniture must have at least the first two feet of the rug covered. If these tasks are not completed properly, the room may feel unbalanced and cluttered.
Yeah, it is the sofa that's causing the problems here...
