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?
This Facebook group is basically a live-action home décor roast, and the posts do not pull punches. One minute it’s “home sweet home,” the next it’s a room that looks like it got dressed by committee and then fought a little with itself.
The complicated part is how specific it gets. People are picking between a trompe l’oeil riverbank and a shiny tapestry couch with giant yellow blossoms, debating whether a wicker couch even matches faux sheepskin chairs, and trying to figure out how you’re supposed to live with a trapezoid mirror that has absolutely zero relationship to the rest of the theme. Then you’ve got the all-white bedroom plan, the 4’ diameter drama, and the bathroom that makes you ask how anyone enters or exits the tub without starting a new episode of “What Were They Thinking.”
And once the lights are out, the comments get even worse.

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.

5. The Nice Thing About The Coffee Table Is That The Blood From The Scraped Shins Wipes Off Easily. I'm Not Sure If The Wicker Couch Matches The Faux Sheepskin Chairs That Don't Go With The Fake Colonial Side Table Sitting Next To The Tourist Souvenir Tiki Idols, But The Polka Dots On The Couch Really Pull It All Together

That’s when the waist-deep shag rug gets sidelined, and the group starts arguing like it’s a courtroom about the trompe l’oeil riverbank versus the yellow-blossom tapestry couch.
Next comes the coffee table situation, where someone jokes that the blood from scraped shins wipes off easily, because apparently that’s what this room was designed for.
By the time the group gets to the all-white bedroom and the 16 white Persian cats shedding, it’s clear nobody is surviving this thread without getting dragged for their choices.

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...

Nobody wants to work for free, especially not when your “privacy curtains” cost $16 and your whole room looks like a warning label.
