9. Say no to a themed room 

Even though at the beginning it might be fun to have a themed room, unfortunately, these tend to become boring in a really short time. And if you decide that you don’t want that kind of chamber anymore, you will have to make time to get rid of the things you bought, maybe sell them, and then go on a hunt for others.

However, if you like certain elements, such as animal print items, we’re not saying you should turn one of your rooms into a safari, but maybe add one or two elements that have an animal print on them, such as a pillow or a vase, to a regular room.

…What do you think about these decorating mistakes? Have you ever done any of these? We are curious to know, so make sure to leave a comment in the section down below!

    What a good variety of ideas.
    I hadn’t really realized I had a themed living room. I thought SW, but it’s more AmerIndian. Plans to change it out slightly.
    The first 3 ideas are the ones I’ll be implementing first. I never think I have enough pillows. They and my artwork are the “color” in the living room. But, I’ve noticed my guests always moving them off of the furniture.
    You hit on the things that I’ve been taking for granted/not noticing.
    Thank you.

    I have never heard of scones lighting before. I am assuming you mean sconses. Found most everything interesting though.
