You don't have to follow the rules, break them! Here's a list of common bad decor habits and what you can do differently.
#1 Coordinating everything
A room that looks overly-coordinated reflects the lack of creativity and flexibility of the occupants. Use different colours, shapes and textures to create a unique sense of style.
#2 Having improper or insufficient lighting
Plan out the lighting in your home based on your needs and the ultimate look and feel of the space. Don't just look out for fancy lighting fixtures.

#3 Poor space-planning
Space-planning can ensure that you've maximised every inch of space you've got. Consider how you would arrange furniture in every part of your home before you start shopping.
#4 Being too formal
Do without the formalities, your home should be a place where you can relax in and feel comfortable. Also, your home should reflect your personality!

#5 Being afraid of colour
Ladies, just like make-up, colour should be used to enhance the look of your space. It may not be a necessity (yes, an all-white colour palette is beautiful), but colour gives your space character!

#6 Neglecting the entrance of your home
As first impression counts, take pride in the entrance of your home. Personalise the space and give your guests a taste of what is to come!

#7 Forgetting to incorporate storage systems
Sounds pretty simple, but some people fail to consider their storage needs while designing and decorating their home. It's better to work in more storage than to have less of it. Speak to an interior designer or a contractor should you need built-in options.
