AN INTERIOR designer has revealed seven popular trends that she said you should never decorate your house with. Valentina revealed one common household decoration that "downgrades the room" and shared why you need to get rid of your magazines. Speaking on her YouTube channel, @houseofvalentina , she said: "These items aren't giving us the full potential of our space.
Valentina revealed that she herself has displayed magazines around her house, as decorations. However, she said that this is not a "good look". "They just look messy, and don't convey a sophisticated look", she said.
The interior designer said that she does not think that people should have their laundry hanging out when they have guests around. She said that if you don't have time to put it all away before people arrive, you can put it in a wicker basket. "Most people store their remotes on the table, I never do that", Valentina said.
She said that leaving your TV remote out is very messy, and recommended putting them in a drawer or a box. Valentina said that she would never decorate her home with trophies or memorabilia. "Generally speaking these things are clutter, so I put memorabilia and keepsakes in a box.
"That way when I want to be sentimental, I know where to put them". Small books make your home look "cluttered" according to Valentina. She said that she tucks these books into a cupboard, and only has larger books out on display.
"I love books, I just don't decorate with the little ones", she said. Homeb.
