Designing your home — or anything, really — is a lot of work.
There are so many decisions to make and things to buy and Pinterest fails to live through. So we teamed up with style and interior design expert Emily Henderson to solve some of the most common design mistakes that can make your space look smaller, outdated, and generally ~blah~.
Get bigger art.
"Art hung the wrong way on a wall is like a character in a movie wearing a really bad wig," Henderson said. "It’s just kinda hard NOT to see it, and you wish so bad you could just rip it off, knowing that everything would be so much better without it. It may not ruin your experience, but it’s terribly distracting."
Ideally, art should take up one-half to two-thirds of the width of whatever it's hanging above.
To have good balance, the piece of art, or pieces of art in a collection, should be in the same shape and orientation of the wall that it is trying to fill.
And believe it or not, big art doesn't have to be expensive! Check out this list for lots of places to buy affordable original art. Or DIY some of your own.
