Tips for Decorating Your Home

1. A Futon. "Futons are le worst! The older you get the squishier your bed should be," says designer, potter and author, Jonathan Adler.


2. Temporary furniture. "Often I see people waiting to move into the 'forever home' before they begin to decorate, and until then, simply buy whatever is on sale to fill up the space," says designer Scot Meacham Wood. "But, by the age of 30, you should really be living intentionally—invest in some classic pieces that you can carry with you, but stop waiting."


3. TV Stands. "Be gone, TV stands that were purchased with your TV!" says Lauren Buxbaum and Sasha Adler, Design Directors at Nate Berkus Associates. "It's time to do something a little less functional and a little more decorative."

4. Art or posters taped to the wall without frames. "By 30 you should invest in custom framing," says designer Nicole Gibbons.


5. Florescent floor lamps. "They can be very unflattering," warns Buxbaum and Adler. "Incandescent and soft lighting floor lamps are just as accessible, but they're easier on the eyes, prettier in the space and do wonders for your complexion."


6. Bare wood floors and postage stamp size area rugs. Rugs ground a room and bring so much warmth and life to a space. "Instead of reaching for the quickest solution, reach for a rug that adds texture, color or pattern—in the largest size your room can handle!" advise Buxbaum and Adler. "It's amazing how it can elevate the whole look of a room."
