AN interior expert has shared some design blunders you may be making in your living room and key things you’ll want to change.
Some of your decor decisions could be making your home look cheap as well.
“This first one could easily get overlooked, but always try to provide access to a surface from all seating,” interior designer Jordan Samson explained in a video shared with his 22K TikTok followers.
“Whether it’s a coffee table, side table, or even just a stool, everybody needs a place to put a drink down.”
Samson’s next tip was to make sure that at least the front legs of your sofas and chairs are sitting on your rug.
And for those who like the neutral aesthetic, he said that you should try adding variation to your color palette.

“This doesn’t mean you need a bold accent color, but rather variation in your tones. This will add tons of depth and will make things feel less museum-like,” he stated.
Next, the interior expert talked about lighting.
“Please don’t rely on just your overhead light. A lot of people don’t realize how much lighting can affect your mood.
“Try layering in task and ambient lighting, and this way you can set the mood throughout the day,” he concluded.
Viewers in the comments section of Samson’s clip approved of his suggestions.
“Amazing tips!!” wrote one person.
“Oh hey! I’ve literally made all of these mistakes. Going shopping ASAP!” added another.
“YES with all of it but especially access to table surface! I feel like no one does this! Awkwardly holding my drink/food like some peasant,” a third person joked.
