Overwhelming Tapestries
Tapestries are a great decor solution for college students. They take up the entire wall and give the room a fun and groovy feel. However, unfortunately this style does not translate well in a grownup’s apartment or home, especially in the living room.
Avoid the overly busy tapestry in the living room. If you really love it, you should hang it up in another room, but definitely keep it away from the main living space. The Bohemian-chic trend has not lasted past the early 2000’s.
Bookcase Wallpaper
There’s nothing more elegant than a giant bookcase taking up the wall in the living room filled with books of all kind. However, this look cannot and should not be replicated with wallpaper. To be clear, that is wallpaper with a picture of a full bookcase.
The misleading photo gives the impression that you just want to room to look like it has an intellectual feel, but it actually has the opposite effect. If you don’t have many books, you can try floating shelves instead.
