Quote Wall Decals
Wall decals can be a great decor solution especially if you are in a rented space. However, there is almost nothing more egregious than a wall decal with quotes. The issue isn’t that these are bad in themselves, but they’re just very overdone.
Another thing to try to avoid is “labeling” the room with a wall decal, for example with the words “read” or “play.” The room’s purpose does not have to be written out on the wall, and that just looks tacky.
Chevron Patterns
The chevron is a very divisive pattern. Many people absolutely love it and some absolutely despite it. We think that because it is such a bold pattern, it elicits a strong reaction. This is why you should avoid it.
It is difficult to make a chevron design work in a living room as it can easily overwhelm the room. The pattern is almost hypnotizing, and that is not the look you should aim for in a living room as it is not relaxing.
