Touristy Art
While purchasing a piece of memorabilia or souvenirs are a traditional part of a vacation or trip, try to avoid buying anything super touristy as decor for your home. It will almost always end up looking tacky and may not fit the look of your home.

As designer Young Huh puts it: “Please shop for anything at all while you’re traveling—the loudest Hawaiian shirt, snow globes, mugs. But please don’t make me hang your tourist art. If there are buses parked in front of the gallery, go elsewhere.”
Darkly Colored Walls
Some people want to incorporate a bold color when decorating their home. While this is a great idea, it’s important to execute it properly. One thing to avoid is painting all of the walls of a room a bold, dark color.

Instead, you can choose one wall of the room to paint with a bold color and it can act as the room’s canvas. Just make sure to add muted details to the rest of the room so it won’t become overwhelming.
