    5 things making your house look worse

Transcript

Five things making your house look worse. Dark walls or wallpaper running right up into a stark white ceiling. No crown molding, very harsh transition. We can soften this by adding a little crown. Even better, we can paint the crown and the ceiling a complimentary color to the wall, or we just paint the whole room one color. Next is different color temperature light bulbs and fixtures. Lighting is half the battle in design, so if you can just align the lighting in your house, it's a huge step forward. Next is LED strip fixtures. This is a hard no for me. I don't wanna see that bright white strip. This is a worse, not tron. Next is exposed quartz. You or an adult find a practical way to deal with this. We're so used to seeing ugly stuff in modern life that a lot of times we don't even notice it, but it makes a huge difference if you find a way to hide this. Finally, your art is probably hung too high. Almost everyone does this and it's throwing off the balance of the room rank making the walls feel disproportional. The vast, vast majority of art should be hung where the center of the artwork is at eye level about 60 inches from the floor. I hope this is all helpful. Thank you for watching.
