DESIGNING a home takes a lot of time, money, and research.
Most of us don’t want our homes to look cheap or tacky, but if you’re not an expert on the subject, it’s hard to avoid some common mistakes.
An interior designer named Anthony Immediato, who goes by @anthonyimmediato on social media, has gained a following of over 55k users on TikTok thanks to his useful home décor tips that are easy to follow.
He recently revealed three things you would never find in his home, thanks to his experience in the field.
The first item on his list addressed a common mistake we make in the bedroom.
“The first thing that I’ve mentioned before, and I’ll keep mentioning, is matching bed sets.
“I don’t think they necessarily look bad. I think they’re a good plan B, but I think it’s better when you find mix and matched pieces that are personalized and unique.”
If you’re thinking about hanging an American flag above your bar cart, just don’t do it.
According to Anthony, flags don’t belong on your walls.
“Not just the American flag, any flag. Unless you’re in a dorm room, I wouldn’t do this.”
His last piece of advice was to avoid painted furniture.
“Mostly painted vintage, quality wood furniture.
“Why are you painting this beautiful, probably once walnut credenza from the mid-century time frame, why are you painting it teal? Don’t paint it teal.”
It’s better to preserve the original patina of the unique piece and keep its worn appeal.
Viewers agreed with his takes:
“Painted vintage makes me viscerally upset,” one person wrote.
“With you on all of these, especially painting vintage furniture. That’s a big no for me,” added another.
