Interior designers have shared their biggest decorating dislikes, highlighting common mistakes that can detract from a space's appeal. Key issues include cluttered decor, overly minimalist designs, and poorly planned layouts. Experts advise against using the same fabric for multiple items in a room, as it can appear lazy.
