- Don't let quirky design trends dictate your style; choose
pieces that resonate with your personal taste and space.
- While some eccentric decor items like the faceless rabbit lamp or
the disco gnome can add whimsy, always consider their practicality
and emotional impact.
- Even affordable decor can look luxurious if styled thoughtfully,
but always be cautious of overpaying for novelty items that may not
stand the test of time.
