- Throw pillows and plants can sometimes be overdone, leading to
a cluttered and uninspired look.
- Fake decorative items, such as books and animals, often come with
high price tags and can lack authenticity and charm.
- Unconventional decor like disembodied hand lamps, faceless rabbit
lamps, and antler chandeliers can add a whimsical or eerie touch
but may not always be practical or appealing.
