There are supposed rules for decorating but most people think differently about them. This explains their thinking. Not everyone feels they need to follow a rule. You don’t have to either. Decorate in a way that will make you happy instead of what will please others.
Key Takeaways:
- Curtain Hanging Survey says: 69% of respondents liked curtains that are hung from above the top of the window and that end just at the floor. The least popular option was curtains that just cover a window, hung from within recessed window frames, and the next least popular option was curtains hung from above the window that drape on the floor.
- Kitchen Countertops Survey says: Only two options were given for countertops: all granite (54% of the upvotes) and a granite-wood combo (53% of the downvotes). Granite has been at the top of the countertop game for a long time, and mix-and-match countertops have been a trend lately, so it’s not surprising that these are about equally liked. They both have their advantages, and they both look great!
- Area Rug Designs Survey says: The most-liked style of rug was “contemporary,” garnering 27% of the thumbs up. (there were 12 options, dividing the vote.) “Contemporary” is frustratingly vague, especially coming from a rug company, but the example they gave is abstract, distressed, and somewhat striped, in orange and gray. The most-disliked rug was the ubiquitous cowhide, getting 30% of the thumbs down vote.
