I’m an interior design expert – three things that make your home look cheap

An interior design expert has pointed out the mistakes people make that can make their homes look cheap.

Vybe Interior, a design company known on TikTok by the username vybeinterior, recently posted a video describing three elements of your home that could hamper its appeal.

1. Untangle your cables

First, Vybe Interior explains that tangled cables from appliances in your house and other devices make your home look disorganized.

Not to mention that cables that are everywhere present a tripping hazard for guests and could very easily knock over and damage devices and equipment.

“You can run your cables through the wall if you want, and if you don’t you can get a sleeve from Amazon,” says Vybe Interior.

Such cases are relatively cheap and can cover up messy cables and even appear as if they are part of the wall.

2. Get rid of pillows with inspirational quotes

To enhance the excellence of your living space’s interior design, Vybe Interior also recommends removing inspirational quote cushions.

They include a picture of a pillow from Wayfair, which costs about $69, with the caption “Live. Laugh. Love”.

This type of element can add inauthentic energy to the room, which some experts say can be crucial.

All Vybe Interior notes on this detail is “Enough. Said.”

Obviously they’re not a fan of what inspirational quote pillows do for the appearance of living spaces.

3. Remove mass-produced artwork

Another important aspect of interior design to improve the quality of your apartment or house is works of art, just not mass-produced, according to Vybe Interior.

They recommend that you try to find something original to make your living space feel more authentic and less cheap and repetitive.

The video features a portrait of Society6, a company that offers modern art and decoration for the home.

It is possible to find less common works on the site, but other avenues such as a local antique shop or independent artists may be a better option.
