While personal taste varies, there are certain types of decorations that might not be suitable for display in a living room, as they could detract from the overall aesthetic, create a cluttered look, or evoke negative feelings. 

Though it's pretty different for everyone, some objects are generally not great as decorations.

Here are some examples of decorations that you might want to avoid displaying in your living room.

Offensive or Inappropriate Artwork

Artwork that is offensive, explicit, or inappropriate for a family-friendly space might not be suitable for the living room, especially if children or guests often visit.

Poorly Executed DIY Projects

While DIY decorations can be charming, poorly executed or amateurish projects might not enhance the room's overall appearance.

Consider carefully whether the DIY item fits the room's style and quality.

Unrelated Clashing Themes

Mixing too many unrelated themes or decorating styles in the same space can create visual confusion and a lack of cohesion. 

Aim for a harmonious design that flows well.

Overly Personal or Intimate Items

While personal items can add character, displaying overly intimate or private items might make guests uncomfortable or invade their privacy.

Non-Functional Clutter

Decorations that serve no functional purpose and simply collect dust or take up space might not be the best choice. 

Opt for decorations that enhance the room's atmosphere or have a practical use.
